AI is everywhere and its influence is growing daily but who gets to say how it's used in the Gem State?

Rhode Island. The brief story of the gem state.Welcome, traveler, to the enchanting shores of Rhode Island—a place so small it can be crossed in under an hour, yet so rich in story that it feels boundless. Tucked into the heart of New England, this coastal gem shimmers with history, whispers of rebellion, and the quiet hum of the Atlantic against its rocky shores. Here, every street, every harbor, every breeze seems to carry a tale waiting to be told.Long before the nation itself was imagined, a man named Roger Williams arrived in 1636, weary yet resolute. Banished from neighboring colonies for his radical beliefs, he sought not power, but freedom—the freedom to think, to worship, to live without fear of persecution. And so, on the banks of what would become Providence, he built a refuge unlike any other. It was a bold experiment, a sanctuary of tolerance in a rigid world. In that moment, Rhode Island became more than a place—it became an idea.The sea, ever-present and ever-inviting, shaped the colony's destiny. Ships carved paths across distant waters, carrying goods, stories, and fortunes. In time, Newport rose like a jewel along the coast, its harbor bustling with trade and ambition. It became one of the wealthiest ports in early America, though its prosperity was intertwined with the darker currents of the triangular trade. Still, the echoes of that era linger in the creak of old docks and the salt-stained air.Yet Rhode Island was never content to simply follow—it resisted. In 1772, under a moonlit sky, colonists set fire to a British customs schooner in what became known as the Gaspee Affair. Flames danced upon the water, and with them, the first sparks of revolution ignited. It was a daring act, a declaration that even the smallest colony would not bow quietly to empire.Innovation, too, found its home here. In the quiet determination of its people, bold ideas took shape—like the USS Turtle, the world's first combat submarine, slipping silently beneath the waves in a daring attempt to change naval warfare forever. Rhode Island has always been a place where imagination meets courage.As the centuries turned, Newport transformed once more—not into a port of trade, but into a playground of grandeur. Along its cliffs rose the magnificent Newport Mansions, shimmering monuments to the Gilded Age. Estates like The Breakers, Marble House, and Rosecliff stood not merely as homes, but as declarations of wealth and artistry. Within their walls, laughter echoed through grand halls, and chandeliers glittered like captured starlight.And yet, for all its grandeur, Rhode Island never lost its charm—its delightful eccentricities, its sense of identity. Here, even the smallest details carry pride. The state bird, the Rhode Island Red, struts as a symbol of local heritage, while the beloved drink, coffee milk, offers a sweet, nostalgic taste of home. These quirks are not trivial—they are threads in the tapestry of a place that knows exactly who it is.Today, Rhode Island stands as a living storybook. Walk the streets of Providence, and you may feel the quiet presence of its founding ideals. Stand along the coastline, and the wind may carry whispers of sailors, rebels, and dreamers. Beneath its modest size lies a vast and vibrant past—a testament to resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of freedom.So come closer. Listen carefully. In Rhode Island, the past is never far away—it lingers in the air, dances on the waves, and waits, patiently, to enchant all who arrive.The content for this episode is written by Chef Walter, narrated by Noah Mitchell, and produced by SimVal Media, USA

I'm taking a look at Bigfoot sightings in Idaho this week, in Custer County, in honor of Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who sadly passed away last week. A one of the few mainstream scientists to take the Bigfoot phenomenon seriously, Dr. Meldrum brought a keen scientific eye to footprints, behaviors, and other evidence of the legendary creature's existence. He was a longtime professor of anthropology at Idaho State University, so this week I'm examining Sasquatch stories from the state he was best known for. A river rafter has rocks thrown at him by an unseen creature, a man hears something monstrous stalking around outside his tent, a camp staffer hears horrifying screams at night outside his cabin, Boy Scouts see a Bigfoot cross the trail in front of them as they hike, and a hunter sees a Sasquatch walking along a ridge. Do you think Bigfoot roams the Gem State?Chapters:0:21 - Jeff Meldrum: Remembering a Legend4:22 - River rafter has rocks thrown toward him while hiking near Sheepeater Hot Springs11:26 - Possible stalking outside a campers' tent in the White Knob mountains19:02 - Possible vocalizations heard by staff at Redfish Lake near Stanley27:00 - Hiking deaf Boy Scouts have midday sighting near Cape Horn Lake35:11 - Hunter has early morning sighting near Challis#bigfoot #idaho #jeffmeldrum #custercounty #cryptozoology Links!Follow us on Social media!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oddanduntold/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oddanduntoldWebsite: https://www.oddanduntold.comEmail me! : jason@oddanduntold.comMerch Store: https://oddanduntold.creator-spring.comBigfoot Howls in New York: https://youtu.be/JnO1VTbsmUY?si=5cqpJmzy1Jp5jzg5Bear or Bigfoot? with Josh Diaz: https://youtu.be/4i6AdmT_aQ0?si=QJXliYDGQxEP1aw0Ross Pond Bigfoot Encounter?: https://youtu.be/-C5KwYgP3po?si=KpScBM3pM8JQ1ihbBFRO Bigfoot Sightings - Custer County, Idaho: https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_county_reports.asp?state=id&county=CusterCheck out Riversend, the band behind "Moonlight," our awesome theme music!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1yIwfeu2cH1kDZaMYxKOUe?si=NIUijnmsQe6LNWOsfZ2jPwRiversend Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RiversendbandRiversend Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riversendband/

In this inspiring episode, we explore the vital practice of seed saving in Idaho and how it's transforming local communities through the passionate work of the Wood River Seed Library. Host David DeHaas sits down with Amy Mathews for an enlightening conversation on why saving seeds isn't just a gardening hobby—it's a powerful act of reclaiming food sovereignty, nurturing bioregional resilience, and building robust local food systems.You'll discover how heirloom seeds, adapted to Idaho's unique climate and growing conditions, hold the key to long-term food security and ecological sustainability. Amy shares the mission of the Wood River Seed Library and how their work supports both new and seasoned gardeners in developing skills in seed harvesting, cleaning, storage, and viability—ensuring that open-pollinated, non-GMO seeds continue to thrive year after year.We also dive into the importance of bioregional seed adaptation, a practice that ensures seeds are not only locally grown but also genetically resilient to regional pests, diseases, and climate variations. This approach empowers Idahoans to break their dependence on corporate seed companies and fosters a deeper connection to land, culture, and community resilience.Whether you're a homesteader, small-scale farmer, or someone passionate about organic gardening and regenerative practices, this episode will equip you with valuable insights and practical steps to join the growing movement of seed savers in Idaho and beyond.Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on heritage, sustainability, and the grassroots revival of seed stewardship that is quietly redefining agricultural independence across the Gem State.Support the show Ready for your healing journey?Visit our website: www.LivingWatersCleanse.com Or give us a call at: (208) 378-9911Stem Cell Activation Patches:www.StemCellPatch.netGet your Supplements and Natural Body Products Here:www.livingwaterscleanse.com/supplementsQI-Shield EMF Devices:Protect your whole home or office with a touric shield from EMF's. 1.

What makes Idaho special, and how can we protect it? Matt, creator of The Ranch podcast, reveals his journey from Berkeley graduate to California SAT tutor to Idaho political bridge-builder in this wide-ranging conversation about state politics, education, and community values.After nearly two decades in education, Matt witnessed California's political landscape transform the system in ways he found deeply concerning. When his state eliminated the SAT as an equalizing opportunity for disadvantaged students like himself, he knew it was time for a change. In 2022, he moved his family to Idaho seeking a state that valued personal liberty, civic engagement, and pragmatic governance—and started a podcast to understand his new home.The Ranch quickly evolved from neighborhood conversations to interviews with Idaho's most influential leaders, from the Governor to agency heads. What sets it apart is Matt's commitment to honest, unbiased dialogue that humanizes political figures across the spectrum. "If you say you want to talk to both sides, people need to trust you," he explains, detailing how he builds that trust through fair questioning and accurate representation.Through fascinating examples—from ranchers creating volunteer firefighting agencies to debates over employment protections—Matt demonstrates how his podcast illuminates complex state issues often overlooked by traditional media. He dives deep into technology in schools, sharing alarming discoveries about monitoring software vulnerabilities and his work on legislation requiring greater transparency for parents.Beyond politics, Matt reflects on what truly makes Idaho special: the freedom to explore public lands, the emphasis on individual agency and personal responsibility, and the authentic civic participation that has shaped the state's character. As Idaho faces growth and demographic changes, he sees his platform as critical to preserving these values by helping newcomers understand what makes the Gem State worth protecting.Whether you're an Idaho native, a transplant, or simply interested in how local media can bridge political divides, this conversation offers valuable insights into building community in polarized times.To learn more about Idaho, it's legislature, and what lies behind it...make sure to visit: The Ranch Podcast - Powered by Truth in Media Foundation and follow Matt on Instagram @the_ranch_podcastTell us what you think!Support the showFollow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcastYoutube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospodTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wildchaosshowX (Twitter): ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/thewildchaosMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/wildchaospodcastLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/wildchaos

Idaho lawmakers are taking aim at WWAMI, the decades-old program that helps Gem State students become doctors. With our state already facing the worst doctor shortage in the country, this proposal could make things even worse — especially in rural areas. Opponents of the bill say it's driven more by politics than policy. Dr. Andrea Christopher joins host Lindsay Van Allen to dig into what the fallout could be for future doctors, patients, and our state's already fragile healthcare system.  Want some more legislative news?

The political landscape is changing fast, both nationally and here in the Gem State.

This week, our Reporter Roundtable looks at everything from the emergency closure of the Eckert Bridge in Boise, to fears about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in the Gem State, to the latest in the Idaho Legislature.

The Los Angeles fires are leaving many people with nowhere to go, which has lead to speculation that some might find new homes in the Gem State. 

Al Fontes is a National Wrestling Hall of Fame Writer, who has years and years of experience with the sport. And although writing wasn't his FIRST passion, he has now become one of the best to do it. His ability to break down the sport and cover the athletes involved, is incredible.  Today we get to hear from him and learn of his background in the sport and where he came from. We'll chat about wrestling in California as compared to here in Idaho and what he's learned while he's been covering the sport here in Idaho (since he moved here just a few short years ago).  We also break down the Girl's Wrestling too and discuss the immense growth that is happening on that side too!  It's an incredible opportunity to become enlightened as Al shares some serious insight with the rest of us.  What I would highly recommend is taking a look at TIER 1 Wrestling on Instagram to see the coverage he provides on social media. You can find his page here:  https://www.instagram.com/tier_one_idaho/  I'd also highly encourage you all to take a look at his content on IdahoSports.com  where he does the majority of his work these days.  - https://www.idahosports.com/blogs/blogger.aspx?bloggerid=12029  Below I'd love to share with you all a list of the work he's done as a writer throughout the last 25+ years (you'll understand just how good this man's work truly is)    ALFRED F.

The Gem State has a large number of abandoned towns, many of which have a very spooky history.

We all know Californians have been moving to Idaho in droves for many years now. But why, exactly? Is it our conservative state politics, our outdoor recreation options, or our lower cost of living? Host Lindsay Van Allen is speaking with local realtor Michelene Cromwell, to really dig into what's drawing Californians to the Gem State. We're exploring its impact on our local community, especially the housing market. And could the California-to-Idaho migration finally be slowing down?  Be sure to tune in tomorrow for a conversation with another realtor about why Idahoans are choosing to leave our state and where they're heading.  Want some more Boise news and culture stories?
