Troy Oppie
Host/ReporterI'm your local host for NPR's All Things Considered, 3-6 p.m. weekday afternoons. You can also hear some of my reporting during Morning Edition and Idaho Matters.
When I'm not in the studio, I'm probably home cooking, or maybe in the garage brewing some beer – using the hops I grow in my backyard. Well, that's what I used to do, anyway. Most of real life these days involves activities for my two girls, and trying to complete the many projects around the house in as few trips to the home center as possible. Shout-out to 'This Old House' on PBS and youtube searches.
