Gen Z Voter Surge, New Development Attracts Haters, Plus a Goth BSU Athlete

For this week’s Friday news roundup, executive producer Frankie Barnhill joins host Lindsay Van Allen to dig into the controversy surrounding a new “walkable” development in Meridian. From traffic to overcrowded classrooms, people have a lot of feelings about it. And they’re discussing the surge in Gen Z voter registration in Idaho and how that could impact local races. Plus, we’re delighting in the story of a viral beach volleyball athlete who put Boise State University’s program on the map this week.  And a reminder: Today is the last day to register to vote ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.  Want some more Boise news?
