    When storyteller Arlie Sommer was young, her grandmother would regale tales of Harriet “Babe” Hanson, dubbed the “Annie Oakley of Idaho.”

    Sommer crafted a short documentary called “Idaho Babe” and it was a minor sensation at this year’s Sun Valley Film Festival. It will be showcased in a free screening at the Idaho State Archives on June 24.

    Back in January, some food bank officials started warning about the end of a COVID-era program that sent extra support to food stamp recipients. They expected a lot of people in our region to have a rough spring, and that's playing out now - especially with inflation driving food prices higher.

    KUNR's Bert Johnson reports on the impact for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    Since 2006, CATCH Idaho has been working to provide housing for families that are experiencing homelessness.

    However, when it comes to helping people get back on their feet housing is just part of the equation. Many people in these situations are also experiencing mental and physical challenges, which is why CATCH is working to connect families with the health care they need.

    Stephanie Day, the Executive Director of Catch Idaho, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this new service.

    Repair Cafés have a simple goal: pairing people and their broken household belongings with tinkerers and tools to fix them, shrinking the flow of waste to landfills.

    The idea started in Europe but has spread to the U.S. and cafés are starting to pop up in the American West. Boise just had its first, and the Mountain West News Bureau’s Murphy Woodhouse went to check it out.

    You’ve heard of road rage, but have you ever had an emotional reaction to losing a parking spot? Parking can evoke a visceral reaction in ordinary people, despite the fact there is more housing for each car in the United States than there is housing for each person.

    This is why the New York Times bestseller, "Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World" is such a must-read. Author Henry Grabar is a staff writer at Slate and he took a deep dive into our love-hate relationship with parking.

    He sat down with Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about his research and how there’s a tangible shift in how more cities are looking at parking for their future plans.
