2025/10/07

50 years ago, Reno hosted the first gay rodeo, an opportunity for LGBTQ participants and fans to enjoy the rodeo in a more inclusive and accepting environment. Since then, the International Gay Rodeo Association has helped put on gay rodeo events across the county. Reno hasn't hosted the event for almost 2 decades but this coming weekend, October 9-12, the rodeo will return to the Livestock Events Center for the 50th year since the event's founding.On this episode, I spoke with Brian Helander and

Spooky Season has arrived and one of the best ways for scare enthusiasts to get the most out of it is to spend some time getting chased by monsters and zombies and horrors of all kinds (without ever being in real danger.) And of course the best place to do that is at a haunted house. Northern Nevada's premiere haunted house, Dark Corner, is moving this year from the National Bowling Stadium into the decommissioned state penitentiary in Carson City and becoming Dark Prison.On this episode of

As the media landscape changes and we deal with new ways to get news and information, broadcast television still plays an important role. The national 24-hour cable networks aren't equipped to report on issues that are specific to Northern Nevada, and even as more news moves online, local news shows play an indispensable part.Not all that news needs to be heavy or serious or focused on things like crime and disasters. There's also room for lifestyle content that highlights nonprofits and events and

For any business or nonprofit or government agency, it is very important to be able to tell the story about what you do and why it matters. It is important to relay information clearly and in a culturally appropriate way. In a state like Nevada, with one of the highest Spanish speaking populations in the United States, that can mean providing evacuation instructions for wildfires, or during covid it meant ensuring that information about prevention and vaccines had to be accurate.For local media, it

Nevada has an unusual legislative calendar, in which our legislature doesn’t meet every year, but every other year. And they don’t meet the entire year either- the session is only 120 days. 120 days to do all the lawmaking for a state of millions of people. Obviously, these are busy times and there is a lot going on. Thankfully, our guest on this episode is political reporter Lucia Starbuck from KUNR.

Greg Kidd on Running for Congress in Northern Nevada

2024/10/09

Many Northern Nevadans have gotten used to seeing sitting Congressman Mark Amodei defeat whichever Democrat runs against him in Congressional District 2. Because this is a Republican-leaning district, the Democratic Party has never invested significant resources in those races. However, this year Amodei won't face a Democratic challenger at all. Instead, his primary competition will be Greg Kidd, a Non-Partisan candidate with a background in business, finance, and technology. Kidd is self-funding

Two years ago, Nevadans voted on a ballot measure to change our primary system. Instead of party primaries which exclude participation for nonpartisan voters (the largest group- larger than either major party), the Nevada Constitution would be changed to have a single open primary for all registered voters, regardless of party. The initiative would also change the general election to introduce ranked choice voting, a system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference instead of being
