Remembering A Former Boise Lawmaker, And A ‘Tripledemic’ Update
Happy Friday! Host Emma Arnold is chatting about the news of the week with freelance reporter Heath Druzin and lead producer Frankie Barnhill. We remember Boise’s Hy Kloc, a beloved former Democratic lawmaker and the son of Holocaust survivors, and share a public health PSA about COVID and flu. And Heath updates us on Idaho Republicans’ response to Donald Trump’s call to terminate the U.S. Constitution. Plus: Heath *almost* gives away his fave secret hot springs.
