Munsons at the MoviesEp. 127 - Oliver Platt (feat. Cori Wallace)The Munsons are joined by guest Munson, Cori Wallace, to dive into the wonderfully eclectic and quietly impressive career of Oliver Platt.

From there, we explore how Platt’s childhood spent traveling the world with his diplomat father, along with a Morgan Freeman monologue, helped him fall in love with acting and build community wherever he landed.
We marvel at the glorious mane he debuted in Workin...

Our guests: It's time to give the students more of a voice in this discussion. What have they remembered most from all our conversations with U.S.-China watchers? What are their hopes and fears for this crucial bilateral relationship? The 18 students of Professor David Skidmore's class weigh in with a variety of heartfelt insight.

JustGoBikeEpisode 172: Bike Buying & Repair Tips for 2021 with the Ridgways of Bike WorldThe father-son team of Forrest and Bif Ridgway of Bike World--close friends to RAGBRAI for decades--sit down with co-host Kyle Munson at the bicycle retailer's headquarters in West Des Moines to give us a preview of the bicycle market in 2021. In short, this is going to be another wild year in the industry, after last year's pandemic spurred a tidal wave of new riders onto bikes (that's a good thing), leading to bike shortages (not so great, but we do love to see more people pedaling). Our discussion includes: (1) the 2021 bike backlog and how to approach it as a buyer, (2...

U.S.-China: Searching for Common GroundBiden and the pandemic: Thomas Wright of BrookingsThe topic: How will--and should--the Biden administration go about fashioning its policies across the range of issues that make up U.S.-China relations? Should we expect major shifts compared to the approach of the Trump presidency? What can we glean from the views and backgrounds of Biden's key advisers? How might domestic politics impact policy-making toward China? Just what sort of challenge does China present to the U.S. and our allies?

U.S.-China: Searching for Common GroundCitizen diplomacy: Kim HeidemannThe topic: U.S.-China relations rest upon more than the formalized chess moves of presidents and diplomats. Far greater in scope and depth are the people-to-people exchanges in business, education, arts and culture, journalism, nonprofits, tourism, and so much more. These societal ties provide ballast for U.S.-China relations even when the political situation is at its most tense. Iowa's people-to-people connections with China are particularly strong and extend back nearly half a century, continuing a tradition in which Iowa also helped to play a moderating force with the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold...

How can the dangers of military conflict and escalation be controlled as disputes related to the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and Taiwan play themselves out? What are the roles to be played by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other coalitions? Can a security architecture be constructed that reconciles the core interests of all players?

Yet China has become an increasingly difficult place for American journalists as Chinese authorities have denied visas, placed restrictions on activities, and leveled criticism at Western media coverage of China. In turn, Chinese journalists have been forced to leave the United States. How do American journalists on the China beat cope with such challenges? How can outsiders gain information about such charged stories as the expanding detention camps in Xinjiang?

Do Chinese leaders seek to overturn the basic rules and institutions of the existing international order? Do they wish to challenge the global leadership of the United States?

The Iowan's routine bike ride in central Iowa on this fateful morning in August left him in the middle of an historic storm--a derecho, or inland hurricane, with winds of more than 100 miles per hour that flattened corn fields, peeled roofs off houses and toppled trees. Co-host Kyle Munson talks with Nicholson about how he survived the storm on his bike, what he witnessed, and what he thinks about experiencing one of the legendary bike rides of 2020.

Journalists Are My HeroesBillionaires Alone Can't Save Journalism, with Matthew HansenThis finale for Season 1 of Journalists Are My Heroes finds me looking in the mirror: Matthew Hansen recently wrapped his tenure as metro columnist at the Omaha World-Herald. Like me, he's a child of the rural Midwest who ended up working as a columnist in his native state's largest newsroom. Also like me, he recently stepped out of journalism to flex his skills in the world of content marketing; he's now managing editor for the Buffett Early Childhood Institute. Like any good journalist given plenty of leash, Hansen in his 16 years at the World-Herald followed his whims far and wide...

Among the team that launched the site is none other than former Fox News political reporter Carl Cameron.

Journalists Are My HeroesCaught in the Viral News Vortex With Larrison Campbell of Mississippi TodayLarrison Campbell is a political reporter whose coverage for nonprofit news org Mississippi Today has an emphasis on public health. Her summer, meanwhile, has had an emphasis on viral news. That's because a married male gubernatorial candidate in Mississippi denied her a ride-along to cover him on the campaign trail unless Campbell and her editor agreed to send a male reporter as chaperone; the candidate feared that political opponents might exploit images of the two of them together for attack ads. That sparked a firestorm of debate over gender equity, "the Billy Graham rule," the #metoo movement, and a...
