Podcast By George this week continued its mission to bring a true left-wing perspective to what George terms The Big Three: Climate, War, and Healthcare. Former USMC Captain and State Department official Mathew Hoh was on the PBG Liveline talking about Gaza. On Wednesday, Jami Rae Wallace from East Palestine, Ohio made a plea for healthcare (and more) for residents still struggling in East Palestine, Ohio.
Iowa Revolution is hosted by award-winning radio broadcaster Spencer Dirks, and he and Robert Leonard (aka Bob, or Dr. Bob) discuss news, politics, sports, and much, much more. The duo returns with Episode 27: Vivek vs. Grinnell Police. Israel vs. Hamas. Twins vs. Astros. Top 5 Iowa Actors. Also, people still love Trump for some ungodly reason, Iowa Mama Bear ain’t so tough, and Price is Right is coming to Cedar Rapids. (Come on down!)
Julie Gammack’s Iowa Potluck offers a weekly Monday Zoom call at noon, and since it is a video digital product, it’s a broader part of the Iowa Podcasters’ Collaborative. This week listen to a conversation with Admiral Michael Franken about foreign affairs.
