Who Will Teach Montana’s Kids?
By Janet Banister Morgenstern and Aaron the Sound Guy
During the spring of 2026, Janet and Aaron the Sound Guy noticed that there were very few music teachers in eastern Montana that were younger than they were. A few months, a few conversations, and some social research later, they realized Montana has a very, very big problem.
Related to Janet’s work on “How To Not Start a Cult (Probably),” Janet is studying the reasons behind Montana’s teacher shortage, and why the worst is yet to come.
Wilderness of Errors
Written and Produced by Robert Vitt and Janet Banister Morgenstern
The JFK Assassination, as it has been handed down to us, is a case originating from human error. Errors of judgement, errors of institutions, errors too dark to yet understand.
We have inherited a darkness, and wander in a wilderness of errors.
How to Not Start a Cult (Probably)
By Janet Banister Morgenstern
We all have one. The office menace. The sports-parent tyrant. The church volunteer who treats a clipboard like a weapon. We accommodate, compromise, and practice calm conversations in the mirror. Nothing changes. Somehow it gets worse.
Here’s why: they’re not broken. They’re rewarded. They act this way because it works.
This book isn’t about fixing those people. It’s about fixing the system.
It explores how to build communities where control doesn’t pay, manipulation stops working, and being awful is no longer a winning strategy.
How to Not Start a Cult (Probably), Book and Podcast, will be released in 2027!
