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 The Gazette’s Aaron Murphy, Jared McNett of the Sioux City Journal, Gazette Opinion Editor Todd Dorman, and a fond farewell to Amie Rivers of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

The show was produced by Stephen M. Colbert, and the music heard on the podcast is courtesy of Iowa bands Copperhead and Kelly Pardekooper.
