Spy balloons, the war in Ukraine and trade tensions are all issues that have relations between China and the U.S. at a critical point.

Dr. Jack Marr is a clinical associate professor of International Business and the Global Programs Director of Boise State’s College of Business and Economics. He sat down with our George Prentice to talk about trade relations with China and Idaho's role in it.

When people ask me, “What time do you start Morning Edition?” my go-to answer is, “Don’t worry. No matter what time you get up, we’re on the job.”
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.
