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.
If you have a suggestion for an Idaho Matters segment, please email idahomatters@boisestate.edu.

When it comes to making change, art is one of the most powerful tools we have. It has the ability to start conversations, provide new perspectives and share stories in an accessible way. Which is exactly what more than 100 people are doing as part of the "Through Positive Eyes" project, a wide-ranging collaboration that uses photography, video and personal interviews to share the realities of those living with HIV and AIDS in order to combat stigma around the disease.

When it comes to managing noxious weeds, it can be a time-consuming and sometimes hazardous job. Which is why officials over in Fremount County are taking a new approach, choosing to tackle the invasive plants from the sky instead of the ground.
