Local Elections, A Rascal Cat, and Why This Politico Is Leaving Town
The countdown to Tuesday’s midterm election is on. So in this week’s weekly news chatter episode, host Emma Arnold is talking about local races to watch with The Idaho97 Project’s Emily Walton and our lead producer Frankie Barnhill. Plus, we chat about Emily’s lost rascal cat Jack and the community effort to find him. And Emily tells us why this Election Day will be her last one in Boise for a while.
