    Kris Komori, co-owner of KIN in Downtown Boise, was named best chef Mountain Region. He was among five finalists in the category, including the co-owner and chef at Amano in Caldwell.

    Idaho Matters sat down with Komori to talk about the special recognition.

    When it comes to the northern lights, places like Iceland and Alaska are usually thought of as the best kind of spots to catch a glimpse of the famous Aurora Borealis.

    But Thursday night, several states in the continental United States might have the opportunity to see the natural phenomenon thanks to a particularly strong solar storm. Brian Jackson, Associate Professor for the Department of Physics at Boise State University, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this possible sighting.

    While COVID-19 ravaged the country, the United States has also been experiencing a number disease outbreaks that we don't normally see, like Dengue Fever, Monkeypox, Measles, Malaria and even polio. Why are we seeing these diseases now? And what can we do about them?

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to help answer these questions.

    As we get further into summer and temperatures continue to rise, so does the risk of heat stroke.

    Across the U.S., an average of 702 people die from heat related illness each year, according to the CDC. Here in Idaho we've already had our first heat -related death of 2023.

    While heat stroke can be deadly, it is also preventable. So we invited Dr. Christine Hahn, the Medical Director in the Idaho Division of Public Health, on Idaho Matters to give us some tips on how to stay safe in the sun.

    Its was warm and balmy in early June in Idaho, but half a world away one Idaho reporter was freezing cold on the side of an African mountain.

    Clark Corbin with the Idaho Capital Sun has a habit of trekking to some very unique locations when he goes on vacation. Last year, he told us about his trip into the wilds of Yellowstone National Park and this spring he decided to climb to the top of one of the worlds tallest mountains.

    Clark is back to tell us about his trip and why he felt the call to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

    In a tiny town on a lonely stretch of western highway, a glowing neon drugstore sign beckons as cars and loaded semi-trucks thunder past. A few travelers stop - maybe they're wondering about the vintage soda fountain visible through the window.

    Inside, they find a time capsule over 100 years in the making. Jeff Whittington has this report for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    What the U.S. Supreme Court decision means for student loans in Idaho Jul 11, 2023

    More than 40 million Americans will have to start paying back their student loans after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Biden Administration’s loan forgiveness plan isn’t legal.

    Earlier this year, the Idaho Capital Sun reported that over 79,000 Idahoans could have seen some debt relief if the plan had gone ahead. The paper also found that half of Idahoans who have a federal loan are younger, under 35 years old.

    So what happened to the original plan? To break down the court decision we asked Shaakirah Sanders back on the show to explain. She is a professor of law and Associate Dean of Anti-racism and Critical Pedagogy at Penn State Dickinson Law.

    “Idaho is the only U.S. state where Blacks earn more than Whites and all other races.” That’s the conclusion of a new study that looks at the history of Blacks in Idaho and asks why the Blackcommunity has had such economic success here.

    The study is titled “Idaho Blacks: Quiet Economic Triumph of Enduring Champions” and it was written by Phillip Thompson, the Director of the Idaho Black History Museum and Rama Malladi, Associate Professor of Finance at California State University, Dominguez Hills. They joined Idaho Matters to discuss their findings.

    Here at Idaho Matters, it's no secret that we are true crime junkies. So when we found an all Idaho true crime podcast about Idaho murderers — we knew we had to have them on.

    The podcast is called "Ghosts and Garnets: Murder in Idaho" and it's a labor of love for two lifelong friends, who are also true crime junkies. The creators of the show, Whitney Rivera and Camden Schacher, joined us to talk about crime, murder, Idaho and more.
