    Dry January, or giving up alcohol for the month, is a huge trend that many people undertake at the start of every year. In fact, according to health experts, “sober curious” is likely to be one of the top health and wellness trends of 2024.

    Bestselling author of “This Naked Mind,” Annie Grace joined Idaho Matters to talk about what it means to be sober curious.

    Conservation groups are trying to stop wolf trapping in Idaho, saying the practice threatens endangered grizzly bears.

    Thirteen groups filed a lawsuit saying traps and snares for wolves could also kill grizzlies and they asked a federal judge last week to stop the practice when bears are not hibernating.

    With around 80 of the protected bears in Idaho, according to the Forest Service, conservationists say losing even one of the grizzlies to a wolf trap could hurt their recovery.

    Suzanne Asha Stone, with the International Wildlife Coexistence Network, and Carter Niemeyer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service retired Wolf Recovery Coordinator for the State of Idaho, joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    Serving second chances: that's the mantra of Life's Kitchen, a nonprofit that has taught culinary and life skills to over 900 young adults over the past two decades.

    Along with 575,000 hours of job training in the kitchen, Life's Kitchen also cooks meals in their restaurant for more than one million people in need.

    The organization has been recognized by the Jacques Pépin Foundation, which was created by this Master Chef to support "free culinary and life skills training" through grants to community organization around the country.

    Tammy Johnson, Executive Director of Life's Kitchen, joined Idaho Matters to talk more!

    You’ve seen them around town. They’re called "mobile bars" and they show up at special events providing alcohol at social gatherings and celebrations.

    It's a growing industry and these bars are becoming more and more popular. But they come with special laws that many folks may not know about and Idaho's Bureau of Alcohol Beverage Control is hoping to change that.

    Captain Rocky Gripton, Bureau Chief of the Idaho State Police ABC Bureau joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    SCOTUS weighs in on Idaho's abortion ban Jan 08, 2024

    On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Idaho to enforce our state’s abortion ban, even in medical emergencies, while a legal fight continues.

    The justices said they will hear arguments in April and they put a hold on a lower court ruling that had blocked the Idaho law in hospital emergencies based on a lawsuit filed by the Biden Administration where it argued that hospitals that receive Medicare funds are required by federal law to provide emergency care, which could potentially include abortion, no matter if there’s a state law banning abortion.

    Joining Idaho Matters to help us understand this decision, as well as the implications for doctors and women in Idaho, are McKay Cunningham, Director, On-Campus Experiential Learning at the College of Idaho and Dr. Sara Thomson, a local OBGYN.

    Dr. Ethan Sims, St. Luke’s Medical Director of Sustainability, and Mike Smith, CEO and Founder of Aclymate, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    A new year means a new Idaho Legislative Session where a group of 105 legislators will make decisions that will affect every aspect of life in the Gem State.

    From taxes to education to Medicaid to housing to abortion - lawmakers are planning bills and laws that will have a direct impact on our daily life. The session starts Monday, Jan. 8, and every year we get an idea of the top priorities in both parties at the annual Idaho Press Club’s Legislative Preview.

    Our political reporter James Dawson joined Idaho Matters to let us know what’s on the minds of the dominant GOP Party, the minority Democrats and Idaho Governor Brad Little.
