Jonnie Wright From Homeless to Hero

Right after the top business stories of the day we sat down with our friend Jonnie Wright for a conversation about his Christmas Eve experiment of giving. Dressed as a homeless person and panhandling in Des Moines and Ames Jonnie found some amazing stories about humanity and we tie that all into a business lesson.  Jonnie Wright from the Buyosphere and a wonderful story.Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is a production of our advertising agency, Insight Advertising, Marketing & Communications and you can connect with us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and our Facebook Page is right here.  We're live, Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines

Non-Christians and Christmas

It's the Christmas Day Special from The News Hour.  We hope you and your family had a wonderful celebration.What about those people who don't celebrate the religious portion of December 25th?  Today we visited with three of them.  Our first guest is "Realist" Bruce Stone.  He doesn't have much time for religion of any form.  Then we asked our friend Mark Finkelstein from the Jewish Community Relations Commission to talk about Jews and Christmas...and  is it true Jews celebrate with Chinese and a movie?  And then our newest friend Baljit Singh from the Sikh Temple of Des Moines. How does he, and his family, mark the day.An interesting discussion...  Thanks for coming by for a listen.Insight on Business with Michael Libbie is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.

Christmas Eve Traditions 24 December 2013

It's Christmas Eve at The News Hour and we thought it might be interesting to listen to various Christmas Traditions from several Des Moines religious leaders along with some music of the season.Leading off is Father Basil Hickman from the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George and the traditions of his branch of Christianity.  Then we listen to Rev. Ryan Arnold from the First Christian Church about his bringing up and his congregational celebration of music for Christmas.  We close with Father Mark Owusu from St. Catherine of Siena on the Drake Campus.  An interesting journey for this man from Ghana and he talks about the celebration there and...here.Insight on Business the News Hour is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  Thanks for listening and Merry Christmas.
