Aaron Flint will be doing his Voices of Montana radio show on Friday, November 27, 2009 from Terry, Montana. He will set up to do his one hour broadcast live from the Badlands Café and Scoop Shoppe starting at 9 a.m. and will be interviewing Bob van der Valk about happenings in Terry and Prairie County.

All residents of Terry and Prairie County are invited to join Aaron Flint and Bob van der Valk at the Badlands Café.

Aaron Flint is the host of the popular statewide talk radio show “Voices of Montana”. He has deep Montana roots, since his father’s family homesteaded near Flathead Lake, and his mother’s family goes back four generations in Glasgow. While in fourth grade Aaron recalls stuffing newspapers for the Glasgow Courier, which for years was published and edited by his grandparents, Ron and Joan Helland.

A First Lieutenant in Montana’s Army National Guard, Aaron has served two military tours overseas, in 2005-06 as an Infantry Platoon Leader in Ramadi, Iraq, and later in 2008-09 as an embedded advisor with the Afghan National Police at COP Wilderness in Afghanistan.

Flint’s journalistic experience began as a journalism student at Howard University, and he later received a BA degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Montana where he served as President of the Associated Students. He also worked for two years as a Policy Advisor on the Washington staff of U.S. Senator Conrad Burns. Flint’s broadcast career includes work with Montana Public radio, a runner for the NBC News Today show at the 2004 National Political Conventions, an internship with Bloomberg TV and Radio in Washington, DC, and as Executive Producer and Reporter with KTVQ-2 Television in Billings.

Flint enjoys combining his real world background and Montana roots, with a love for journalism, saying “Every day, I hope to take a wide range of experiences to show audiences the bigger picture, or to give them a side of the story they won’t get anywhere else”.

Aaron and his wife Jessica have two young boys, Matthew and Jaxson.
