Ally Audio: The Way Too Early Look at 2026 Races

On this week’s show, Noah and Scott talk about some of the local and state races that are starting to form in Nevada, the state of public media in the Silver State, and then at the role of the Federal Reserve and its dual mandate to control unemployment and inflation.

We also talk about Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve's new sunscreen company, Spooge.

This show is made possible by Press Forward, a national coalition investing more than $500 million to strengthen local newsrooms and close longstanding gaps in journalism coverage.

And from our readers and listeners at sierranevadaally.org.

Music for the show comes from local band, People with Bodies.
