Banning Books. A Good Idea for Recruitment & Retention of Workers?
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
Thursday Aug 10, 2023
It's a bit confusing. At a time when the State of Iowa is having worker shortages in nearly every segment from teachers to tech the government here doubles down on a host of issues that drive people away or think twice about relocating to the state. It's truly a business issue. Here we sit down with Sara Parris who is with the rather new group known as Annie's Foundation. Five Moms who have decided to push back on the issue of banning books. Not just in schools but also in public libraries. There's a bunch going on...have a listen.

Ending Hunger Tomorrow and How - Meet Aubrey Alvarez
Monday Apr 24, 2023
Monday Apr 24, 2023
She says that if we really wanted to end hunger we could do that tomorrow if only grocery stores and convenience stores would stop tossing good food in the garbage. That according to Aubrey Alvarez from Eat Greater Des Moines. Some facts: In Iowa alone some some 550.000 tons of good food is sent to the landfill each year and according to the USDA food waste accounts to 30 - 40% of what American's throw away...all of which could feed families in need. Once you hear this conversation you'll not look at food in the same way. Let's go!
