Customer Reviews
Looking forward to more
This is a very helpful discussion of what the Iowa Democratic Party needs to do to resurrect itself in rural Iowa. Ruby and Soren have a good rapport, and it’s a very pleasant podcast to listen to—pretty good audio quality, good cadence, good editing. I just wish they had more episodes.
Well Done!
This is a podcast for those who are passionate about Iowa politics. It is unique in that it drills down to a specific point on the map, while reflecting the essence of rural Iowa political behaviors and beliefs.
