Idaho Is Waging A War On Its Wolves

NPR | By Troy Oppie
Published May 21, 2021 at 4:13 PM EDT

Troy Oppie grew up playing trombone in Seattle, developing an interest in jazz at an early age thanks to many great music teachers. That interest in music became an interest in radio, and Troy was eventually blessed with an opportunity to host overnight jazz programming on KPLU-FM in Seattle for nearly five years.
