Post-Primary Politics Palooza

Idaho is pretty used to getting embarrassed in national media for cranking out far-right extremist figures. But in last month’s Republican primary, extremists who were hoping to win statewide elections lost big-time — for the most part.

To find out whose having a moment and whose been kicked to the curb in Idaho’s GOP, we talk with two local reporters who keep a close eye on the statehouse. Heath Druzin hosts the Extremely American podcast and James Dawson — also known as Jimmy — covers politics for Boise State Public Radio.
