On The Friday, July 19, 2019 Edition Of Idaho Matters

  • Our Reporter Roundtable rounds up the news of the week.
  • National Ice Cream Day helps Idaho Foodbank.

-It’s Friday and time for our Reporter Roundtable, where we get you up to date on all the news that made headlines around our region. Joining Gemma Gaudette this week are Betsy Russellwith the Idaho Press, Mike Sharp from KIVI Six On Your Side Television, and George Prentice with Boise State Public Radio.

-Summer means ice cream and the Idaho Foodbank has a way to indulge your sweet tooth AND help folks in need. In the winter, the Foodbank's Empty Bowls event puts hot soup in a handmade bowl to raise money. The 3rd Annual Summer Empty Bowls fills those bowls with ice cream for a donation as the Foodbank tries to meet its goal of 25,000 meals for Idahoans this summer.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.

You make stories like this possible.

The biggest portion of Boise State Public Radio's funding comes from readers like you who value fact-based journalism and trustworthy information.
