Utah Food Bank volunteers bring food to cars waiting in line at the food bank's mobile food pantry Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2020, in Salt Lake City, during the coronavirus pandemic.

Right after Republican Gov. Brad Little announced his decision to keep the state in stage 4 of his COVID-19 reopening plan, the Idaho Matters Reporter Roundtable is here to dissect the week's news and help us understand what it means. 

We cover $2.56M in state funding for the Idaho Food Bank to help with increased demand, in-person school reopening in Twin Falls and what it would take to fix the U.S. Postal Service(hint: Congress). 

Our panelists today: 

  • Rachel Cohen of Boise State Public Radio News
  • Mike Sharp of KIVI 6 On Your Side
  • Scott McIntosh of the Idaho Statesman 

As COVID-19 cases spread through the U.S. and Idaho, we’re committed to keeping you updated and informed. You can get updated info on cases, closures and how to stay healthy at any time on our Coronavirus news blog.

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.
Hi! I’m Gemma Gaudette, the host of the award-winning show, Idaho Matters. During the day you’ll find me researching and writing about all the fascinating topics we tackle on our show. And of course, at noon, each weekday you’ll find me live behind the microphone as Idaho Matters airs.
