Amie here, and I wanted to quickly plug Cornhole Champions, a Starting Line podcast featuring Zachary Oren Smith, Avery Staker, and me talking about Iowa politics and other relevant news of the week (and cracking each other up, also).
This week: Zachary’s out on PTO, so we decided to record early and talk candidly about our own journalism careers, the stories that shaped us over the years, and why we believe local reporting matters now more than ever.
Plus: We debate Iowa cuisine: the pork tenderloins, Maid-Rites, and the “turkey and dressing sandwich” that Zachary didn’t know was a thing (OK, and maybe me!).
Check it out on Substack, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
