This week's Waukee Podcast kicks off with Jamie Thompson bringing her signature energy to "What's Up Waukee," highlighting all the latest "hoppenings" around town. From community buzz to local updates, Jamie sets the tone with the stories and events that keep Waukee connected and thriving.

The episode then dives into meaningful conversations with Shane Ort, president of CRINC, who shares how the new Droppett site (www.droppett.com) at Centennial Park is simplifying can recycling while reinvesting proceeds back into the community. Finally, Courtney Clarke joins the show to recap the 2026 State of the City, including the exciting launch of "City Explained," a new seven-week program designed to give residents a deeper understanding of how their city operates. She also provides a detailed update on the ongoing University Avenue construction project from 10th Street to Alice's Road.
