On the podcast this week, we take a break from our typical format to listen to an Iowa Ideas 2023 panel: Navigating Iowa’s Culture Wars.

On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to re-create the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day's deadlines have been met.

This week’s show is hosted by Erin Murphy, the Des Moines Bureau Chief for The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, and features an Iowa Ideas panel moderated by Gazette Columnist Todd Dorman with panelists Stacey Kimberlin, Director of DEI Planning for CultureALL, and Keenan Crow, Director of Policy and Advocacy at One Iowa.
