Make-A-Wish Iowa Podcast With Nichole

Childrens charities have always been near and dear to my heart since me and my co-host on the morning show when I was on the air in Waterloo/Cedar Falls started a childrens charity that is still going strong after 27 years. A few weeks ago Make A Wish Iowa made a presentation at The Newton Rotary Club and I was very impressed. I had know about Make A Wish but didn't have much of an idea of how they found the kids who had the wishes and how they were granted. In this podcast I speak with Nichole who started out as a volunteer for Make A Wish and now is a full time spokesperson for Make A Wish. She gives us an overview of what Make A Wish is all about, gives us an idea of some of the stories behind some of the wishes granted and how the wishes are funded. As you will hear this is a busy time of year for Make a Wish with wishes being granted but they need your donations to keep going. Please give a listen to Nichole and hear her story and the stories of the kids and how Make A Wish put's smiles on the childrens faces. And, if you can, do what you can to help with this fine organization.

Newton Salvation Army Podcast

In this podcast I speak with Newton Salvation Army Captain Tim North. Unfortunately many folks don't think of The Salvation Army this time of year. At Christmas they do because of the belling ringing Red Kettle campaign. But not usually in the summer months. That's why I decided to do this podcast. In our conversation we talk about the history of the Salvation Army in Newton and in the United States. He also gives us an overview of The Salvation Army Food Pantry and The Thrift Story. He also tells us with the summer warmer weather how The Salvation Army can help to keep folks cool and with utility bills on a limited basis.

Newton Mayor Randy Ervion On The New AU Chemical Plant

In this podcast I speak with Randy Ervin about the new AU Chemical plant. In this podcast I throw the questions at Randy that many folks around the community have been asking about. What kind of chemicals with the plant be producing? Are the tax breaks the AU will be recieving really worth the 27 jobs that the company will be creating? Will our water bills being going up with the water that the company will be using? Will the city have to be providing new infrastructure for the facility? And many more questions. In the podcast the Mayor, from the outset of the interview, gives his contact information on how you can reach him if you have any other questions or concerns about the AU chemical plant.

Iowa State Fair Preview Podcast

WHO Radio is and always has been involved in the Iowa State Fair. And, one of the neat things about being The Morning Show Producer at WHO Radio is that every morning I get to hear about all the preperation going on at the fair when Morning Host Jeff Angelo talks with State Fair Marketing Director Mindy Williamson about preperations for the fair. On this podcast I speak with Mindy about all the preperations for this years fair. I know the fair isn't until August but they already have lots of exciting plans for this years fair which runs August 13th through August 23rd. By the way, when you're at the fair make sure you stop by the WHO Crystal Studios. You may see me and you might end up with some WHO swag and make sure you watch some of our live radio shows that we have going on at the fair at The Crystal Studios.
