So you want to move to the Treasure Valley? We get it! There are so many amazing things about Idaho! However, this is not utopia. We have real struggles, from our natural environment to our unprecedented growth. Discussions about some of the negative aspects of the Boise area are important to set realistic expectations for newcomers. From our housing shortage to fly season, health care realities to limitations on outdoor recreation. Shane and Natalie sit down and riff on some of the things you might want to know before heading this direction.

Did you realize there's a national home improvement/house-flipping TV show based in our city? No? Well, we're excited to put you in the know! The Boise Boys is a unique HGTV gem that highlights Boise, tangibly raises the bar of home offerings, and gives us a good chuckle in the process. In this episode we meet with co-creators and partners Luke Caldwell and Clint Robertson to talk about the show, give us a behind-the-scenes look into making a TV show while trying to run a business, and offer a sneak peak into their next project that will have a genuine positive impact on our city and entertain us along the way.

Ikea. Nordstrom. IN-N-OUT!

Living in the fastest growing city in America means….development! In this second installment of our conversation with Boise Dev’s Don Day, we chat about what development is coming to the Boise area. Which national businesses he expects to see. And those he does not plan on heading our direction. We discuss the new growth in Meridian Downtown including it’s new urban living center, Old Town Lofts. We chat about our favorite new 8th Street Restaurant, news on Topgolf and “The Boardwalk” - the newest project to come to Garden City.

Also… what’s happening with the huge field on Fairview and Eagle across from The Village at Meridian? We also talk on on the multifaceted issue of affordable housing in the Treasure Valley.

After the episode, keep listening. We have a bonus micro episode with Marc, the Volkswagen of Boise’s fun coordinator. He was a REALLY bad salesman. And he tells us why. ;)
