What goes up, must come down and that's what happened today on Wall Street as the Dow fell by 280 points in the final hour of trading. That and these stories for you today:
- Denim maker Levi Strauss saw sales tank;
- COVID19 and falling home prices in some cities;
- You really, really like Disney+ it seems;
- He took a knee now he's working with Disney;
- Gold prices are going up;
- In New Jersey you can pray but not see movies;
- The Wall Street Report;
- ICE says they will deport foreign students...no, really.
Thanks for listening!
Lordy, lordy...he's back! Jeff Pitts from Cityview has been gone from our Friday "Stuff to DO" briefing as the staff from Cityview took some COVID19 time off. Now the crew is back on duty and here Jeff rejoins us as we talk about stuff to do online...like an online film festival from our friends at the Interrobang Film Festival. Or how about an opera from Des Moines Metro Opera. And, nope, not in Italian but in French! Those things and much more. Enjoy, have a laugh or two...you deserve it.

Sometimes, when listening to the radio or television commercial, we forget about the work that goes into making the audio work...just right. Meet voice actor Abi Horton who has the interesting back-story of being raised by an American father and a British mother and is able to work both accents into her career. Here we talk about getting work, working with clients and agencies and the three ways in which voice actors market themselves. Have some fun and meet our newest friend Abi Horton and her website is here.
