    In 1946, six nuns from Kentucky made a journey to one of the poorest states in India to start a hospital and train women to become nurses.

    This never before told story is being memorialized in a new book, “Sisters of Mokama.”

    The book’s author, who is also the senior opinion editor at the New York Times, Jyoti Thottam joins Idaho Matters to talk more about her book.

    Opera Idaho is continuing its 49th season with a modern American piece, “Dead Man Walking.”

    It’s based on Sister Helen Prejean's acclaimed 1993 memoir of the same name, which tells of her time working with death row inmates at the Louisiana State Penitentiary.

    Conductor Sara Jobin and general director Mark Junkert join Idaho Matters to talk more about the upcoming performance.

    This week a federal judge struck down the Biden administration mask mandate for planes, buses, and other public transit.

    So far, six major airlines have all made masks optional. This has left many people confused and worried about what to do while flying on a plane.

    Joining Idaho Matters to help sort out the confusion is Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St Luke’s Health System and current member of the Idaho coronavirus task force.

    Back in 1955, one of the darkest chapters in Boise’s history unfolded - 16 men were arrested and 1,500 people were questioned in what became known as the “Boys of Boise” scandal.

    Fast forward to today, where an investigation into Boise's “homesexual situation” has been turned into…a musical. That’s right…a musical!

    “The Show on the Roof” is playing now at the Boise Contemporary Theater and the creative team behind it - Tom Ford and Alex Syiek join Gemma talk about the inspiration behind the musical.

    We talk a lot about the problems facing our planet - both big and small - but too often we don’t spend time trying to solve those problems.

    Students at West Middle School decided to change that by taking an everyday problem and designing a solution.

    Two teams of students are getting $2,500 in cash to build their solutions, after winning the Ciena Solutions Challenge which uses the United Nations sustainability principles to encourage kids to build a better world.

    Joining Gemma are two students, Angelina and Eadyn and their math teacher Maddie Dew.

    North Idaho College is in the middle of a controversy, after the president was fired, board members resigned, and the school’s accreditation is in limbo.

    The changes came to light when one man, who sat on the board of trustees for eight years, was re-elected to a third four-year-term in November 2020.

    IdahoEdNews.com calls him a quote “polarizing presence at the core of NIC’s dysfunction.”

    Kevin Richert, senior reporter and blogger with IdahoEdNews.com has been following this story and joins Gemma with the latest.

    Boise hearings on Interfaith Sanctuary spark conversation on housing and homelessness Apr 18, 2022

    It was over a year ago in January of 2021 when officials at Interfaith Sanctuary homeless shelter in downtown Boise said they were buying a building on State Street.

    The plan was to move Interfaith to the much bigger building and double the shelter’s ability to serve people experiencing homelessness.

    Fast forward to four oclock on Monday when the Boise City Council starts five days of live testimony - both for and against - Interfaith’s move and then takes a vote that will decide the shelter’s future…one way or another.

    Gemma takes a deep dive into the problem of housing and homelessness in Boise and other areas of Idaho. She also looks at the housing crunch outside Idaho as too many are “Priced Out” of a place to live.

    Cellist Juliana Soltis is somewhat of a rebel.

    In her music she uses ‘Historical Ornamentation,’ improvising around classics written for the cello by composers like Johann Bach. She believes the notes that Bach wrote are not static instructions, but living works of art.

    Juliana joins Idaho Matters to demonstrate exactly what this sounds like and talk about what inspired her to want to play.
