We kick off this episode of the show discussing the emotional shift into “game week mode,” NIL money making college feel more professional, and a long detour into parenting (kids' “zoomies,” sharing cookies, and hiding ice cream to protect bedtime). They rave about how fun high school football is after attending an Ankeny vs. Waukee Northwest game, joke about betting lines, and note Iowa as a 31.5-point favorite with a 45.5 over/under on FanDuel. They share optimism about Iowa's offensive weapons but emphasize winning the line of scrimmage, finding a true starting quarterback, and playing clean, detailed football vs. Northern Illinois. They preview the season-defining Michigan/Ohio State/Washington stretch, react to a teased Hawkeye “Darkness Belongs to the Hunter” reveal, run through NFL roster/cut news for former Hawkeyes, and mention upcoming Fry Fest and Patreon perks.

In episode 337 of the podcast, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Slipknot's ‘IOWA', the landmark album released in 2001 that pushed the boundaries of just how heavy mainstream metal could get.We look back on our early memories of ‘IOWA', how we first connected with the record, the context surrounding Slipknot and heavy music in 2001, and what made the album feel so dangerous and different at the time.We also dig into the album itself — the songs, sound, production, imagery, and intensity — before looking at ‘IOWA‘s lasting legacy and its influence on the heavy music that followed.Twenty-five years later, ‘IOWA' remains one of the defining heavy albums of its era, and we continue to ride for it.Long live the 'Knot.Podcast theme created by Nomar Slevik and Donnie GoldenPodcast theme performed by Trawl.

From there he runs the board on eight Senate races where Democrats are polling ahead: Mary Peltola in Alaska, Jon Ossoff defending Georgia against Mike Collins, Josh Turek in Iowa, Troy Jackson taking on Susan Collins in Maine after Graham Platner exited the race, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan against Mike Rogers, Roy Cooper with a commanding lead in North Carolina, Sherrod Brown mounting a comeback in Ohio, and James Talarico leading Ken Paxton in Texas. Hawk spends extra time on Talarico, whose polling shows unusually strong support among Black voters in Texas compared with past Democratic nominees, and on Paxton, whose fundraising has cratered to the point that Donald Trump is planning a rally for him. He also touches on the Jasmine Crockett dynamic in that race.

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.

Today was a weird one! Klein is outta town, but weirdly you still heard him at least half the time on today's show. We know times like this can be confusing and disorienting. Deal with it, sugar tits! Klein is likely in Idaho, Iowa or Indiana. We're not sure and neither is he, but one thing he knows: Sidney Sweeney is likely staying in the same complex. Will he make her horribly uncomfortable by staring at her with his murder eyes from across the pool? We'll find out when he gets back on Monday! We still covered a lot on today's show. A new Box Of Shame where Ally let the elevator doors close on a handicapped person, Klein embarrassing himself (again) when one of his D Pics showed up on his family digital calendar. We also learned Johnny has no idea what a Peninsula is but DOES know where Dagestan is, and we talked to a Wildlife expert about the many animals infiltrating our neighborhoods due to the never-ending heatwaves.

Jen Psaki peels through the layers of a scheme described by a Florida grand jury in which millions of dollars were laundered through charities and ultimately ended up funding political activities. And while the grand jury was not able to identify who to indict in the matter, the people involved, with close ties to outgoing Governor Ron DeSantis, saw their careers advance. Former Rep. David Jolly, Democratic candidate for Florida governor, talks with Jen about the details of the scheme. Iowa State Rep. Josh Turek, Democratic candidate for Iowa's U.S. Senate seat, talks with Jen about a new lobbying scandal in Iowa that has involved his Republican opponent. Max Lederer and Erik Slavin, the fired publisher and editor-in-chief of Stars and Stripes, talk with Jen about their new legal effort to restore their jobs and preserve the newspaper's independence as Pete Hegseth's Pentagon seems intent on turning it into a propaganda outlet. Jen Psaki shares New York Times reporting on how Donald Trump Jr. throws his weight around as the son of a corrupt president to influence the legal circumstances of a company and an industry in which he has a financial interest. David Yaffe-Bellany, New York Times crypto industry reporter, joins to discuss his reporting. To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Happy full moon, everybody! Humans are the most social species on the planet. So ... why don't we act like it? Why is loneliness rising? Why are we increasingly entombed in echo chambers? What is preventing us from connecting? Enter Nick Epley, Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and one of the world's leading researchers on the psychology of social interaction. Nick grew up in rural Iowa, lives in Chicago with his family, and has spent his career asking a deceptively simple question: Why do the most social creatures on Earth often choose to be less social than they could be? Nick is the author of 'Mindwise: Why We Misunderstand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want', and his newest book, 'A Little More Social: How Small Choices Create Unexpected Happiness, Health, and Connection'. His research spans social cognition, perspective-taking, loneliness, anthropomorphism, and why our judgments about people are so often inaccurate. Nick has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and on NPR. His course at Booth, 'Designing a Good Life', is an ethics course exploring how to build lives that are ethical, successful, and genuinely fulfilling, and it's among the school's most sought-after classes. Pull up a chair and let's talk about the differences between introversion and extroversion, the ethics of a good life, parenting five children (yes, five!), how technology is affecting the ways we socialize, the uncertainty effect, finding wisdom, and of course… Nick Epley's 3 most formative books. Let's flip the page to chapter 164 now…

In this second “Odysseason” panel, another group of classicists discuss Christopher Nolan's new “Odyssey” film and the major changes made in his adaptation and what those changes enable, including: a traumatized, guilt-ridden Odysseus; the Aeneid-derived character Sinon reframed as Odysseus's victim; an expanded, emotional focus on Argos and a merged Argos/Telemachus recognition scene. Panelists critique the film's persistent visual and aural darkness, the diminished role of gods and humor, omissions like the Phaeacians and Penelope's bed recognition, and Nolan's war-movie/PTSD framing with parallels to Oppenheimer and Interstellar. They debate whether the Odyssey “belongs” to Greece, note Greek and Greek American reactions (including promotional and casting concerns), and consider scholarly responsibilities regarding political/ethical production issues. They emphasize using the film's popularity to spur reading Homer, teaching critical reception, supporting new adaptations, and encouraging creative retellings, including Odyssey Day on Oct. 15.

In this episode of Plugged In To Public Health, Lauren sits down with former podcast host and recent University of Iowa MPH graduate Prithvi Raj Daliboyina ("Raj") to reflect on his time in the College of Public Health. Before coming to Iowa, Raj completed physician training in India. During his MPH in Epidemiology, he expanded that clinical perspective through coursework and projects in epidemiology, biostatistics, qualitative research, data analysis, and healthcare quality improvement. Raj discusses the transition from thinking about health at the individual patient level to examining the broader systems and population-level factors that shape health outcomes. He also shares how projects involving medication adherence and hospital length of stay helped him see the importance of issues such as transportation, communication, health literacy, care coordination, and access. The conversation also covers some of the less obvious parts of graduate school, including adapting to a new academic system, moving to a new country, deciding where to specialize within a broad field, and learning how to turn complicated public health data into information that can be understood and used by people outside the field. Raj also reflects on his time as a host of Plugged In To Public Health and the value of podcasting as a space for asking questions, challenging assumptions, and communicating different perspectives. For students beginning an MPH or still figuring out where they fit in public health, Raj offers a simple piece of advice: explore broadly, talk to people, take advantage of opportunities, and give yourself permission to discover your interests along the way. A transcript will be available here soon. Have a question for our podcast crew or an idea for an episode?

The only likely way to end the nightmare of Trump—and Republicans supporting him no matter how much he ruins the country—is for Democrats to win in Republican-leaning states and congressional districts. That means giving moderates the grace to compete for people who voted for Trump. Likewise, moderates also need to recognize that the left will be swing voters in key races this election cycle. Plus: the online brawl over Hasan Piker, Scott Jennings' desperate campaign to be the new White House press secretary, Trump is widening his attack on the First Amendment to research institutions, and Rob Sand is breaking the candidate mold in Iowa.Epic poster and Center for American Progress president Neera Tanden joins Tim Miller.show notes: The Center for American Progress website 'Take' on the CIA director's trip to Moscow (with Weiss & Polymeropoulos) Neera's busy Twitter feed Jonathan Martin's interview with gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand

In a new episode of the 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.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles for a blistering tour through Trump's increasingly chaotic presidency, from the icy public display between Donald and Melania Trump to the White House's seemingly endless staff exodus and the growing sense that the president's power is slipping away. They cover Trump's disastrous Iran war, the shifting alliances reshaping the Middle East, and Mark Carney's emergence as a formidable counterweight to Trump after Canada refuses to bend to his demands. Rothkopf also reveals why Jared Kushner's secret meetings with Democrats could signal panic inside Trumpworld, what Pete Hegseth's trip to Iowa says about his presidential ambitions, and why Trump's cabinet may be the most disastrous collection of officials in American history. As more countries, businesses and political opponents begin standing up to Trump, Rothkopf argues that the president's bullying tactics are finally backfiring—and that his transformation into a lame duck may already be underway. #ad Ready to reach your goals?
