Health Calls Season 7, Episode 2 explores how Catholic organizations across the United States are reimagining the connection between housing and healthcare. Host Brian Reardon and Executive Producer Josh Matejka welcome Rob McCann, President and CEO of Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, to discuss a nationally recognized partnership with Providence St. Joseph Health that addresses chronic homelessness through housing, medical respite, and supportive services. The conversation examines how stable housing can improve health outcomes, reduce hospital readmissions, lower emergency service utilization, and promote human dignity. McCann explains how the Healthy Housing Initiative grew from a local collaboration in Spokane, Washington, into a model that has inspired Catholic Charities organizations nationwide. By combining affordable housing with mental health support, addiction treatment, healthcare navigation, and community-based care, the program demonstrates how healthcare systems can move beyond clinical treatment to address root causes of poor health.Resources"Providence, Catholic Charities partner to help Eastern Washington patients with complex needs for 'as long as it takes'" (Catholic Health World, April 4, 2026) Health Calls is available on the following podcast streaming platforms:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLearn more about The Catholic Health Association of the United States at www.chausa.org.

Washington voters will soon decide whether to repeal the state's newly enacted 9.9% income tax, and a new analysis examines what Initiative 645 would actually do to the rest of Washington's tax package. The Washington Research Council has released a policy brief examining I-645 and the state's new income tax established under Senate Bill 6346. If voters approve Initiative 645, the income-tax provisions would be repealed while several other tax-relief provisions included in SB 6346 would remain in law. Those provisions include an expansion of the Working Families Tax Credit and other sales-tax and business-tax relief included in the legislation. Washington Research Council Senior Research Analyst Emily Makings says the income tax itself does not solve Washington's underlying state budget problems. The Research Council argues lawmakers have increased spending beyond expected ongoing revenues and will still have significant budget work ahead regardless of whether the income tax remains in place. The Research Council also points to uncertainty surrounding the income tax, including potential constitutional challenges and the volatility of relying on income from a relatively small group of high-income taxpayers. Washington voters will decide the fate of Initiative 645 in the November 3 election. Also in today's Washington in Focus, a North Carolina detransitioner is asking an appeals court to allow her lawsuit against medical providers to move forward. The woman says she began testosterone at age 17 and underwent a double mastectomy at 18. She is challenging the earlier dismissal of her lawsuit and argues that changes enacted by North Carolina lawmakers should allow her claims to proceed despite the time limits that previously barred the case. Her allegations against the medical providers remain the subject of ongoing litigation. And Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson is asking President Donald Trump to approve a federal Major Disaster Declaration following devastating wildfires across Eastern Washington. A state and federal preliminary damage assessment found that the fires destroyed 649 primary residences, damaged another 2,542 homes and burned nearly 369,000 acres. Washington is seeking federal Individual Assistance for residents in Benton, Okanogan, Spokane and Stevens counties and the Spokane Tribe of Indians. The state estimates the request could unlock approximately $11.2 million in assistance for individuals and another $117.7 million for debris cleanup and emergency costs. Today's Washington in Focus examines Initiative 645 and Washington's income-tax repeal, the state's continuing budget challenges, the North Carolina detransitioner lawsuit and Washington's request for federal wildfire disaster assistance.

This week, we're sharing a recent interview with Cal Robinet, an anarchist, union electrician, and fire arms instructor involved in the union and LGBT Ray Rainbolt Memorial Shooting Club. Cal is also a member of the Minnesota 15, who were federally indicted following Operation Metro Surge and taking their challenge to court, charged under 18 U.S.C. § 372 "conspiracy to impede federal officers", the civil war-era statute that has been deployed against other, non-violent anti-ICE protesters as we saw in Chicago with the Broadview 6 and in Washington with the Spokane 3. We would direct folks to Minnesota15.org for further reading, updates and ways to support the defendants. Of note, there is a call for a day of solidarity with the defendants on Sunday, October 3rd wherever you are. More at the support site, or find a pic in our show notes related to this.

Dr. Adam Swinyard, Superintendent of Spokane Public Schools and 2023 Washington Superintendent of the Year, joins the Jeff Kubiak to discuss leading one of Washington's largest districts through a rapidly shifting information and mental health landscape. Adam shares how Spokane centers everything on relationships, why transparency and "doors and windows" communication have replaced the old top-down model, and how the district's Engage in Real Life initiative and revised cell phone policy are tackling the youth mental health crisis. He also reflects candidly on lessons learned since becoming superintendent — from the power of emotional intelligence in hiring to rethinking public schools' role in a world where they no longer hold a monopoly on enrollment. Takeaways: Relationships over hierarchy — Spokane's culture is built on entering every interaction with love, kindness, and curiosity before power or authority. Transparency builds trust — Post-pandemic, families expect "doors and windows" into classrooms; hiding information only invites misinformation. Emotional intelligence trumps résumés — Adam prioritizes EQ over traditional credentials when hiring leaders, even for technical roles like HR. Engage in Real Life to fight the mental health crisis — Pairing a cell phone policy with real-world clubs, sports, and activities has driven major gains in attendance and behavior. Schools no longer have a monopoly — With school choice now widespread, districts must develop real marketing and branding strategies, like higher ed already does. About Dr. Adam Swinyard: The Spokane Public Schools board of directors named Dr. Adam Swinyard superintendent in the summer of 2020. In his role as superintendent for the state's largest school districts, Dr. Swinyard is tasked with implementing the district's vision, goals and policies. Dr. Swinyard previously served as the district's associate superintendent for teaching and learning and director of secondary schools. A native of Deer Park, Wash., Dr. Swinyard earned his B.A. in secondary education from Northwest University. He earned his M.Ed, Ed.D in executive leadership, and Washington State Principal and Superintendent credentials from Seattle Pacific University. In 2016, Dr. Swinyard received the Research on Superintendency Dissertation of the Year Award from the American Educational Research Association. Prior to working in district administration, Dr. Swinyard was the principal at Sacajawea Middle School in Spokane from 2013 – 2016. In that role, he was twice nominated for the Association of Washington School Principals (AWSP) Washington State Middle School Principal of the Year Award. He was an AWSP Regional Principal of the Year winner in 2015. Prior to his time leading Sacajawea, Dr. Swinyard was an assistant principal at Cheney High School in Cheney, Wash., and principal assistant at Garry Middle School in Spokane. Dr. Swinyard has teaching experience in health and fitness, language arts and social studies in western Washington school districts that include Glacier Peak High School in the Snohomish School District, and McAuliffe Elementary School in Redmond. Dr. Swinyard and his wife have three children.   Episode 353 of the Better Learning Podcast For more information on our partners: Association for Learning Environments (A4LE) - https://www.a4le.org/ Education Leaders' Organization - https://www.ed-leaders.org/ Second Class Foundation - https://secondclassfoundation.org/ EDmarket - https://www.edmarket.org/ Catapult @ Penn GSE - https://catapult.gse.upenn.edu/ Want to be a Guest Speaker?

We're back with the second installment of our deep dive into the Living Lake Project, an initiative of the Coeur d'Alene Arts & Culture Alliance that brings artists, environmental leaders, and community voices together in support of Lake Coeur d'Alene and its watershed. This time, we sit down with Darya Pilram, co-founder of the Living Lake Project and Director of the Hillyard Creative District in Spokane, and Sarah Thompson Moore, a noted public artist whose large-scale, site-specific sculptures — including Riverfront Park's The Seeking Place — have left their mark across the Inland Northwest. Together they explore how public art can translate the science and stewardship behind the Living Lake Project into something tangible and felt — work that invites the community to slow down, look closer, and reconnect with the lake and the land around it. Darya brings her cross-border perspective from building Hillyard's creative economy, and Sarah shares how she approaches a site's history, ecology, and people before a single piece of metal or concrete takes shape. It's a conversation about place-making, collaboration across counties, and what it looks like when artists become partners in environmental storytelling.

Students across the University of Montana have been affected by wildfire smoke or flames, whether through their work as wildland firefighters, or simply living where fires reach. From a past fire in small-town Colorado to the fires in Spokane that made nationwide news, this podcast shares the stories of three students' personal experiences with wildfires.   Full transcripts of this episode and all others are available online at www.montanakaimin.com/the_kaimin_cast/ Questions?

Margo is joined by Melissa Moore and Michele Matrisciani, co-authors of Killer in the Family: The Hidden Costs of Loving Someone the World Hates. Melissa grew up in Spokane, Washington, and was sixteen when she learned that her father, Keith Jesperson, had been arrested for murder. He was later convicted as the Happy Face Killer. Melissa went on to become a New York Times bestselling author with her memoir Shattered Silence, a domestic abuse prevention advocate, and an Emmy-nominated investigative correspondent for Crime Watch Daily. She hosts the true crime podcast Life After Happy Face and is the real-life inspiration behind the Paramount+ drama series Happy Face, starring Annaleigh Ashford. Michele is a New York Times bestselling coauthor, a Pushcart Prize nominee, and an editor with more than twenty years in publishing, with an MFA from Stony Brook University. She spent fifteen years as an acquisitions and developmental editor at houses including Macmillan, Hyperion, and McGraw-Hill Trade before founding Bookchic LLC, and her collaborations span Hachette, Penguin, Hay House, and HarperCollins, most recently including Gypsy-Rose Blanchard's memoir My Time to Stand. She has collaborated with Melissa across four books. For Killer in the Family, Melissa and Michele spent six years with nine families who share something nobody chooses: someone they loved was responsible for something horrific. The book moves the focus away from the crimes themselves and onto the parents, children, siblings, and spouses left to carry the aftermath. Margo, Melissa, and Michele discuss: What it was like for Melissa's story to become public, and the years of shame that came before that Why so many people reached out to Melissa afterward with the same message: I'm just like you How they chose which families and relationships belonged in the book How Michele earned enough trust with nine families to get material this personal What Michele could see as an outsider that Melissa, so close to her own story, couldn't always see herself How they handled it when two people's memories of the same moment didn't line up The responsibility of sending a finished chapter back to the person who lived it How families hold love and horror about the same person at the same time The role media coverage plays in a family's grief and isolation Knowing when it's time to stop telling your story Killer in the Family is available now in print, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold.

Ralph Bloemers has spent over two decades working in and around wildfire science and technology. He’s used documentary filmmaking as a vehicle for probing and documenting wildfires across the American West and contends that while wildfires are inevitable in Oregon, catastrophic community loss doesn’t have to be.   He makes a case for wildfire readiness techniques that homeowners can employ to reduce the risk of community conflagration or urban wildfire, like Spokane communities endured earlier this summer. We’ll speak to Bloemers about his recommendations for how homeowners can assist firefighters through wildfire readiness techniques and how his work documenting wildfires has informed his perspective on wildfire management.  

A few weeks ago, we welcomed Dr. Michele Murray here on AMDG. Dr. Murray is the new president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. To keep up this back-to-school theme, our two guests today are leaders of the Jesuit Schools Network of North America (JSN), which is the network of 90 Jesuit secondary and pre-secondary schools in our region of the world. JSN serves as a hub, bringing together faculty and staff from our schools to help them learn from each other and grow into even stronger institutions. Our first guest is Jen LaMaster, who began serving as JSN's executive director this past July. Before taking on this role, she was a leader for secondary education for the Jesuits' Midwest Province. She also spent 13 years in leadership roles at Brebeuf Jesuit Prep in Indianapolis. Our second guest is Lauren Hackman-Brooks, who is JSN's director of mission formation. She spends her time helping schools to live out their Catholic, Jesuit identities in bold and creative ways. Lauren has spent her entire career in Jesuit education, from post-college volunteer service at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago to four years leading mission engagement at Gonzaga University in Spokane. Host Mike Jordan Laskey loved hearing Jen's and Lauren's 30,000-foot perspective on Jesuit education. He asked them about the biggest challenges school leaders are facing today and how Jesuit schools can stand out in a very crowded high school marketplace. What makes our schools unique? Jen and Lauren both bring a huge amount of passion, energy and insight to the work, and we think you'll learn a lot about the state of Jesuit secondary education today.

Over the last 15 years, 1.6 million people have left Coastal Californiafor the Inland West without ever leaving the state.In this episode of Durable Value, Joe and Ryan break down the paradox atthe center of the Inland West: two economies sitting right next to eachother, dependent on each other, and moving in opposite directions. Theywalk through the migration data, the affordability math driving it, andthe structural forces keeping coastal costs climbing while the InlandWest stays within reach.They also lay out the thesis the firm was built on: there are roughly 80Modestos across the Inland West. Mid-sized markets nestledbetween larger economies, strong on quality of life and cost, and largelyunnoticed by institutional capital.If you're trying to understand where population, jobs, and industry areactually headed over the next few decades, start here.Timestamps:0:00 - Two Californias: coastal, inland, and where the thesis started1:03 - 1.6 million people move inland without leaving the state2:06 - Why they move: affordability, quality of life, and not renting forever3:08 - Structural tailwinds: remote work, automation, and electrification4:06 - The 80 Modestos thesis: Spokane, El Paso, Colorado Springs, Reno-Sparks5:57 - Building the lattice of the West: boots on the ground in every market7:20 - COVID shined a light on a trend that was already decades old

What does effective special pathogen preparedness look like in practice? In this episode, Jill Morgan talks with Darrell Ruby and Jackson Gruber, from NETEC's Emergency Management workgroup, about the team's newly updated exercise templates designed to make planning, conducting, and evaluating exercises more manageable. The conversation covers progressive exercise planning, adapting templates to local risks, testing communication across every shift, and using small drills to uncover gaps before an incident occurs. Darrrell and Jackson explain how facilities can start with focused objectives, build stronger partnerships, and turn after-action findings into practical improvements, whether they're preparing for a viral hemorrhagic fever, measles, an MCI, or another high-consequence event. Tune in to hear more about NETEC's exercise templates and discover how small, practical drills can expose the gaps that matter to your facility's preparedness. Questions or comments for NETEC?

A new national firearms survey estimates Americans own approximately 461 million guns—including roughly 40 million AR-15-style rifles—as major Second Amendment litigation moves through the U.S. Supreme Court. The 2026 National Firearms Survey from Georgetown University professor William English estimates approximately 88 million American adults own firearms, with the average gun owner possessing roughly 5.2 guns. The survey estimates Americans own approximately 208 million handguns, 154 million rifles and 99 million shotguns. Among the most significant findings: approximately 25% of gun owners report owning an AR-15-type rifle, representing an estimated 40 million AR-15-style rifles nationwide. Another estimated 20 million similarly styled semiautomatic rifles are also privately owned. Dave Workman, communications director for the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, discusses what the new gun ownership data could mean for the national Second Amendment debate and litigation challenging restrictions on semiautomatic rifles. The U.S. Supreme Court is considering major litigation involving restrictions on semiautomatic firearms in Cook County, Illinois, and Connecticut. Gun-rights advocates argue the enormous number of AR-15-style rifles in private ownership supports their position that the firearms are in common use and protected by the Second Amendment. Supporters of restrictions dispute the constitutional arguments advanced by those challenging the laws. Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility Chief of Staff Ryan Guzman also discusses the organization's priorities for Washington's 2027 legislative session, including stronger secure-storage policies and increased funding for community violence intervention and hospital-based intervention programs. Also on Washington in Focus Daily, Washington's largest state employee union has reached a tentative agreement with the state on a new 2027–29 contract. The Washington Federation of State Employees General Government bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with Gov. Bob Ferguson's administration and the Office of Financial Management. Approximately 42,000 general government workers are covered by the bargaining unit. Details of the agreement were not immediately available as members prepare to vote on ratification. Washington GOP Chair Jim Walsh criticizes the state's collective bargaining process and argues taxpayers deserve greater transparency into negotiations over state employee compensation. Finally, Spokane businesses are raising concerns about crime, homelessness, drug use and street disorder. Independent journalist Kevin Dahlgren traveled to Spokane to investigate complaints from businesses near homelessness facilities. Business owners and other critics argue crime and disorder surrounding some facilities have contributed to businesses closing or relocating. The segment also examines the ongoing debate over Housing First, Catholic Charities Eastern Washington and alternative approaches to homelessness emphasizing treatment, recovery and self-sufficiency. Washington in Focus Daily breaks down the 2026 National Firearms Survey, 461 million guns in America, 40 million AR-15s, American gun ownership, Second Amendment cases, the U.S. Supreme Court, Washington gun laws, Washington state worker contracts, Gov. Bob Ferguson, WFSE, taxpayer transparency, Spokane crime, Spokane homelessness, Housing First, Catholic Charities Eastern Washington and the latest Washington state news. #GunOwnership #SecondAmendment #AR15 #SCOTUS #WashingtonState #GunRights #GunLaws #Spokane #Homelessness #TaxpayerMoney #WashingtonNews #Seattle #TheCenterSquare #WashingtonInFocus Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Where do you go when the church cannot help you? Tisha lived that question. She and her husband moved into their first home, a little 1901 house on Spokane's South Hill, just before their baby was born, with no idea what was buried beneath it. A man was once shot and dragged inside to die. A girl was badly burned. Innocent blood has been spilled on that plot of earth, going back further than the records reach. And something bound to that land, there long before Tisha arrived, begins to make itself known through nightmares, apparitions, and a presence that seems fixed on her and her child. When she finally works up the courage to ask for help, she discovers the most frightening part of the whole ordeal. Nobody knows what to do.Her pastor turns her away. The exorcist route dead ends. Desperate and out of options, Tisha turns to psychics and paranormal teams against everything she believes, and things only get worse until she finally learns where real authority over the darkness comes from. This is one of the most harrowing and hopeful testimonies we have ever put in the vault, a curse on the land that becomes a rescue.
