Episode 21: The big topics in rural Idaho (and K-12 isn’t one of them)

This week, Kevin Richert sits down with “Idaho Reports” producer Seth Ogilvie to talk about rural economics and rural politics — and how it all intersects with Idaho K-12 policy.

Seth has been on the road this spring, working in Orofino, Payette and Rexburg to get a gauge on the dialogue this primary season. The takeaway: People are talking a lot about jobs, but they aren’t talking much about K-12.

To hear Kevin and Seth talk about that — and what it might mean — listen below:
