    Many of the best herding dogs in North America were in our region recently for the National Sheepdog Final. The competitors - all border collies - worked with their handlers to herd some stubborn sheep.

    Aspen Public Radio's Caroline Llanes has this report for the Mountain West News Bureau.

    As the District of Idaho’s COVID-19 Fraud Task Force looks back on its first year of operation, including a dozen successful prosecutions, the man in charge says we can expect a good many more charges against what they call “fraudsters.”

    Josh Hurwit is the U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho and he sat down with Morning Edition host George Prentice to talk about COVID-19 fraud in Idaho.

    Imagine stepping outside your front door and coming face-to-face with a giant saber-toothed cat or driving to work and having to dodge a huge mammoth blocking traffic on way.

    It wasn’t that long ago that giant cats, mammoths, huge bears - even a lumbering two-ton ground sloth called Idaho home. Those animals are gone now, but they had an impact on our ecosystem that lasts today. And studying them could give us clues about how our present day ecosystem works.

    Dr. Eric Yensen, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the College of Idaho, joined Idaho Matters to tell us more.

    Entertain Weekly writes, "If you're looking for an Indiana Jones meets enemies-to-lovers meets supernatural rom-com, then this is the book for you." We had to find out more about this book so Idaho Matters invited Danan to chat more.

    Supporting the need for Emergency Medical Services in Idaho's backcountry Oct 25, 2023

    When it comes to Idaho's rural communities, access to Emergency Medical Services can be limited.

    That's due in part to the fact that EMS is not considered an essential service in the Gem State. Funding and staffing issues also pose obstacles, often leaving patients in these areas with longer wait times and a reduced quality of care - putting the responsibility of these services back on rural communities.

    To help tackle these issues, Saint Alphonsus holds an Annual Ski and Mountain Trauma Conference.

    Dr. Parker Fillmore, the Saint Alphonsus Trauma Medical Director and Lance Taysom, a flight nurse and paramedic with Air Idaho Rescue in Pocatello joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the need in these communities and the importance of medical training.

    Why is public radio music important? Oct 25, 2023

    If you listen to other radio stations, you'll often hear the same few songs over and over - with the same line up day to day.

    But on public radio you can hear a broad range of diverse sounds and styles from classical to blues to the Grateful Dead. And what better day to celebrate this variety then on Public Radio Music Day!

    Carl Scheider is the host of Private Idaho, which airs Saturdays on our sister station KBSU FM and we invited him on Idaho Matters to talk about all things music.

    The land of Owyhee County has a rich history, attracting many groups in pursuit of different opportunities.

    From mining to ranching to military use to conservation feuds - the territory is home to countless stories and claims, each one shaping the identity of the region and the way we view it.

    Which is exactly what Dr. John Bieter explores in his book, "Showdown in the Big Quiet: Land, Myth, and Government in the American West." He'll be holding a lecture on the history of this area on Thursday, October 26th with Osher's Lifelong Learning Institute at Boise State University and he joined Idaho Matters to talk more.
