A New Angle is an educational, business, and popular culture podcast celebrating cool people doing awesome things in and around Montana. We release weekly interviews with entrepreneurs, politicians, journalists, writers, athletes, nonprofit execs, scientists, and more on topics relevant to Montanans and, anyone, really.
We live in the College of Business at the University of Montana. Studio 49, our recording studio, was generously donated by UM alums, Michele and Loren Hansen.
New episodes drop every Thursday. You can catch them here very early in the morning, or at 7:30 p.m. on Montana Public Radio. Yellowstone Public Radio airs our episodes on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.
Past guests include Eric Sprunk (UM Alum and former Nike, Inc. COO), US Senator Jon Tester, US Representative (now current governor) Greg Gianforte, Cheryl Strayed (best-selling author of Wild), NYT Columnist Maureen Dowd, the plaintiffs in the first-in-the-nation climate trial, Held v. MT, and many others.
The Team…
Justin Angle, Creator and Host
Justin is a teacher, scholar, story-teller, athlete and father. In addition to his day job as a professor at the University of Montana College of Business, he’s executed $100 million bond trades, run 100 mile races, written a book, and failed repeatedly to get his two daughters to bed without a battle.
Keely Larson, Producer
Keely Larson was born and raised in Montana and hasn’t left. She worked for two years as a community journalist before getting her MA in environmental journalism at the University of Montana. Her work has been published in The New Republic, Ars Technica, Outside Business Journal, KFF Health News, Montana Free Press, and other outlets in Montana. She loves dancing, prosecco and running around the mountains, and wouldn’t say no to back up dancing for Missy Elliott if asked.

Ella grew up in the foothills of the North Cascades in Washington before venturing east for college and eventually across the Atlantic to spend two years teaching in France. She now finds herself happy to be back in the mountain west, and attending grad school at UM’s environmental journalism masters program. In her free time Ella enjoys pretty much any outdoor activity but trail running and skiing are at the top of the list.
