Boise Flag Flop, Airline Leaves BOI for ICE, and Our Depot Live Show
The city unveiled some new flag designs, and Boiseans were not having it. Our producer Frankie Barnhill is joining host Lindsay Van Allen to break down the critiques and lessons community leaders learned from this experiment. Meanwhile, Avelo Airlines is ditching Boise flights and facing scrutiny for its work with ICE. And, choo choo! We’re gearing up for our live show at the Boise Depot next Tuesday, where we’ll find out if the future of passenger trains in Idaho is on track.
See you at our live podcast taping on Tuesday, April 15 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. as part of the City of Boise’s centennial celebration of the Depot!
