Episode Details

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel speaks with Dave Wagers, president - and "Candyman" - of the Idaho Candy Company, makers of the famous "Idaho Spud" candy bar. In this interview from June 30, 2021, we go deep on the company’s history and its place in the contemporary culture of the Gem State. Special thanks to Preservation Idaho for posting a photo on Facebook of the Idaho Candy Company’s Boise, ID facility earlier today. That image inspired this trip into the CASCADE OF HISTORY audio archives.
