On The Thursday, March 7, 2019 Edition Of Idaho Matters

  • A reading program promises kids balloons and worms.
  • Hospitals are adding alternative birthing methods.
  • Storyfort maintains oral tradition of story telling.
  • Yoga is exercise for mind AND body.

- The CapEd Read to Rise program encourages kids to read through a school competition with a unique prize. We'll also look at a CapEd-sponsored program that has high-schoolers producing their own movie trailers. We speak with CapEd's Todd Christiansen about the programs.

Idaho Matters speaks with Catie Obosky, St. Luke’s Certified Nurse Midwife, about alternative birthing methods and the ways hospitals are expanding their approach to delivery.

- We check in with Storyfort's Christian Winn for a rundown of this year's Storyfort schedule and talk to the Boise State Public Radio voices that are participating.

- There are more than 20 yoga studios in Boise and Idaho Matters looks at the growth of this 5,000 year old practice.
