In this week’s episode we talk about the importance of representation in TV and Movies with Iowa City film maven Nick Messersmith. We then talk to Assistant City Manager, Rachel Kilburg, about what it takes to run a city. Rachel also tells us about what makes a Gregory Alan Isakov show so special.
The episode features music by Gossip Cult, Alex Body, and “Holy Ghost” by Good Morning Midnight for our Song of the Week.
