    First over-the-counter birth control approved by FDA Jul 18, 2023

    One third of women in the U.S. who have tried to get birth control have had trouble getting a prescription when they need one.

    Getting into a doctor to get the prescription is a major barrier, especially in a state like Idaho where a growing lack of physicians can make getting an appointment anytime soon very difficult. Lack of insurance, finding a pharmacy and not speaking English are other barriers to getting “the pill” when you need it.

    The Food and Drug Administration has responded to this frustration by approving the first over-the-counter oral contraceptive. The pill will be available at drugstores, grocery stores, online and even at your local convenience store.

    Dr. Sarah Prager, a professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Director of the departments family planning division joined Idaho Matters to talk about the new pill and what it means for women.

    Parents of newborns like to keep their babies close using what’s known as body-worn baby carriers, but a new study coming out of Boise State’s Babi Lab says not all of those carriers are created equal and some may have troubling effects on your baby’s hips.

    Erin Mannen is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at Boise State University and she’s the Director of the Boise Applied Biomechanics of Infants Lab, which conducted the new study.

    Imagine you’re sitting in a beautiful mountain setting surrounded by jagged peaks and tumbling waterfalls or resting alongside the Big Wood River in Sun Valley.

    Now imagine you can hear live classical music, directly in your ears using headphones, as you watch the beauty unfold around you.

    This is what happens every time classical pianist Hunter Noack sits down at his piano to play a concert. Hunter brings his nine-foot Steinway to remote wilderness locations all over country to play classical music and next week he’s coming to Sun Valley.

    Hunter is a classical pianist and the founder of the “In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild” concert series. He joined Idaho Matters, along with Kristine Bretall, Public Programs Director with Sun Valley Museum of Art, to talk more about his upcoming performance.

    It was 75 years ago when "Geronimo the Parachuting Beaver" fell out of a plane over the Frank Church No Return Wilderness landed in the middle of nowhere and started building beaver dams.

    It was 30 years ago when "Lonesome Larry the Sockeye Salmon" was the only fish to make it back to Idaho's Redfish Lake from the Pacific Ocean. His lonely journey became a turning point for saving a fish species from extinction.

    Geronimo and Larry have been joined by the "Skiing Spud" and a few other famous Idaho characters on collector cards, like baseball cards, only instead of strikes and other stats these collectable cards are designed to teach Idaho history to kids.

    Liz Hobson, Museum Administrator of the Idaho State Museum, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more about the cards.

    Last week seven Attorney's General from different states, including Idaho's Raúl Labrador, addressed a letter to the department store, Target warning that products sold as part of its Pride Month Campaign could violate state protection laws.

    The letter did not say in what ways the campaign overstepped these laws, but did propose that the corporation focus on a different kind of pride, one which focuses more on "the love of the United States."

    Professor and Attorney McKay Cunningham, the Director of On-Campus Experiential Learning at the College of Idaho joins Idaho Matters to talk more about the letter.

    A note: We did reach out to Attorney General Labrador's office and they said that they had no additional comments on the letter at this time.
