In the summer of 2020, and in collaboration with Idaho State University’s Sustainability Club, PRC launched Sustainable Idaho, a new weekly radio show on our local National Public Radio affiliate station, KISU. The show explores a wide range of locally important sustainability topics. Our hosts consider three key pillars of sustainability: the economic, societal, and environmental aspects and why these matter to Idahoans. Topics have ranged from an interview with Representative Mike Simpson about keeping salmon from going extinct to the Shoshone/Bannock Tribes recent litigation and win concerning FMC’s Superfund Site.
Sustainable Idaho is funded in part by the Idaho State University Center for Ecological Research and Education and the Office for Research through the ISU Career Path Internship program. ISU Juniors, Seniors and Graduate students with an interest in learning about producing, interviewing and sound editing for radio journalism are encouraged to apply to become a host.
