As the new executive director of the State Board of Education, Joshua Whitworth has one of the most high-profile jobs in state government.

He also has one of the most varied resumes in state government: from ranching and college football to party politics and tracking the state’s finances.

In this podcast, Kevin Richert and Ryan Suppe talk to Whitworth about his background, and his plans in his new post.

Idaho Education News’ Kevin Richert has closely followed this story for months, breaking news and fighting for the public’s right to know.
