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.
