In an episode from another great Politico show, On the Road, Jonathan Martin sits down with Iowa gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand at the Iowa State Fair to talk politics over a pork tenderloin and a deep-fried Twinkie. Sand, a Democrat running in a state that has shifted sharply to the right, makes the case that Iowa voters are fed up with one-party control, corruption and politics as usual. He discusses why Democrats have lost ground in rural America, whether the party has become too focused on insiders and national politics, and how he would govern with a Republican legislature. Sand also weighs in on the future of the Democratic Party, his unlikely friendships with Republican governors — and his brief career as a model.

Scrutiny over USDA beef export data, the latest developments surrounding beef imports from other countries and what the next 90 days could mean for the U.S. cattle industry are discussed on today's episode. We also hear how one person's joyful presence across social media is encouraging more people to get involved in agriculture. Top agriculture headlines this week include the ongoing U.S.-Canada trade dispute, with Canada set to impose new tariffs shortly after Labor Day and some duties expected to reach 50%. In the beef industry, we discuss industry organizations' responses to President Donald Trump's announcement last week that the U.S. could import up to 300,000 metric tons of beef over the next 90 days, along with their concerns about the move. We also discuss New World screwworm and what the phased reopening of the U.S.-Mexico border could look like in the coming weeks. Plus, we look at crop conditions, yield expectations and how markets are responding. With the Iowa State Fair in the rearview mirror and the Minnesota State Fair getting underway this week, we turn our attention to young people and their paths into agriculture. Joy Van Wyngarden's journey was not always a straight one. She stumbled into agriculture during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since built an online following as “Joy of All Trades.” Delaney Howell caught up with Joy at the Iowa State Fair to discuss her journey into agriculture and how she is connecting with the next generation. Stay connected with us for daily agriculture content on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, along with our weekly videos!

JB is back from Perth, and Billy had a great night at the milkshake parlour of all places - he kicks things off with the All Sports Report, where he should probably listen to audio grabs before he throws to them. Collingwood's Roan Steele and Tarni White are in studio as the men prepare for Wildcard Round, and the women launch into their season - but Billy is particularly interested in where the name 'Roan' comes from. The Wacky World of William looks at a bizarre competition at the Iowa State Fair, then Josh Fraser calls in after officially being announced as Carlton's permanent senior coach. Jack Gunston and Bradley Hill are in studio together as they both play their 300th games this weekend - as Billy circles back to a personal question he asked Jack the last time he was in. Channel 7 Chief Footy Reporter Mitch Cleary calls in with the latest on the Sydney Swans sexual assault allegations. Billy's 5 at 5:05 has been moved to 5:45 - where his favourite moments of the Triple M Footy weekend include a new player nickname, and some former players trying their hands at commentary. Finally, Billy has another book related joke... and we're sensing a theme for the week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris Williams is joined by Scott Siepker for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of college football, why so many fans are feeling disconnected from the sport, and whether the business of college athletics has finally gone too far. The two debate conference realignment, NIL, the transfer portal, promotion and relegation, and whether football should become its own separate entity from university athletics. Plus, Scott previews the Iowa State Fair, shares his strategy for reviewing new fair foods, and the guys preview Iowa Everywhere LIVE, coming to Des Moines on August 21.
