In this first episode of the New Year, we bring editor of Banks Mag, Ryan Bailey on to discuss the Midas Gold Stibnite site in the headwaters of the South Salmon and the origins of Banks Mag. From there we make our New Year’s resolution of no more paddle feather talk. Shane Benedict comes on to answer the question of why boats break more than they used. Of course, we cover listener mail and everyone’s favorite rants and raves!  As always thank you for listening.
