Please subscribe on YouTube! 😊 https://www.youtube.com/@ifafpod?sub_confirmation=1 This week! Did a racist relic make it into the Eastern Idaho State Fair? Mike and Karley examine the disturbing history behind "gator bait" and more innocent tourist trap role reversal roadside attraction art. Rich Broadcasting, a major radio group in East Idaho, suffers an embarrassing hit as they get kicked out of their own studios for not paying over half a million dollars worth of rent. Mike throws the usual shade at subjects new and old including rusty radio rejects, desperate networking groups, and Bill Worst and his Badvertising Agency. We also examine Paul Baker's quote insisting that businesses who aren't members of the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce are just freeloading off those that are. And IFAF investigates how other Chambers nationwide are dying off and going away because it's a 250 year old idea and today in 2026 we have Facebook groups and LinkedIn and networking clubs. Plus Coyote vs. Acme, a snake gun coin purse, and our last Le Labo fragrance dalliance. Upcoming events include this Thursday through Saturday September 17-19 the Parade of Homes, this Friday September 18 the Masquerade Ball at the Idaho Falls Zoo, next weekend September 24-26 the Vintage Market Days of Eastern Idaho at the Eastern Idaho State Fairgrounds, also next weekend September 25-26 the East Idaho Fall Home Show at the Mountain America Center.
