About this episode
The episode discusses a proposed tax on alternative nicotine products, staff sentiments at public universities, and the effects of extreme weather on agriculture.
Iowans could see an extra tax on alternative nicotine products under a bill in the legislature. A survey shows staff at the state's public universities don't feel as free to express their viewpoints like they did in the previous years. And how has more extreme weather impacted farmers and ranchers?
