Living & Thriving in Idaho with Monica Church

Monica Church is a District 19 Representative and multi-generation Idahoan. We spoke extensively about what it takes to live and thrive in Idaho, and how there is a disconnect between individuals like myself who have moved from other states to the great state of Idaho and those that have been here for some time. This is going to be one of the greatest chasms that we, as a state, have to bridge together as we’re all Americans and find ourselves not understanding each other but occupying the same great land.

The Heart of a Podcast with Bam

Bam is the host of the Wild Chaos Podcast, a vet, and an entrepreneur. He has gone through the crucible of getting a show off the ground in a way very few people have. It was wonderful to speak with him about what that is like as so many people want to have a show but just do not understand what it takes to make it a reality. I greatly appreciate him and his production.

The Heart of an Idaho Farmer with Bryan Searle

Bryan Searle is the president of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation. As a lifelong farmer, he has gone through the entire range of life experiences that farming offers. The love, the loss, the joy, and the misery that are all offered by this way of life are very well known to him. The reality of our food production system is no longer common knowledge to the average Idahoan and American, so hearing and understanding his story is crucial to understanding and preserving our way of life.

Defending Medications for Idaho Mothers with Dr. Megan Kasper

Dr. Megan Kasper is a pro-life OB/GYN in Nampa, and she agreed to come in and explain why two medications that have come under fire should not be removed from the toolbox of doctors. The two medications in question are used to stop bleeding postpartum as well as help mothers who have had a failed pregnancy and are carrying a deceased fetus in their uterus. Although these two drugs have very clear, accepted uses, they are also used in other states in chemical pregnancy terminations. Elective pregnancy terminations are already illegal in the state of Idaho, and therefore the use of these drugs to that end is also already illegal. Making the drugs illegal categorically only reduces options for medical practitioners in procedures that are legal and necessary and makes mothers’ lives more difficult and dangerous. The Ranch Podcast Legislative Session episodes are supported by Truth In Media Foundation, a non-profit media organization committed to unbiased, Idaho focused media. www.theRanchPodcast.orgThe Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho.

Saving Idaho's Cloud Seeding & Chickens with Tammy Nichols

Tammy Nichols is the District 10 Senator and also the chairwoman for the Senate Ag. Committee. She has been working on several crucial bills for Idahoans, specifically one that bans weather modification and another that works to save our cloud seeding program through transparency and reporting. Idaho’s Ag sector fundamentally operates on water supply, and the cloud seeding program in Idaho not only supplies that crucial ingredient, but it also provides clean electricity, and Sen. Nichols is one of the industry champions working to secure this for Idaho. She is also running a bill to offer every day Idahoans a little more food security with a chicken bill. She is doing a lot!

Fire Preparation in Idaho with Dustin Miller

Dustin Miller is the Director of the Department of Lands in Idaho. Idaho has been working closely with many state and federal agencies to combat wildfires within our state and also prepare for future fires. The Governor’s budget included a 60 million dollar line item to replenish what we spent fighting fires previously and a 40 million dollar line item for ongoing, recurring expenses with fires so Idahoans do not get caught unprepared.

Fixing Idaho Residency and Medical Ed. Options with Susie Keller

Susie Keller is the CEO of the Idaho Medical Association, the largest association in the state representing physicians and medical practitioners. Idaho has consistently ranked lower in the country for physician to patient ratios and also struggles attracting medical professionals in a wide variety of specialities. These issues have many causes, but part of the problem is lack of residency programs and education opportunities. Susie and IMA have been working extremely hard to improve both of these issues and provide Idaho with an abundance of medical options. It’s a long road, but they’re making substantial progress.
