Idaho Matters HostHi! I’m Gemma Gaudette, the host of the award-winning show, Idaho Matters. During the day you’ll find me researching and writing about all the fascinating topics we tackle on our show. And of course, at noon, each weekday you’ll find me live behind the microphone as Idaho Matters airs.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me at basketball and football practices for my two boys, volunteering at their school, or getting a workout in ... and if there’s time left over, I might just crack open one of the many books sitting on my nightstand.
I’m married to a native Boisean who loves to travel as much as I do, so when you don’t hear me on the air, it’s likely that my family and I are off on a new adventure.
