The Purple Zone

history, government, education · EN

Hosted by Alexis Morgan, The Purple Zone explores how governance, public institutions, community, and history shape the places we call home. Through conversations, storytelling, and policy analysis, the podcast connects local experiences to larger civic and political currents--from education, healthcare, and governance to culture, identity, and institutional change. Rooted in Idaho but reaching far beyond it, The Purple Zone is less about hot takes and more about understanding how communities evolve, how decisions shape everyday life, and what it means to participate in civic life together. Alexis Morgan is a PhD candidate in public policy and administration, longtime community participant, advocate, and civic storyteller.
