    Policing, Politics & Kratom:Former Captain Seth Green on Crime, Leadership, and North Idaho's Future

    In this episode of the North Idaho Experience, we sit down with Seth Green — former Captain of the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about law enforcement, local politics, and the drug crisis reshaping North Idaho communities. Seth walks us through the harrowing active shooter attack at the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office — a gripping, real-time account of heroism, split-second decisions, and what understaffed law enforcement looks like in a crisis. He breaks down the political upheaval inside Shoshone County, including controversial budget cuts, a revolving door of leadership, and the real cost of underpaying rural deputies. We also dig into the growing Kratom crisis — a legal, gas-station drug that Seth says is as addictive as heroin — and why law enforcement is sounding the alarm. Plus: political polarization, the dangers of partisan extremism in local government, and why Seth believes civil discourse — not culture war — is the answer. Seth also previews his new law enforcement venture and the launch of Idaho Court Watch, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) designed to keep citizens informed on judicial candidates. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about public safety, local Idaho politics, and the future of policing in North Idaho. ⚠️ Content Warning: Detailed description of an active shooter incident.

    Mark Fitzpatrick | Former Cop Running for Idaho Governor on Truth, Taxes & Taking a Stand

    Former cop, entrepreneur, and Old State Saloon owner Mark Fitzpatrick sits down with the North Idaho Experience podcast to share why he's challenging incumbent Governor Brad Little in Idaho's Republican primary. With a background in law enforcement (Newport Beach PD, 1999–2014), a son of a 40-year LAPD veteran, and decades of entrepreneurial experience from California to North Idaho, Fitzpatrick explains why he believes Idaho's "red" state status is a facade — and what he plans to do about it. In this powerful interview, Mark breaks down the real problems facing Idaho taxpayers, exposes what he sees as corruption and lack of transparency in the current governor's office, and outlines his bold vision for a people-first, transparent government. From eliminating wasteful bureaucracy on Day 1 to hosting open-door town halls with a free taco bar, Fitzpatrick makes the case that Idaho deserves an outsider willing to tell the hard truth. Whether you're a lifelong Idahoan, a recent transplant fleeing high-tax states, or just someone tired of career politicians, this episode will make you think — and maybe even make you believe change is possible. 🗓️ The Idaho Republican Primary is May 19th — and in a state this red, that IS the real election. 👍 If you found value in this conversation, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE — it's the greatest compliment you can pay us here at North Idaho Experience. 🛠 For Real Estate Services or Questions: Contact us at seth@nidexperience.com Phone: 208-618-4421 For the most up-to-date real estate listings check out our North Idaho Experience mobile app - click above to start searching today! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-idaho-experience/id6755906887 Grab our Relocation Guide: https://sholink.to/Relocation Your Ultimate Selling Game Plan guide: https://sholink.to/Sellerguide 📍 Visit our website for more resources, real estate listings, and local content: https://northidahoexperience.com 👤 🍺 Learn more about Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho and follow Mark's campaign online. https://www.markfitzidaho.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldstatemark/ This podcast is for informational purposes only, and we do not endorse or support any political candidates or campaigns. 💼 Interested in sponsoring a future episode or collaborating with us?
