In celebration of the recent successful pledge drive, the show opened with a brief history of radio in Ames from Alex Fefjar of the Ames Historical Society.
The second enrollment period for insurance using the government sponsored Health Insurance Marketplace runs from November 15 through February 15 and the bulk of the show consists of two interviews about enrolling under the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also known as Obamacare). One interview is with Tony Murray of Murray and Associates, an insurance company in Des Moines. The second interview is with Shanette White, who is a government certified Navigator trained to guide people seeking enrollment under ACA. Shanette White works as a Navigator under Planned Parenthood of the Hearland (PPHeartland).
