Simon Conway

This week SIMON got to visit the ARL's Second Chance Ranch where he met 'Baby' a thoroughbred race horse up for adoption. CHLOE AMOS from the Animal Rescue League is in studio to talk more about the "other" animals available for adoption that are at the ranch and not at the main ARL.

ALAN DERSHOIWITZ, who defended President Clinton and President Trump during their impeachment hearings, changed his political party and then wrote a book about it called "Why I Quit the Dems, And So Should You (confessions of a reluctant Republican*). He shares with SIMON his motivation for changing and how he feels about it now.

SIMON has lots of excitement today about 'what's coming'...

College football is back. baby!!! This Saturday is the first Hawkeye game of the year and there's no one better to give SIMON a season preview than "The Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes" himself, GARY DOLPHIN.

The city of Urbandale has officially turned down the opportunity to be home for Iowa's first Buccee's location. But fear not! Hope is still alive for beaver nugget-loving Iowans, courtesy of the West Des Moines Mayor, RUSS TRIMBLE, who says the city has 5-6 potential future locations.

This hour SIMON talks about the future, the past and the present. Topics of discussion this hour are data centers, the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the live breaking news of the judge's ruling in the Tyler Robinson case.

It's hard to believe the 25th anniversary of 9/11 is almost here. Every year, to honor the memories of those who lost their lives, the 'March to the Capital' organization gathers together and walks in remembrance. West Des Moines firefighter MICHAEL DUNKIN was live in studio with SIMON to share how Iowans can participate this year as we remember that dark day 25 years ago.
