In the early 1900s, white people in Moscow, Idaho expelled a small community of Chinese residents. KUNC's Robyn Vincent reports on how that racist event still has ripple effects for people of color in the community today.
We also learn about the approaching annual ritual of the elk rut — the sound of elk bulls cruising for a date in the Rocky Mountains. Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s big game manager Andy Holland fills us in.
And, we hear how restaurants are handling staff shortages as consumer spending in the food and service industry returns to pre-pandemic levels. Kevin Grossi, chef and owner of The Regional restaurant in Fort Collins, and Denise Mickelsen, communication director for the Colorado Restaurant Association, join us to discuss.
