What's happened so far in the 2025 Nevada legislature? From a fast-tracked egg prices bill and ending Daylight Saving Time to possible Medicaid cuts, there's been a flurry of activity recently after a few slow weeks to start. One month in, we thought it would be a great time to check in on the biggest debates of the 83rd session with two of the best legislative reporters. The Nevada Independent's Tabitha Mueller and Nevada Public Radio's Paul Boger join host Ben Margiott for another remote podcast inside the legislative building in Carson City to get you up to speed on the first month of #nvleg.

Investigators identified the man driving the Cybertruck that exploded in front of the Trump hotel in Las Vegas as Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty member of the Army's elite special forces. Police said he shot himself before a device detonated a combination of fireworks, gas and camping fuel in the vehicle. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Joe Schoenmann of Nevada Public Radio.

Authorities are investigating a possible connection between the attack in New Orleans and the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck which exploded in Las Vegas. For the latest from Las Vegas Joe Schoenmann, senior producer with Nevada Public Radio in Las Vegas, and former CIA Director John Brennan.

Cyclists and pedestrians take over Latah near the railroad crossing. (Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )Right around noon on a bluebird September Sunday in Boise, a pack of cyclists dozens strong turned south onto Latah Street, a chorus of bike bells sounding. A large group of cyclists cruises south on Latah around noon on Sunday, Sept 22, when Boise held its first Open Streets event.(Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )They cruised past a barricade, where police and volunteers were turning motorists away. Several hundred yards in, the Boise Good Times Street Band welcomed riders with a jaunty rendition of Give My Regards to Broadway. Wide, business-lined Latah is soon packed with bikers, walkers, roller skaters and at least one person on stilts.Food trucks and other stands line the one-mile segment of the street, and long lines stretch out of the cafes and restaurants on the route. Long lines stretched out of the cafes and restaurants on Latah during the event.(Murphy Woodhouse)Lindsey Lind and her family – husband Eric, their two young children, and two dogs – had walked from their nearby home. They're standing in line for some birria tacos.“It's kind of weird,” she said, standing in the middle of the road. “Like, I feel like I keep needing to move over to the side.”Eric described Latah on a normal day.“It's busy, and usually people aren't doing 30 miles an hour,” he said. “It's, you know, 35, 40.”“Or more,” Lindsey interjected.They loved the vibrant sense of community surrounding them, and the promotion of green alternatives to driving.“I think it helps people slow down a little bit and see kind of what's out here as far as businesses and, you know, it kind of puts maybe some of these businesses on the map,” Eric said. Austin Clark, owner of Primal Coffee on Latah, plays fiddle with his friend Matt Hopper's band The Roman Candles in front of his cafe during the Open Streets event. "I think I knew it would be a good coordinated event, so I was happy to be a part of it and see where it goes," he said.(Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )“I think it's really awesome for Latah's business, this kind of exposure,” said Austin Clark, owner of Primal Coffee, located on the street. “Maybe a lot of people don't come up onto Latah ever, you know, because there's no reason to. But now they've got a reason to come.”Sending a messageThese are exactly the sorts of sentiments organizers of Boise's first Open Streets event were hoping to inspire.“All the chips fell into place. It worked out really well. And here we are today with close to, I would say like 3000 people,” said Nina Pienaar, advocacy director at the Boise Bicycle Project (BBP). Several days after the event, organizers later provided an updated figure of over 6,000. Bike racks were packed tight on Latah Street during the event.(Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )BBP worked closely with Ada County, Boise, and other local officials to develop location criteria, then surveyed neighborhoods to find a spot with local buy-in. They ultimately landed on Latah.Pienaar said the strong turnout “sends the message loud and clear that like, ‘Hey, the Boise community, we're out biking, we're out walking. We want to see more infrastructure. We want to be able to choose to bike and to walk rather than choosing to get into our vehicles.'”The second Open Streets event is already planned for next year, according to an official with the City of Boise, which sponsored the event. But with thousands in the street for the first event, Pienaar said there's huge potential for a more regular schedule, perhaps even biweekly during the summer, adding: “The more the better.”Social animals“The concept is really, really simple. You open streets to people and you close them to cars. And the magic happens,” said Gil Penalosa. “You get young and old and rich and poor and fat and skinny, and you get everybody.”Penalosa is an urban planner who now lives in Toronto, where he was the runner-up in the 2022 mayoral election. But as an official in the Colombian capital of Bogotá in the late 1990s, he helped dramatically expand the city's weekly ciclovía program, credited as the seed of the global Open Streets movement. Every Sunday some 1.5 million Bogotanos cruise around 80 miles of car-free roads.“Why is it spreading?” he asked. “I think because humans are social animals, and we want to be with other people.”A winged stilt walker makes their way down Latah. (Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )The many benefits of Open Streets are best achieved with frequent repetition, especially the health benefits, Penalosa argued. But in a time of often ugly divisiveness, he said anything that brings a diverse swath of a community together is good.“The possibility of people meeting as equals is really, really, really important,” he said.He acknowledges that some officials and businesses can blanch at shutting down significant stretches of roadways to cars, but encourages cities that haven't tried it to be gutsy.“I've seen it [be] successful … in cities of 50,000 people or 500,000 or 5 million, 20 million. It works everywhere,” Penalosa said. “I've seen it in poor cities, in wealthy cities, and it makes everybody happier and healthier. And also to keep in mind that this is low-risk, this is low-cost and has very high benefits.”Terra Reed, an organizer of the Albuquerque Open Streets event Ciclovía – now in its 10th year – similarly encouraged other cities to give it a go, saying that it doesn't have to be huge to be a success. From their experience, she said “having strong ties” with local governments is especially important to start and maintain such efforts.“Try to build those relationships early,” she advised.Just keep pedalingIn a parking lot off Latah, young kids are buzzing around a bicycle skills course. 6-and-a-half-year-old Margot Mace makes her way around a bicycle skills course.(Murphy Woodhouse / Boise State Public Radio )Margot Mace, who's 6-and-a-half years old, is getting frustrated trying to ride her bike over a teeter-totter obstacle.“You can do it, keep pedaling,” her mom, Beth Edwards, encouraged.“It doesn't let me do it,” Margot shouted in frustration after another failed attempt.Beth said they had ridden to Latah with dozens of others – and got a taste of the danger cyclists face in the city.“We were trying to get across Orchard (Street) and a car almost ran us down,” she recounted. “We were a big group of bikers, so we weren't just one cycling family or one person. There was 40 of us and a car still almost ran us down.”Edwards had heard of Open Streets, but didn't really know much about the idea until that Sunday. She loved its emphasis on safety for all road users.“We are just kinda constantly living with that ‘Llook out! Look out!'” she said. “Coming here and being free and seeing her just riding safely and freely is a pretty awesome feeling.”After three failed attempts, Margot backed up to give it one more go. She rolled up and over to the applause of spectators.“I just love how she never gives up,” Beth said. “That's all it takes.”This story was produced by the Mountain West News Bureau, a collaboration between Wyoming Public Media, Nevada Public Radio, Boise State Public Radio in Idaho, KUNR in Nevada, KUNC in Colorado and KANW in New Mexico, with support from affiliate stations across the region.

For the Season 2 Finale of Exit Spring Mountain, we're talking about the care packages we send and receive to offer help and hope to our families and friends abroad. Balikbayan boxes are also a topic of conversation, as they have helped float the Phillippine country for decades. Many Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders also send remittances - funds transferred from migrants or recent immigrants to their home countries. What does the money pay for? Why do AAPI communities continue this practice? And how can this be a lifeline for families and governments in other countries?Professor Constancio Arnaldo, an assistant professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary Gender and Ethnic studies and Asian and Asian American Studies at UNLV discusses the historical context of why remittances and balikbayan boxes are important for Filipino and Filipino American communities. Bernardo Blanco, who has been participating in sending remittances to family in the Phillippines for decades, explains why he feels it is his duty to continue to help his family abroad for as long as he lives. JD Reyes, a first-generation UNLV student and Chamorro from Saipan, explains why he loves staying connected with his family back home  through the care packages he receives and sends. Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

Episode 10 marks the end of season 1, so we decided to mark the event with a special episode: The Exit Spring Mountain team gathered (virtually) for a potluck of food and conversation. We each brought a dish to showcase stories and flavors that are meaningful to us, opening the door for deeper conversations: How do we talk about authenticity in food and cooking, and when is that a useful—and not so useful—concept? And what about the thorny topic of appropriation: When is cooking the food of others problematic? When do we need better language for these exchanges?And last but not least, we give listeners a tiny peek behind the scenes into our roles on the show, what we loved, and what we hope listeners will take away.

Navigating the experience of being both AAPI and LGBTQ+ can be a fraught experience—but when you've found your community, it can be a joyful one, too. Miss Nevada 2021, Kataluna Enriquez, was the first openly trans winner of the Miss Nevada pageant, tells her story about discovering herself and stepping into her stunning ball gowns—and into her power. UNLV psychology Professor Gloria Wong-Padoongpatt gives us the context for understanding how mental health in AAPI communities in discussed, and how the field of psychology is moving away from talking about cultures as problems. Local writer and creative Vera Blossom discusses the layers of issues in accessing healthcare for trans and AAPI individuals, and how finding your community can help. Ernie Yuen, a long-time LGBTQ+ advocate in the Las Vegas community, talks about how coming out can be easier in some Pacific Islander communities—but also how devastating it can be for youths who don't have family to turn to. And finally, Monica Lapa, a board member of the United Territories of Pacific Islanders Alliance LV (UTOPIA) describes how their event, tea time, is a place to connect LGBTQ+ individuals with resources but also find belonging.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

Las Vegas's Chinatown is a bustling three-mile stretch along Spring Mountain Road that's become a destination for foodies and travelers in-the-know. A long-time favorite of hospitality industry workers getting off their shifts, it's home to bakeries, bars, karaoke, and restaurants from around the world. But how did Chinatowns get their start in America, and what prejudices drove their creation? How is the Las Vegas Chinatown—and other suburban Chinatowns anchored in strip mall architecture—different?In this episode, you'll hear from Sharon Hwang, co-owner of Chinatown Plaza and daughter of Henry Hwang, one of Las Vegas Chinatown's founders. UNLV Professor and Director of Asian and Asian American studies Mark Padoongpatt tells us about the history of Chinatowns in America—and the racism that made them spaces of contention long into the present day. A young entrepreneur, Antonio Cheon, shares the opportunities and hopes he sees in the growing neighborhood where barriers to entry are lower than traditional tourist neighborhoods. What, ultimately, do spaces like Chinatowns mean to Asian Americans and the cities they're in?Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

The U.S. Constitution mandates a Census every 10 years—it's how we allocate seats in the House of Representatives (Nevada gained a fourth seat in 2010 after the Census showed our relative population increase) and how we determine federal funding for housing, education, and health. For each Nevadan who isn't counted, whether a citizen or not, our state loses out on $10–12,000 in funding over the course of a decade. So how did local organizations reach out to AAPI communities to ensure an accurate count? How did the Census influence redistricting in 2021, and how did that impact AAPI communities in Southern Nevada?Despite its impact, the Census is perhaps an imperfect tool—people don't usually fit into neat little boxes. So why is the race question fraught for so many people, how can data about "AAPI" groups obscure the experiences of Pacific Islanders, and how does the Census reflect America's shifting views about race? In this episode, we speak with artist and UNLV Professor Tiffany Lin whose census-based community art project can be viewed at https://24views.org/ ; Eric Jeng, Director of Outreach at the Asian Community Development Council; Thalia Melville, a student at UNLV; and Kristine Espinoza, a UNLV PhD candidate studying race-conscious higher education law and policies.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

This is the third in a three-part series about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Southern Nevada's AAPI communities. In this episode, we look at how Asian Americans in Southern Nevada are responding to the surge of anti-Asian violence in the wake of the pandemic. We visit a self-defense class organized by the Asian Community Development Council, and talk to Desert Fallout gun store owner Lyon Gong, who says he's seen a rise in Asian Americans buying guns since 2020.UNLV Professor Mark Padoongpatt gives us context for the rise in anti-Asian violence, why we've seen it before, and how political rhetoric filters into our everyday experiences. And Rhode Island College Professor Tamara Nopper invites us to tackle some tough questions: How could the experience of Asian Americans in this moment spur us to confront anti-Blackness, structural inequality, and bigger-picture solutions? There are no easy answers, but we invite you to sit with the questions, together with us.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

This episode is the second in a three-part series about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Southern Nevada's AAPI communities. Earlier this year, a startling statistic came to light: While Filipino nurses make up just 4% of nurses nationwide, they accounted for 33% of nurse deaths during the early months of the pandemic. Why was there such an outsized toll on Filipino nurses in particular? What effects does this have in a city like Las Vegas, where the Filipino population is our largest Asian ethnic group—three times the size of the next largest group, Chinese Americans? How do we start to address the mental health issues arising from this crisis, and where do we go from here?We speak to Constancio Arnaldo, an Assistant Professor at UNLV, about the historical forces driving immigration from the Philippines to the U.S., and why so many of the Filipinos immigrating are care workers. Marianne Torio, a charge nurse at a large hospital in Las Vegas, and Grace Vergara-Mactal, Executive Director of SEIU 1107 (which represents healthcare workers), join us to discuss the toll that working on the front lines of COVID takes on healthcare workers' mental health. And Andrew Reyes, an Assistant Professor at the UNLV School of Nursing, tells us about the interventions he is developing to help healthcare workers overcome trauma—and how Filipino nurses develop resilience with the help of their communities.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

This episode is the first in a three-part series about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Southern Nevada's AAPI communities. Nevada was hit harder by the pandemic shutdowns than any other state—and the numbers continue to bear that out. As of this fall, Nevada still has the highest unemployment rate in the country. In particular, Asian immigrant women, who are overrepresented in service industry work, have the highest rates of long-term pandemic unemployment. So how is Las Vegas fighting back, for all of its workers?We talk with Bethany Khan, Spokeswoman for Culinary 226, the largest union (and the largest AAPI workers' organization) in Nevada, about the rally to bring everyone back to work. We also speak with union member Stella Kalaoram, a housekeeper at a popular Strip hotel, about what it takes to clean a room with the new pandemic requirements—and how "unskilled work" is an unfair description of the jobs that service workers do.Professor Preeti Sharma, who studies labor in the immigrant service sector, helps us understand why service work is devalued, and how that made service workers particularly vulnerable when the pandemic hit. She also explains why Asian immigrant women are so heavily represented in the service sector—and how that led to Asian immigrant women facing the highest rates of long-term pandemic unemployment.Las Vegans aren't taking this sitting down. Penny Chua, co-owner of the world-famous Thai restaurant Lotus of Siam, tells us how businesses can take care of their employees when disaster strikes—but also how challenging that can be.Mutual aid organizations like the Ninth Island Aunties, started by Cathi Minami, have helped locals like Kanoe Kalua find their footing when COVID impacted her family—in most of the states that record this data, Pacific Islanders have the highest rates of COVID death and hospitalization, so Kanoe's family was doubly impacted. Another aid organization, the Asian Community Development Council, started an Asian food pantry to provide culturally-appropriate food aid to families who prefer Asian ingredients like cabbage, soy sauce, and rice noodles.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

"Go home." "Go back to your country." "You don't belong here." These are phrases that many Nevadans of Asian descent have heard—it's rooted in a view of Asians as perpetual foreigners in this country, no matter how long they've lived here. As UNLV Professor Emeritus Sue Fawn Chung tells us, this modern-day sentiment is hardly new. It has roots in the treatment of some of the earliest Asian migrants to the U.S.: Chinese laborers who came to work in mining and railroads, in kitchens and laundry shops. That treatment, at times, boiled over into violence.It also culminated in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the only federal law to this day to restrict immigration on the basis of race. As UNLV Law Professor Michael Kagan, author of The Battle to Stay in America, explains, the Chinese Exclusion Act and subsequent Supreme Court cases have had lasting impacts on immigration law to this day.Chinese Exclusion came to an end when it proved politically expedient to ally with China against a different threat in World War II: Japan. Former Clark County Principal and longtime community leader Wayne Tanaka tells the story of the so-called internment camps where 120,000 Japanese Americans (including his father) were detained—and why local Las Vegans stepped up to protect their Japanese American neighbors.Wayne also tells us why it's important to remember this history—and how it can teach us to do better.Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

According to the most recent Census data, the population of Pacific Islanders in the U.S. has risen nearly 30% in the last decade—in Nevada, it's risen by 60%.  Las Vegas, famously, has the largest population of Hawaiians outside of Hawai'i, earning our city the nickname "the Ninth Island." But some Native Hawaiians take issue with the term, pointing out that Hawai'i is a sovereign nation, and that describing Las Vegas as an extension of an American state is misguided.These issues of land and sovereignty in Hawai'i and other Pacific Islands are at the heart of why so many Pacific Islanders have moved here, to Southern Nevada. In this episode, we learn about the history of American involvement in the Pacific, and its connection to Pacific Islander migration today.We talk with Doreen Hall, President of the Las Vegas Hawaiian Civic Club (LVHCC), about what it means to be Native Hawaiian in Las Vegas, and why teaching Hawaiian culture here, too, is so important. We hear from a local small business owner from Guam, Tiffany Biscoe, whose family has a deep connection to the ocean.

In Nevada's most recent legislative session, Assembly Bill 359 was passed with little fanfare: It requires businesses to provide translated documents for certain consumer financial services transactions, including credit card issuance and auto title loans. For some individuals in AAPI communities here in Las Vegas, this bill, which took effect on October 1st, is an important step.Language barriers affect non-fluent English speakers in schools, hospitals, and business settings—according to U.S. Census data, those who identify as AAPI have the highest rates of Limited English Proficiency of any ethnic group. In this episode, we speak with Assemblywoman Venicia Considine, primary sponsor of AB359, about why translation is an important component of consumer protection law. We also talk with Vida Lin, President of the Asian Community Development Council, a non-profit here in Southern Nevada, about their advocacy for language access and work to help members of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities  register to vote and sign up for health insurance.But language is also a striking example of how diverse this umbrella term AAPI is—not only are hundreds of languages and dialects spoken across "AAPI," English proficiency rates are also diverse across these many groups. UNLV Professor Mark Padoongpatt, academic research consultant at Exit Spring Mountain, joins us for this conversation. How and when does "AAPI" make sense? What do our many languages teach us about where we come from, and where we might be headed? When do languages make us a target—and when are they our superpower?Exit Spring Mountain is a podcast from Nevada Public Radio.

Summer could be the most inspirational season in pop music. Think "Hot Fun in the Summertime" by Sly Stone, "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey, "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama -- and damn near the entire Beach Boys catalog.Summer-related themes and references are certainly well-represented in the Nevada-based songs played by NV89, Nevada Public Radio’s music station in Reno.

This year's Oscars where notably brown in comparison to years past. The presence of Latinx actors and political causes were felt throughout the awards show. However, the diversity of the ceremony was not reflected in the movies nominated. LWL discuss the lack of diversity in Hollywood and mention the reasons why "The Shape of Water" and "Coco" did not meet their expectations. Thank you to Nevada Public Radio for facilitating this conversation. #SupportBrownPodcasts #SupportLatinxPodcasts #LWLPod

In Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST, the magician Prospero conjures up a storm, charms his daughter to sleep, and uses his power to control Ariel and other spirits. Is this magic for real, or is Prospero pulling off elaborate illusions? Fascinated by this question and by Prospero’s relinquishing of magic at the play’s end, Teller (of the magic/comedy team Penn & Teller) co-directed a production of THE TEMPEST with Aaron Posner at Chicago Shakespeare Theater in 2015. In this episode of Shakespeare Unlimited, Teller joins Barbara Mowat, director of research emerita at the Folger and co-editor of the Folger Editions, to talk about magic in THE TEMPEST and other Shakespeare plays, as well as the attitudes about magic in late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Teller and Mowat are interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. © March 8, 2016. Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved. This podcast episode is called “Enter Prospero in His Magic Robes, and Ariel.” It was produced by Richard Paul. Garland Scott is the associate producer. It was edited by Gail Kern Paster and Esther Ferington.
