    The history of LGBTQ+ in Idaho Oct 04, 2022
    Show notes

    When you think of the history of LGBTQ+ Idahoans, often the first, and only thing that comes to mind is the dark chapter in the city’s history known as the “Boys of Boise.”

    Back in the 1950s, this McCarthy-era investigation into an alleged ‘homosexual underground’ in Boise, stained the city’s history and too often overshadows the successes and accomplishments of the community today.

    Dr. Lisa McClain, professor of history and gender studies at Boise State University, and graduate student Rachel Taylor have been moving past the Boys of Boise controversy to look not only at successes but how religion and rural Idaho fit into the LGBTQ+ community in the Gem State.

    They’ll be speaking at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State on Thursday.

    Inflation and your pocketbook Oct 04, 2022

    Over the summer, inflation reached a 40-year-high in the U.S. and as the rate of inflation continues to go up, so do prices at the grocery store and for other day-to-day staples.

    Experts at the Federal Reserve and elsewhere are trying to bring that rate down.

    Mary C. Daly is the President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and part of her job is helping to set America's monetary policy.

    Over the last four years on the job, Daly has been working to connect economic principles to concerns in the real-world.

    She dropped by Boise State University for a talk last week and to chat with folks in Idaho and she sat down with Idaho Matters to talk about inflation and her trip to the Gem State.

    Have you ever lost something in your backyard? A coffee cup? A child’s toy?

    Decades later, the things left behind in a backyard can tell archeologists a lot about who lived there and the image they wanted to project to the world.

    That’s what Dr. William White found when he started digging up backyards in 2015 in Boise’s River Street neighborhood, an area where African Americans and immigrants were forced to live more than 100 years ago.

    Dr. White is an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley and the author of the forthcoming book, “Segregation Made Them Neighbors: An Archaeology of Racialization in Boise, Idaho.”

    He’ll be talking about his research at Boise’s Fettuccine Forum on Oct. 6.

    Idaho Matters has launched a new Elections 2022 project here at Boise State Public Radio – we want to answer your questions about voting in the upcoming midterm elections.

    This project is part of the work of America Amplified - an initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to support community engagement journalism in public media.

    We’ll be answering your questions each Tuesday on Idaho Matters.

    To help us answer this week’s question we’ve invited Rachel Bjornestad, Public Information Officer and Ryan Head, the Deputy Director of Development and Technical Services at the Ada County Highway District to tell us where you can, and cannot, put campaign signs.

    We want to answer your questions about voting in the upcoming midterm elections. Do you know where to vote? How to vote? What are the deadlines and what has changed since the last election? Text "Boise State PR" to 855-670-1777 and follow the prompts.

    Idaho lawmaker discusses abortion policy following University of Idaho memo Sep 29, 2022
    Show notes

    On Tuesday, the White House called Idaho's abortion policies ”extreme and backwards."

    The words came after the University of Idaho sent an email to its employees that said the use of public funds to promote abortions is not allowed under Idaho law and employees that violate that law could face a felony conviction. Boise State University also told faculty members earlier this month that they could face felony charges if they violate the law.

    Sen. Melissa Wintrow (D-Boise), who has taught at Boise State and who helped create an advocacy program to support victims of sexual violence, joins Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Treasure Valley faces veterinarian shortage Sep 29, 2022

    ( Hannah Gardoski)

    If you've had to make a medical appointment for your pet lately, you may have noticed that it's getting harder and taking longer to get treatment.

    It’s not a fluke, there is a shortage of veterinarians around the country and it's getting worse. The Atlantic wrote this summer that by 2030, the U.S. will need 41,000 more vets than we have now. That can make spaying or neutering your pet a bigger challenge and a new study says fewer pets are getting fixed, which is leading to more dogs and cats at some animal shelters.

    Dr. Jeff Rosenthal, CEO of the Idaho Humane Society in Boise, joins Idaho Matters to talk about the shortage of veterinarians.

    The world is a different place than it was two and a half years ago.

    Before we knew the term COVID-19, the possibility of a global pandemic seemed like the stuff of Hollywood movies, not something we'd live through or for many, not survive. Now as we live with the sorrow and the change the pandemic brought, we ask, has it taught us anything?

    Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and a current member of Idaho's Coronavirus Task Force, joins Idaho Matters to answer this question.
