Episode description
Big money, big controversy, and big spring plans — we’ve got it all on this week’s Friday news roundup. Political scientist Charlie Hunt joins host Lindsay Van Allen to discuss how concerned we should be about President Trump’s attack on the CHIPS Act, and what it might mean for Micron. Then, they question why a West Ada teacher was told to take down “welcome” posters in her classroom. Plus, we’re dreaming of spring break and recommend Charlie’s free podcast event at Treefort Music Fest.
