The life of a working showgirl, Nevada’s nuclear future, and National Guard recruitment.

This week freelance reporter Savanna Strott has a story about showgirls in Las Vegas. Once regarded as an art form, today’s showgirls say their hustle is a sales job — and they want more respect for their business. After that, host Joey Lovato interviews Taylor Wilson, a nuclear scientist based in Reno who, at age 14, built a nuclear reactor in his parents’ garage. At the end of the show, KUNR and Mountain West News Bureau reporter Kaleb Roedel has a short story about National Guard recruitment in Nevada.
