  • Students and veterans demand full withdrawal from Iraq.
  • Accelerating sports injury recovery.
  • Treasure Valley students enter NPR's Student Podcast Challenge.

- Pryce Robinson and Joe Goode are Boise State University students, Dan McKnight is a veteran who saw the war in Afghanistan from the inside. They are all opposed to continued American military presence in Iraq, Syria, Yeman and Afghanistan and they join Idaho Matters to talk about the student/veteran anti-war movement of the 21st century.

- Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is a new recovery treatment for muscle injuries that is showing promise in accelerating the healing process without losing muscle mass. We'll talk with Heather Lopez and physical therapist Teri Pietz of the St. Luke's Sports Medicine Program about this new therapy.

- A sixth grade class at Washington Elementary has recorded an entry for NPR's Student Podcast Challenge. The theme of their podcast is "More Than Just Potatoes" and on Thursday's Idaho Matters, we meet these budding podcasters.
