Episode 98: Yes, there are elections in Idaho worth watching

The presidential election overshadows everything else.

But in Idaho, some important and interesting elections lurk under the surface. The heated debate over the Proposition 1 election overhaul initiative will come to a head. Races in Idaho’s few swing legislative districts could have outsized influence over the makeup and tone of the 2025 Legislature.

To sort it all out, Kevin Richert and Ryan Suppe sit down with Clark Corbin of the Idaho Capital Sun and Melissa Davlin of Idaho Public Television’s “Idaho Reports.”

Beyond Go-On

Most of Idaho’s high school graduates aren’t going to college — at least not immediately. They’re taking different paths, breaking stigmas and challenging the narrative that a four-year degree is the golden ticket to success. Our four-story series breaks down the data, and unveils what they are doing after high school — and why it isn’t college.

Favorite Teachers series

Who’s your favorite teacher? Nearly everyone has an answer to that question, because every year, and in every generation, teachers make a lifelong impact.

Somewhere in Idaho, even as you read this, an English teacher is helping a student feel valued when no one else can. A science teacher is stoking the curiosity of a future biologist. A choir teacher is encouraging a student to use their voice proudly, even when silence seems safer.

Our new, ongoing series will feature Idaho’s favorite teachers.

If you went to school in Idaho and have a teacher you’d like us to recognize, whether still in the classroom or retired, contact editor Jennifer Swindell, [email protected]. We’re looking forward to sharing your stories.
