Good story from @EmmaEpperly about one of the more interesting 2026 races in the Idaho legislature.
For the fourth time since 2018, Idaho’s northernmost voters will choose between incumbent Sen. Jim Woodward and Scott Herndon.

The Dodgers are finding out what the @Mariners already know. The Blue Jays are a pretty good offensive team. This series could go seven games just as the ALCS did.
We know some people will be upset because of the change. I think some people will be delighted. You can read more on our FAQ page: spokanepublicradio.org/.../2…. (4/4)
KSFC becomes classical 24/7, no news interruptions. KPBZ goes from an eclectic spoken word format to all jazz, in anticipation that the Spokane area's all-jazz station, KEWU, moves to a different format. (3/several)
News is public radio's most popular format. We determined that we need to put that on the frequency that reaches the most people. KPBX becomes all-news with many NPR and network programs, plus local news, including our Inland Journal public affairs program. (2/several)
I'm honored to say that I'll be serving for the next year as president of the board of @PMJAtweets. It will be an interesting year with all that's going on in public media land. This requires us to think a bit differently about how we serve listeners.
Kelly McBride from @Poynter gave us a great path to follow in her speech at our recent conference in Kansas City. The bottom line: how do we become more essential to our listeners and viewers? Here's a path if you want to read/listen to her speech: lnkd.in/gshPWZ7c.
I'm looking to hire a new reporter for the @spokanepubradio newsroom. If you're interested, check out the job description: spokanepublicradio.org/2025-….

Pictures of mud, debris and flooding on SR 231. This is just a couple spots of MANY where there are issues along SR 231 that has caused the road to close.

Yikes. Looks like a good day to stay home.
This is another location of debris/flooding on SR 231. Here a small stream has formed over the top of the roadway due to significant rain and snowmelt.
Adding to the complexity is thick fog this morning. Slow down, stay alert and drive for conditions. SR 231 remains CLOSED.

The WSU @MurrowCollege administers a great program that places young journalists in local newsrooms in Washington. We're lucky to share @itsmonicarrillo with the @SpokesmanReview. She's part of this great explanatory video: youtube.com/watch?v=Ed4iYeqF…. @spokanepubradio
It's always interesting to see which works of music, literature, etc. enter the public domain. Here are the latest: web.law.duke.edu/cspd/public…

I'm interested in hearing what students, parents and teachers think about @spokaneschools cell phone restrictions. If you know someone who might be open to an interview, please DM their contact info and I'll follow up. Thanks! @spokanepubradio
Congrats to the Inland Northwest athletes competing at the #Paralympics2024 games, including Taylor Swanson from Spokane, who just won her heat in the T37 100-meter dash a few minutes ago. She'll go for gold tomorrow. @spokanepubradio
