The fact that @LastWeekTonight played a recording of the Supreme Court this past Sunday and did not bring back the Dog Supreme Court to provide visuals is a crime worthy of the Dog Supreme Court.

Mesa hosted the Muddy Princess 5K fun run this past weekend. Women ages 7 and up experienced obstacles and, of course, mud in this once-a-year experience.

Criminal women have been around for centuries. But only two robbed a stage coach in the United States. One of those robberies happened right here in Arizona. As part of Valley 101's series Arizona HERstory, I tell the tale of 'Bandit Queen' Pearl Hart.

I covered the 35th anniversary of the AZ Ren Fest this past weekend for a class at ASU. Such an immersive event!

I have a soft spot when it comes to animals. And thanks to a listener, I got curious about what animals in Arizona's backyard are native to the state. I also wanted to see what native Arizonan critters are in need of our help.

Metrocenter holds a special place in a lot of people's hearts here in the Valley. Many grew up going to that mall. So many firsts at this 80-acre shopping center. With demolition scheduled to start in the next couple months, we ask ourselves, what's next?

Past results would say that young voters don't vote. But this group told The Gaggle they plan to show up for the upcoming midterms. Could this year's elections see a record number of young people? Hear what they have to say:
