…if you’re a paid subscriber, join us Friday at noon central

First, a hearty welcome to

Ty Rushing

who officially launched his new column as a member of the

Iowa Writers Collaborative Roundup

. We are thrilled. Ty is a highly regarded local reporter in Iowa, who just joined the teaching faculty at the University of Iowa School of Journalism.

Ty has covered important community news and politics stories, all the while blanketing X and other social platforms with whimsical commentary about food, sports and shoes.

He’s looking forward to having fun with Substack, and readers certainly will, too.

Ty is also a part of the

Iowa Writers Collaborative

Down Ballot podcast.

Please welcome:

Office Lounge

On the last Friday of the month, a group of our Iowa Writers’ Collaborative members hop on a Zoom call we affectionately call the Office Lounge and chat with readers from around the state. We appreciate your feedback and ideas.
