Ever wonder why the buildings on BYU-Idaho’s campus were named after people like Jacob Spori, Eliza R. Snow or Thomas E. Ricks?

Through short, story-driven episodes, the podcast highlights the school’s founders whose faith and vision continue to influence the university’s campus culture and its mission to build disciple leaders of Jesus Christ.
