    Author Kirk Wallace is out with a new book and the story sounds like the plot to a great whodunit movie, but here's the twist: it's true! He joined Idaho Matters to talk more about The Fisherman and The Dragon.

    A look at YIMBY and Boise rezoning Aug 11, 2022
    Show notes
    (Joshua Lindgren - BSPR)

    The city of Boise is rewriting its zoning code at a time when its population has exploded, due in part to millennials, many of whom don’t want a car or a single family home. That’s according to Max Holleran, author of Yes to the City: Millennials and the Fight for Affordable Housing.

    Holleran sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about some friction to YIMBYism or ‘yes in my backyard’ and how more cities like Boise are rethinking density. And we talk with Tim Keane, Boise's new Director of Planning and Development Services about the role YIMBY is playing in Boise's re-write of zoning codes.

    We’ve talked a lot about abortion laws, lawsuits and other legal actions.

    For clinics like the Idaho Urologic Institute however, the response has been a little different.

    Their doctors have seen a sharp increase in the number of men requesting information on vasectomies. They’ve seen a 60 percent increase in the number of men calling to consider scheduling an appointment.

    Dr. Nicholas Kuntz, a board certified urologist at the institute, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the phenomenon.

    It’s that time of year again, time for the annual Boise Goat Head Fest! If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a pedal-powered wonderfully-weird celebration taking place in downtown Boise on August 27th.

    Executive Director of the Boise Bicycle Project, Jimmy Halliburton, and Foothills Restoration Specialist with Boise Parks and Recreation, Martha Brabec, join Idaho Matters to talk more about the upcoming event.

    The spud state has a potato shortage Aug 10, 2022
    Show notes

    Idaho has a potato shortage.

    That's right, the state known for its famous potatoes doesn’t have any spuds to spare. Normally Idaho produces almost one third of all U.S. potatoes, but this summer it's hard to find the familiar spud in your local grocery store.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice found that out the hard way when he went shopping for dinner.

    Has like the United States has hit a COVID- 19 plateau?

    Health experts say the current status of the coronavirus is a dramatic improvement compared to last winter, when there were four times as many hospitalizations and nearly six times as many deaths at the peak of the first Omicron wave.

    Meanwhile, monkeypox continues to spread across the globe. Last week U.S. Health and Human Services declared Mmonkeypox a public health emergency in America.

    As of yesterday 9,492 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with monkeypox, including eight in Idaho, and 600,000 doses of the vaccine have gone out to states. However, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says as many as 1.7 million people may be at high risk for contracting monkeypox. So, as NPR reports, federal officials are stretching the supply of the vaccine as much as possible.

    Joining Idaho Matters to answer your questions about COVID-19 and monkeypox is Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System and a current member of the Idaho Coronavirus Task Force.

    If you live in Boise, you may have seen more dandelions and clover in your neighborhood park over the last three years.

    That’s actually by design. Boise Parks and Recreation is wrapping up a pilot program to reduce pesticide use in the city’s parks.

    The city says less pesticide means more protection for our groundwater. It’s better for pollinators and increases plant biodiversity, while protecting human health.

    Daniel Roop, the Sustainability Specialist with the Boise Parks and Recreation Department, joins Idaho Matters to talk about the program and about how dandelions are not the devil incarnate.

    After hearing the segment one Boise State Public Radio listener had some feedback.

    How does Idaho investigate claims of discrimination?

    Answering that question led Idaho Business Review reporter Caite Clark to profile the Idaho Human Rights Commission, which has been around since 1969 when the Idaho Legislature created the independent state agency.

    She joins Idaho Matters for a deep dive into the IHRC.

    A new program is incorporating indigenous culture into STEM curriculum Aug 09, 2022

    A new program focused on STEM curriculum for grades k-12 is partnering with four Native American tribes to incorporate indigenous knowledge and practices into classroom learning.

    The project is led by a team at the University of Idaho and based on an important premise: that our relationship with our environment and ecosystem is integral to how we understand the world around us.

    By acknowledging the absence of indigenous principles in current education courses, the program hopes to bridge gaps and provide support for Native American youth who might be interested in working in an interdisciplinary field.

    Project leader and U of I Associate Professor in the College of Education, Health and Human Sciences, Dr Vanessa Anthony-Stevens and Shoshone-Bannock Fisheries Research biologist Dr. Sammy Matsaw joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the program.
