This podcast quickly rose to the top of my “must listen” list. It’s informative and kind of leaves you wanting to hear more.
ITR Live is both informative and fun. Chris and his guests talk about important topics, but yet they have fun. Chris and John seem like they have been on the “radio” for a long time. Great information on Iowa and national politics.

ITR podcast is a small part of the great work they do in looking out for Iowa tax payers. The podcast format offers a mix of current news, tax policy discussion and in depth summary of reports and research completed by ITR.
I am thankful for the work of ITR and look forward to each new podcast as they are released.
Great lively conversation - perfect for fiscal conservatives.
The free flowing back and forth of the conversation kept me engaged.
It was also great to hear what is REALLY going on inside the capitol.

A fiscally conservative, policy-forward discussion focused on Iowa politics, tax policy, and government accountability. Regular hosts break down state legislation, budget dynamics, and school funding with practical impact for taxpayers, often tying polling, elections, and regulatory changes to real wallet effects. Unique strengths include a clear emphasis on taxpayer protections (like tax-limiting amendments and school choice), bluntly analyzing fiscal notes, and a knack for translating complex policy into actionable insight for listeners who want to understand how decisions at the capitol affect their budgets and local communities.
