May is National Travel and Tourism Month, and also National Foster Care Month, so these are the two topics for this show. Hear why Ames is "the BEST college town in America" (according to Liveability.com), and how you, as an Ames resident, can be the best ambassador and tour guide for Ames!
In the second part of the show we hear from two adult experts on the art of being a foster parent, and we also hear from two young people who have been in foster care.
