    An hour north of the Mexico border and 30 miles from the Coachella valley lies Bombay Beach.

    The township is located on the shoreline of California’s largest lake – the Salton Sea. But the saline lake has faced similar challenges to Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Receding shorelines. Exposed lake beds. An uncertain future.

    KUER’s Saige Miller reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    ( Johns Hopkins University Press )

    This episode of Idaho Matters originally aired on April 26, 2023.

    The Idaho Matters Doctors Roundtable grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic that started just over four years ago in Idaho.

    While we still struggle with cases of COVID-19 and its variants, many are looking back to figure out what we did right and what we did wrong, with an eye toward the next global outbreak of a virus.

    Dr. David Pate, who has hosted our Doctor’s Roundtable since it began and Dr. Ted Epperly wrote a book that looks at the the pandemic and provides over 100 recommendations designed to help everyone prepare for and survive the next outbreak.

    The book is called "Preparing for the Next Global Outbreak: A Guide to Planning from the Schoolhouse to the White House" and it’s out now. Dr. Pate and Dr. Epperly joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Monday, we took a deep dive into what happens next, and now we continue our coverage of this dramatic shift in politics.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice sat down with Dr. Sam Martin, Frank and Bethine Church Endowed Chair of Public Affairs at Boise State University, to talk about how the Biden/Harris flip on the democratic ticket impacts Idaho and how the Gem State will impact the race.
