The Bonner Breakdown

The Bonner Breakdown is a long-form interview show highlighting guests from across the Idaho Panhandle. We focus on discovering people's stories, history, organization, and motives. We use very few pre-scripted questions, and allow the conversation to flow openly in order to have great conversations, create connection and celebrate the great things happening in North Idaho.
