Podcast: 'On Iowa Politics' talks the value of presidential debates

This week on the podcast, reporters discuss presidential debates – the GOP and Democratic forums – and debate the value of debates.

On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to re-create the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day's deadlines have been met. This week's show features James Q. Lynch, Todd Dorman, Erin Murphy and Ed Tibbetts.

This week's show was produced by Clare Murphy and the music heard in the podcast is courtesy of William Elliot Whitmore. Chat with us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter @OnIowaPolitics, and subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher. Send band sound files to oniowapolitics@gmail.com.
