lively episode, kicking off with the hosts Neal Larson and Julie Mason celebrating a significant win for parental choice in Idaho: the Idaho Supreme Court's unanimous decision to uphold House Bill 93. This bill, which provides up to $5,000 per child (or $7,500 for special needs) in refundable tax credits for education options outside traditional public schools, survived a lawsuit that the hosts argue relied on debunked constitutional arguments and manufactured urgency. They highlight how this ruling is a victory for families, shifting the education paradigm to prioritize children over institutional norms and demonstrating a clear desire from parents for diverse learning choices. We also hear an update from Representative Barbara Ehardt on the celebratory mood at the Capitol, the progress of an anti-discrimination ordinance, and a spirited debate on the contentious Article V Convention of States, where lawmakers and callers weigh in on its merits and risks.

Amidst the political discussions, the show brought in some welcome variety with local artist Corwin Belnap, who not only performed a beautiful rendition of "To Make You Feel My Love" but also shared insights into his new podcast, "Saints in the Spotlight," which explores the experiences of Christians in the entertainment industry. The episode also sprinkled in lighthearted Super Bowl predictions from listeners, a quick update on other news like the Benghazi architect's apprehension, and a bit of fun banter about music choices and upcoming weekend plans. It was a packed show, balancing serious policy wins and legislative debates with engaging guest segments and listener interaction, all with a distinct local Idaho focus.
