    Show notes
    (Sun Valley Museum of Art)

    Have you ever wondered if there's a connection between vintage signs and death masks?

    Perhaps not, but that's exactly the kind of question that the Sun Valley Museum of Art is encouraging you to ask in their upcoming Mashup. The special lecture series is a partnership between the museum and Boise State's College of Innovation and Design.

    Jen Schneider, Boise State's Associate Dean of the College of Innovation and Design, joined Idaho Matters to give us a preview.

    The Idaho Legislature has more to do this year and won’t go home on time, folks turned out this week to testify before a senate committee about state funding for school buildings, there’s new research “shaking” up what we knew about a 2020 earthquake and a big road project is on the horizon in the Treasure Valley.

    It’s Friday, which means it's time for our Reporter Roundtable when Idaho Matters gets you up to date on all the news that made headlines this past week.

    One out of every four people in Idaho is a family caregiver. That’s according to the Idaho Caregiver Alliance, which provides support to these thousands of people who take care of family members who can no longer take care of themselves.

    They are husbands and wives taking care of sick spouses, adult children taking care of aging parents, and moms and dads taking care of children with sometimes severe medical conditions. They are unpaid, often overworked and frequently overwhelmed by the day-to-day task of caring for the people they love.

    Dr. Sarah Toevs is director of the alliance and directs the interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Aging at Boise State University. She joins Idaho Matters to talk about the role of caregivers and about the alliance’s 13th annual conference which is set for this Saturday.

    Have questions about cider? You'll want to ask Idaho's first pommelier Mar 07, 2024
    Show notes

    Everyone knows if you’re looking for advice on wine, you’ll want to ask a sommelier, but if you’re wondering about cider, that’s a job for a pommelier.

    Now, if you’re not familiar with this term, you’re not alone. There are only 97 certified pommeliers in the United States, and now, thanks to Molly Leadbetter, Idaho is home to one of them.

    She’s the owner of Meriwether Cider Company and recently passed the rigorous testing required to become a cider expert, and she joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the milestone.

    It's that time of year again - Oscar time! We’ve got some predictions about who might go home with a golden statuette this year plus we’ll listen back to some of Oscar's more unusual hosts, some great speeches and some hilarious moments from Oscars past.

    Here to help us figure out “What to Watch” on Oscar night is our resident movie critic and Morning Edition host George Prentice who recently rubbed shoulders with, and got a hug from, Annette Bening!

    While debate continues over whether or not to remove the four lower Snake River dams to help fish, like endangered salmon, in other places, dams are already coming down for a variety of reasons.

    In 2022, 65 dams were dismantled in the U.S., and work continues on taking out the dam system on the Klamath River in Eastern Oregon.

    There’s a lot that goes into removing a dam, from the why to the how, as Dr. Steve Clayton can tell you. He’s the senior project manager with Jacobs Engineering Group, and he’s worked on dam removal projects in places like New York and California. He’s speaking to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State on Thursday, and joined Idaho Matters for a preview.

    Take a look around you. What do you see? Is anything made of plastic? Water bottles, food wrap, your mayo bottle - what kind of container holds your milk? What about your orange juice, butter, bread and frozen veggies?

    Plastic is everywhere, and it’s leaking into our favorite foods. According to Consumer Reports, the newest issue of the magazine says we’re eating too much plastic, and it’s coming from places we never thought of.

    Dr. James Rogers is Director of Food Safety Research and Testing at Consumer Reports, and he sat down with our Morning Edition host George Prentice for a frank discussion about plastic in our food.

    The U.S. Supreme Court released a unanimous decision this week that said Colorado could not keep former President Donald Trump off of the state’s primary ballot.

    Meanwhile, the court has not yet ruled on a case that will decide if Trump has immunity for any of his actions on January 6, 2021.

    Dr. David Adler studies constitutional law and has been watching the cases against Trump closely. He’s the president of the Alturas Institute and is hosting another of his Constitutional Conversations this Thursday at Boise State’s Yanke Center. He joined Idaho Matters to talk more about his upcoming lecture.
