Hannah Gardoski
Idaho Matters Assistant ProducerHi, my name is Hannah and I’m the assistant producer for the Idaho Matters show here at BSPR.
My job consists of a lot of things that I love, from editing to writing to meeting new people, but my favorite part has to be the fact that airing the show is kind of what I imagine flying the Millennium Falcon might feel like. There’s lots of buttons and levers and it's really important that you don’t press or pull the wrong one. Thankfully, I’ve managed to stay out of trouble and galactic space, so far.
When I’m not in the studio you can find me in a bookstore, taking pictures of my dog or making lame Star Wars references.
