The podcast is taking a summer sabbatical but we still wanted to talk about some of our stories so Managing Editor Elizabeth Thompson and Reporter Megan Messerly sat down for a half hour to do just that. Topics include Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo's post-Oct. 1 report on improvements the department needs to make, the City of Las Vegas vowing not to pay hacker ransoms and the 2020 elections including the call-in rather than caucus option for Democrats.
On this week’s episode of IndyMatters, we hear from the team in the north (Riley, Michelle, Daniel and Joey) and most of the Las Vegas team (Jon, Jackie and Jacob) as they strive to answer your questions. This is a special edition of the IndyMatters Podcast celebrating our 100th episode. It is a bit longer and a bit of a departure from our usual format. We hope you enjoy it. If you did not a question submitted for this episode and have burning queries for us, don’t worry — there will be an episode 200.
On the 99th episode of IndyMatters, education reporter Jackie Valley sits down with Nevada System of Higher Education board of regents member Trevor Hayes to talk not about higher education but about reporting she has done on primary school students struggling with dyslexia. Hayes’s daughter struggles with dyslexia, and Jackie has been following her journey as she learns to read. Later on in the episode, we shift gears; our new reporter Jacob Solis comes into the studio to chat with Jackie about his extensive reporting on Gov. Steve Sisolak’s campaign finances (who donated to him, how much and where in the country they were from).
With the 80th session of the Legislature behind us, The Indy’s Multimedia Editor Joey Lovato sits down with reporters Megan Messerly, Michelle Rindels and Riley Snyder to recap what happened. They talk about the big bills that passed (and died), the last-minute drama between the Democrats and Republicans, bills that will have effects you may have missed and more. There is also a surprise guest at the end of the episode so listen for that. Also, be sure to send your probing questions to [email protected] for the special 100th IndyMatters episode that will air in two weeks!
This week on IndyMatters, reporter Megan Messerly talks with the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Tom Perez, about how the party sees Nevada as the 2020 election draws ever nearer. Perez talks debates, the Democratic party’s focus and goals both in the state and nationally.
