Host Lindsay Van Allen and executive producer Frankie Barnhill are rounding up the biggest stories of the week. First off, they have lingering questions about the $4 million verdict in favor of Big City Coffee. What does this mean for Boise State University? And we’re feeling some economic whiplash after news that Boise-area family income now tops $100,000 — even while our housing is less affordable than California. Plus, Lindsay finds the best pumpkin spice coffee in the Treasure Valley and Frankie suggests a nerdy movie marathon to mark the start of fall.

On Sunday from 12-5 p.m., no cars are allowed on a mile-long stretch of Latah. That’s because the Boise Bicycle Project is holding a new event called Open Streets Boise — replacing Goathead Fest that’s long been held downtown.

With the SAG-AFTRA and Writers’ Guild of America strikes, 2023 was the year of the union.

What caused the resurgence in support for unions? How do unions play a major role in the fight for equal pay? Why should you seek unionized workplaces when job searching? We talked with Liz Schuler and Jesica Bush about the importance of unions in creating workplaces that at minimum keep us safe and at maximum allow us to thrive.
