21:02Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) is amid a months long process to determine if it should privatize its treatment services division, which currently serves 1,000 patients, connecting them with methadone and mental health services to manage opioid addiction. The process, which began last spring has been a tense one led by SRHD Administrative Officer Dr. Alicia Thompson. Thompson recently completed Phase One of the Feasibility Study, which is what they're calling the process to determine if the division should move forward towards privatization. During phase one, Thompson gathered and analyzed feedback from a variety of stakeholders, including patients, employees, and service providers identifying the impacts privatization could have on them. At the September board meeting, Thompson presented her findings and two separate recommendations: One to end the process now and keep the division, establishing a designated fund for it within SRHD to ensure it can save and invest money in its future to grow. And another to continue the process and start looking into the legal ramifications and physical process of converting the division to private or selling it off to a private provider. The board of health was scheduled to vote on those recommendations during the September board meeting, but after community feedback against privatization and a robust discussion among board members, they decided to postpone the ultimate decision until the October board meeting, which is set for Thursday, October 31. Prior to the September board meeting, we sat down for a Q&A with Susie Saunders, the representative of Protec 17 , the union for SRHDās Treatment Services Employees. We asked Saunders to weigh in on the potential privatization of the division and what it could mean for employees. What follows is that conversation lightly edited for clarity and time.ā¦

Join host Luke Baumgarten and reporter Erin Sellers as they explore the vital role of public records in holding our electeds accountable. First we have a lively roundtable with local reporters Nate Sanford of the Inlander and Daniel Walters of InvestigateWest (but formerly at the Inlander too!), who both submit a ton of records requests. We learned their best tips and tricks and how they use records to crack open stories that are crucial to our community. We also get to hear their stories from the journalism trenches. Walters recently finished an investigation into just how long 15 different Northwest governments take to respond to public records and ā spoiler ā it turns out the city of Spokane is the slowest. Next we talk to local dad (and Spokane Reimagined founder) Erik Lowe, who shares how public records play into his work as a traffic safety and urban planning advocate.

Luke plays nature documentary voiceover artist to narrate a day in the life of a journalist navigating the treacherous waters of ethical audio use, then switches hats to lead a bit of reporter therapy. Unfortunately, it was virtual, so no one really knows what his couch looks like yet. Next, we did a bit of self-plagiarism and stole a segment from our Wide Range newsletter: Luke, Val and Erin each brought in a piece of good news, a piece of bad news and a piece of embarrassing news. We all learned about: Statewide AI oversight Local transportation and traffic calming Some Idaho reproductive health news and Ellen Degeneresā visit to Spokane (whether that one is good, bad or embarrassing is a bit subjective, but Val has thoughts.) Finally, Luke sat down for a short interview with our intern Holly, who wrote a story this week about the facts and fiction of fentanyl. She debunked some myths, gave some additional context and answered some burning questions on the top of our minds like, can cops actually get a contact high? Weāre just starting to get our wobbly baby deer legs under us, but weāre still taking feedback. Weāre the press for the people, and the pod for the people so you tell us: what do you want to hear?

1:08:30The pod is back for the next time, for the last time. And this time , we are pulling back the curtain! The old format was a lot to pull off each week, so weāre brainstorming ways to make it happen consistently. Join host Luke Baumgarten and the rest of the RANGE crew, Val Osier, Erin Sellers & Aaron Hedge, as they go on a fantastic voyage into the life of the journalistic mind, brainstorming new segment ideas and discussing the unique powers of audio journalism to engage with listeners, inform our community and do atmospheric storytelling ā which is to say we talk about podcast stuff we like and how to make it happen with the small, mighty team we have. We also discuss a shift weāre trying to make across everything we do at RANGE to get more reader and listener engagement, and more directly let your questions and concerns shape our reporting. Scroll down for more on that. Next, we tested out one of our segment ideas, The Fact Check, before concluding with a quick interview with Howl Hall on the Mifepristone Supreme Court case and what itās been like for Hall, a graduating senior at The Community School to team up with RANGE to produce journalism that is important to him and his classmates. This episode is half brainstorm, half experimentation, two-thirds Luke remembers how to edit audio and 3/5ths he learns a new software. We arenāt mathematicians, but thatās like over 2 podcasts for the price (free) of 1. It turned out ā¦ better than expected? Weāll let you be the judge. LET US KNOW Seriously: we really want to know what you think of the new ideas and plan. Send us an email (or a voice clip!) at team@rangemedia.co Leave Luke a voicemail at 509-508-1055. Fill out our survey in the show notes RIGHT HERE . We cannot stress this enough: We want your ideas for segments. We want you to ask us questions. We will answer them. We might even turn them into stories. We want to know what you want to know. If we know about what you want to know, we'll tell you about it. If we don't know about it, we might report it out! We're a small team, but we care about the things that you care about. And we're going to do it all. We're going to talk about it all because from here on out, Range is living out loud.

57:53Welcome to a place where dead dogs, communion wafers, pipe diameters and fluoride in the water live alongside important ongoing public testimony about the conduct of public officials and the ramifications of legislation passed by Spokaneās City Council. The Open Forum period at Spokane City Council meetings is a land of contrasts, playing host to a number of topics that, at first glance, might seem random or irrelevant. But for some activists and community members, the open forum period exists as a critical method of engagement with the city officials who hold power in Spokane. Last Monday, the council voted through a new set of rules for 2024, which included some sweeping changes to the way open forum is conducted. Council members say the goal of these changes is to prioritize time-sensitive city business and increase civic engagement, but activists fear they will limit free speech. Join host Luke Baumgarten as he interviews two city hall journalists, The Inlander's Nate Sanford and RANGE's own Erin Sellers, about the ins-and-outs of the controversial new rules and their possible implications.ā¦

57:43With temperatures climbing into the 90s in May and wildfire smoke already fouling air quality in some areas of the Northwest, RANGE wanted to learn more about what this unseasonably warm weather means for the rest of summer, the risks of heat-related illness in our community and the role climate change plays in driving extreme weather. So, RANGE out to Dr. Brian G. Henning, the Director of Gonzaga Center for Climate, Society, and the Environment and a professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at Gonzaga University. Youāll hear Dr. Henning talk about the importance of a healthy urban canopy ā a dense urban canopy ā to reduce what scientists call heat islands. Heat islands are hotspots in cities where rather than sunlight being absorbed by trees and used to power photosynthesis, which creates oxygen, and keeps ground temperatures cool, there are fewer or perhaps zero trees. So the heat reaches the ground, is absorbed by the concrete and asphalt, and that heat radiates, creating temperatures that are 14 degrees hotter in say, Hillyard than the tree-lined streets of the South Hill. Trees in Spokane will not fix climate change. Climate change is a global crisis that will require a global solution. But trees can help mitigate the local effects of that global crisis. And we need to do it now, because trees donāt grow to maturity over night. So then the obvious question is: what can we do today to help our neighbors survive and make our neighborhoods more resilient while we wait 20 years for that tree cover to grow? And what other steps can we take? All that and more in this episode.ā¦

Weāre back at you with a whole new podcast episode and itās only been ā¦ five months? Weāre still figuring out how to carve a sustainable podcast with all of our reporting work and limited staff, but weāve missed you ā and we know you missed Lukeās buttery podcast voice ā so we have a special episode! In November, we hosted our first-ever live podcast recording at the Central Library , where we got a panel together to talk about Ranked Choice Voting, and the attendees got to ask questions. Marilyn Darilek from League of Women Voters Spokane and Trenton Miller from FairVote WA joined Luke on stage to explain the ins and outs of Ranked Choice Voting and share about the process to get it adopted in municipalities all over the state. We even held a mock Ranked Choice Vote election on quality seasonal pies. Given how strongly people feel about pumpkin, apple and pecan, it was remarkably civil! Real quick: what is Ranked Choice Voting? In our current voting system, you get to place one vote for one person in any given election. Your only alternative to voting for one person is to vote for no one. Plenty of political scientists believe this system all but guarantees a two-party dominant system ā and that is certainly how it has played out in America. In ranked choice voting, though, as weāll hear explained in detail, you get to pick several candidates in order from the person you like the most to the person you like the least. And if you loathe someone so much, you can just not rank them at all. If your top choice has a chance of winning, that vote stays. If your top choice gets eliminated, your second choice gets your vote and so on, until one candidate has 50% plus 1 vote. Itās up to each of us to decide if RCV is something we want to fight for, but at the very least we should recognize the shortcomings of our current system. If you hear yourself saying āI like this person, but they canāt win, so I wonāt vote for themā ā then our system of voting is not working for you. Of course that doesnāt mean your candidate will always win. But shouldnāt we have a system where the best thing you can possibly do as a citizen is say, āI believe this is the best person to lead us, and thatās who Iām going to vote for?ā People who study ranked choice voting elsewhere believe that it leads to more pluralistic elections: thereās room for more parties and more political viewpoints when you can rank your favorites rather than voting for just one. And even if the two parties stick around for a while, the immediate benefit of ranked choice voting is that you still get to have a vote be a truer and more nuanced representation of your opinion about a race ā and therefore a more nuanced representation of how you think this city, this county, this state, this nation, ought to be run ā without feeling like youāre throwing away your vote on a candidate who is too good to be elected. The event went off without a hitch, and we look forward to doing many more. MASSIVE THANKS to our guests Marilyn Darilek from League of Women Voters and Trenton Miller from FairVote WA , and our friends at the Spokane Public Library who made this event possible: Shane Gronholz, Vanessa Strange, Andy Rumsey and Jason Johnson.ā¦

We also discuss the way these things get covered by the media: does the far-right get over-covered?

Thereās A LOT to unpack here, so weāre cutting the discussion up into two parts. We wanted to go through it methodically as an opportunity to document not just the people actively shaping politics in Kootenai County and the broader Inland Northwest, but the people who are promoting the region to hundreds of thousands of people nationwide.

At a lot of media companies, the crime beat is new reporter purgatory. This is probably your first job out of college: listen to scanner traffic and when something newsworthy happens, you run out and report it. In one sense, itās journalism on easy mode ā the stories literally come to you ā and in that sense, itās understandable to put a young reporter on it. But that inexperience creates a real imbalance between the journalist and power, asking the least experienced writers to hold their own against career law enforcement bureaucrats and professional communicators. And because thereās so much to cover, new reporters often only have time to get the police account of things, and rarely get a chance to actually follow up to see if the person arrested actually ends up facing trial. Youāre going to hear from two different young reporters, Rebecca White from KPBX and Valerie Osier, on the effects of this, and why, for the health of our communities and the mental health of young reporters, the crime beat has to go.ā¦
The Inland Northwest offers a unique glimpse into the future of the rest of the US in light of the expected overturn of Roe v. Wade & Planned Parenthood v. Casey, two landmark Supreme Court decisions that codified the federal right to an abortion. This is because there already arenāt any abortion clinics in North Idaho, so many abortion-seekers as far away as western Montana need to go over the border to Eastern Washington clinics. For years, over 40% of patients seeking abortions at border clinics run by Planned Parenthood have been from out of state. Recently, that number has jumped to over 50%. We talked to friend of the pod & Inlander reporter Samantha Wohlfeil about her recent cover story, " My Body, State's Choice? " what additional work Washington abortion clinics are preparing for the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Follow Samantha on Twitter .ā¦
Video games obviously donāt just come into being. Like any piece of art, they have creators. And we happen to know one right here in Spokane. A couple weeks ago we talked to Justin Baldwin, Creative Lead & Cofounder at Moonlight Kids . Heās one of the creators of a pretty popular indie game called The Wild at Heart. Itās described as cute and cozy, but it introduces important themes to kids and other users, like working through childhood trauma.

In todayās RANGE of Care, weāre continuing our talk on productive disagreements. Joining us is Inga Laurent, Professor of Law at Gonzaga who studies, theorizes and helps implement restorative justice practices in court systems and outside of judicial settings like schools. So how does the conversation from our last episode on productive disagreements in interpersonal relationships tie into a legal framework like restorative justice? Itās in the name: restorative. The point isnāt to cast a person out of society or community. The point is to encourage a conversation in which the person or people who were harmed can gain closure and those who did harm can make amends. If you want more of Ingaās insight, sheās an occasional columnist at The Inlander . Donāt forget to share this with a friend and if youāre able, become a member of RANGE for $10 per month.ā¦

1:06:55Weāre at the end of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and hopefully youāve had a chance to go to one of the many events hosted around town celebrating the rich and almost unfathomably diverse peoples and cultures represented. The majority of those events were put on by a coalition led by two organizations: APIC Spokane , whose mission is advocating for racial, social, and economic justice for Asians & Asian Americans in solidarity with Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and other systematically oppressed communities, and the Pacific Islander Community Association of WA an organization dedicated to establishing a cultural home, centering community power, and furthering the wellness of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities physically, culturally, socially and spiritually. These two partner organizations rallied around using this month to draw attention to their criticisms of the imposed category āAsian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander.ā The category groups wildly different cultures that span literally 40% of the globe, lumping together the American diaspora of over 60% of the worldās population ā everything from Bangladeshi-Americans to Tahitians ā in one category. So itās like, are we really spotlighting this incredible individual and cultural diversity by smashing them all into one month? And beyond that, youāll hear our guests, Ryann Louie and Sarah Dixit of APIC talk about how statistical aggregation papers over legacies of colonial violence and completely obscures real disparities in health outcomes and death for many Pacific Islander communities. There is a lot of excess death ā unnecessary death, preventable death ā happening that is not truly understood because of how we lump people together statistically. In this podcast, youāll hear about their efforts to push for race data disaggregation and why itās important. Youāll also hear what you can do to help, like not using aggregated terms, asking aggregated organizations if they do have NH/PI representation and simply following APIC and PICA on social media. ALSO, donāt miss the companion art show called āHidden in Plain Sightā that is only open for three more days, through May 28 at the new Terrain Gallery at 628 N. Monroe.ā¦
In the US, itās supposed to be āinnocent until proven guilty,ā but itās a routine part of our criminal legal system to imprison people while they await trial, causing them to lose their jobs, housing, access to transportation and more. This is a problem across America, and weāve covered it extensively on RANGE (see links below), but hereās a new wrinkle, courtesy of our friends at InvestigateWest. Whether or not you get access to pretrial services, which often requires home monitoring, drug testing and other costly programs, largely depends on the jurisdiction youāre in. Some counties have no services at all. In others, the defendant is responsible for the cost of those services ā such as ankle monitors, which can run $500 per month ā effectively keeping the most destitute people in jail. Even in counties where services are offered, the costs can be drastically different depending on what part of the county youāre arrested in. Thatās the situation in Spokane, where getting arrested in the City of Spokane gives defendants free access to many more services than people arrested for the same crime in other parts of the county. We talked to Wilson Criscione, a reporter from InvestigateWest, who covered this issue extensively in the first article for their project called ā Justice by Geography .ā In it, he told us the story of Amber Letchworth, a Washington woman who was pulled over and arrested after a police officer found a dirty baggy containing meth on her car floor. She couldnāt pay for bail, so while waiting in jail for the next few weeks, she lost her home and access to a car. She pleaded guilty to felony drug possession in an effort to get out of jail sooner. But she still left jail homeless and lost her financial aid for college because of her felony record. Amber had been mourning the death of her grandmother and was not in a good place. On paper, she was a good candidate for pretrial diversion, but no diversion took place, and she spiraled, for a time, to an even darker place. Had she been diverted to mental health or addiction treatment, her arrest may not have started her on a path to drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, and more arrests. There are two bitter ironies in this case, one personal, one systemic: The drug charge that set this whole chain of events in motion has since been vacated after State v. Blake ā a State Supreme Court decision last year that ruled Washingtonās simple possession law unconstitutional . But the real kicker is that Asotin County is one of the counties that actually HAS pretrial services ā on paper anyway ā but the program administrator had retired and the remote, rural county hadnāt been able to find a replacement. This story is crucial as we examine the disproportionate effects of our criminal legal system and what can be done to lift more people out of it. Wilson and Luke talk about the current patchwork system of pretrial services in Washington and how they play out differently in Spokane compared to the rest of Spokane County.

Today weāre talking about productive disagreements: why we need them, what they look like and how to have them. Itās not whether or not we agree or disagree that is the issue, but how we do it and how we teach the next generations how they can disagree productively and empathetically. Meg and Ingrid talk about some of our first experiences with disagreements from a developmental perspective: toddlers who disagree with their parents on eating their peas or going to bed, kids who disagree with their classmates that pink is the best when they really like yellow, and teenagers who disagree with their parents that 9 p.m. is a reasonable curfew. What we learn at a developmental level at those agesā what our parents teach us on how much our voice matters and how to have empathyā shapes how we approach disagreements on much bigger issues when weāre older. It shapes if we feel safe disagreeing with others or if we feel safe going against the grain. Disagreement is a fundamental part of our government and democracy. And our ability to disagree directly correlates with our ability to advocate. To be clear: weāre not ever saying that peopleās humanity is up for disagreement. Nor are we saying that people of marginalized communities and identities need to be doing this work or subject themselves to being the object of someoneās anger. Itās those in the dominant cultureā white, cisgender folksā whoās responsibility it is to be leading this bigger change. Meg and Ingrid talk about a few ways to do this on a micro level. Here are a few, but be sure to listen to the episode to get the full picture: Teach your children how to disagree safely and hold space for disagreements. Start monitoring your own physical and emotional reactions to things you disagree with. Start small, with people you already feel safe with. Take a pause if you start to recognize deregulation in your body.

Itās hosted by Meg Curtain Rey-Bear, a Spokane psychotherapist, and Ingrid Price, a Spokane child psychotherapist. Luke usually chimes in too because he canāt help himself.

Happy birthday to us! Is that weird to say? We hope not because weāre excited to still be going strong a whole TWO years after Luke decided to start a podcast in his attic. We asked you, dear readers/listeners, to send us your questions for our very first reader mailbagā and you all delivered! We got questions about wildfires, climate change, county commissioners, the housing market, crime, and a lot more. We did our best to answer as many as we could in the time we had, but some will need their own original reporting. In this episode, we also shared with you whatās been going on with RANGE, formally introduced our Audience and Membership Editor Valerie Osier and what the heck she does, and told you all about our hopes and dreams for this fledgling publication.
