Welcome to episode 82 of the Extra Credit podcast.

This week, our political reporters reflect on the legacy of former Gov. Cecil Andrus, who died Thursday. As Idaho’s only four-term governor, Andrus leaves behind a legacy of fighting for eduction and the environment. As a champion of early childhood education, Andrus fought for the Republican Legislature for years in his push to establish kindergarten in the Gem State.

Co-host Kevin Richert offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Andrus’ administration by sharing two stories from his early days covering Idaho politics.
