Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Do Good Conversations September 1, 2026 - Ron Abramovich
Q: What role do snowpacks and basins like the Lost River play in Idaho's water system?
Snowpack acts as the main store of water, feeding rivers in spring as it melts and replenishing reservoirs; basins like the Lost River illustrate how groundwater and surface water interact—water can travel underground for many years before surfacing again, making recharge areas and timing critical for long-term water security and infrastructure planning.
Do Good Conversations September 1, 2026 - Ron Abramovich
Q: How does El Niño typically affect snowfall and rainfall in the West?
Historically, El Niño tends to shift winter storms toward the southern part of the United States, but in the West it often brings warmer storms that can increase rain rather than snow in lower elevations while boosting snowfall at higher elevations and in certain basins; the exact pattern varies by year and global conditions, so forecasts try to blend multiple model outputs to gauge likely moisture delivery and timing.
Do Good Conversations September 1, 2026 - Ron Abramovich
Q: What is the difference between an El Niño and a super El Niño?
El Niño is a warming of ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, with its strength graded from neutral to strong (up to two degrees Celsius above normal). A 'super' El Niño would be an especially strong event, potentially pushing temperatures and storm patterns well above typical expectations, which could lead to warmer, wetter winters in some regions and more extreme conditions overall.
Do Good Conversations August 25, 2026 - Jonathan Krutz
Q: What historical moment sparked Krutz's involvement in gambling policy?
A 1995 Nebraska hearing on slot machines at horse tracks revealed how policy discussions can be swayed by rhetoric and money, leading him to advocate for honest debate and regulatory scrutiny.
Do Good Conversations August 25, 2026 - Jonathan Krutz
Q: How widespread is addiction-driven revenue in gambling, and what does the research say?
Studies, including Massachusetts, indicate a large share of gambling revenue comes from players showing signs of addiction, with estimates suggesting up to 90% of revenue in some markets, though data collection is complicated by industry funding.
