MOSES LAKE — On this week's episode of the STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Managing Editor R. Hans "Rob" Miller and Senior Reporter Cheryl Schweizer discuss the ongoing issues with the Moses Lake School District, including an odd sidebar relating to the Grant County Morgue. Miller also discusses the fire safety publication, "Living in Wildfire Country" which was released this week and the "Strength of the Basin'' publication released this week as well. The fire publication provides news and tools on combating wildfires while Strength highlights several people around the Columbia Basin that are working hard to contribute to their communities in a positive manner.

In sports, Sports Reporter Ian Bivona breaks down last weekend's Earl Barden Classic, the ACH Senior Legion baseball team sweeping East Valley and the WA Golf Men's Amateur Championship held in Moses Lake last week.
