Three things today:

First, here is a link to our conversation with former WHO TV political director Dave Price. He recently left his position with the station - not an uncommon occurrence for a popular TV personality in a market the size of Des Moines. Rather than leave for a job in a larger metro area, Price is opting to stay in Iowa. We’ll find out what he’s thinking about and get his take on his new column with the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative. Here is your link for today (starting at noon central time):DAVE PRICE ZOOM CALL LINKSUZANNA DE BACA Today's podcast post above is from our conversation with Suzanna de Baca, President of Business Publications. Suzanna is also hitting her stride with the Iowa Writers’ Collaborative as a columnist and poet. How do the two blend together? What are the issues facing businesses in the metro area? Take a listen.
