On the noon show for Nov. 16, we had what could be considered Ames Cultural Ambassadors. Our guests live in Ames and perform nationally. One guest is Michael Ching, who recently had a world premiere of his opera Alice Riley in Savannah, Georgia. The other guests were Julie Fox Henson, the assistant concertmaster (pictured to the far left) with the Des Moines Symphony and Alan Henson, the principal cellist with the central Iowa symphony. We talked about their efforts in music education.

Four KHOI reporters--Ursula Ruedenberg, Greta Anderson, Gale Seiler and youth reporter Max Eness, were "commissioned" by Los Angeles station KPFK to contribute to its national broadcast with on-the-spot, live interviews immediately following the 2nd Democratic Presidential Debate, held at Drake University this past Saturday. Gale and Greta got credentialed for the "Spin Room", where they interviewed campaign managers of the Sanders, Clinton and O'Malley campaigns; Ursula and Max covered the scene outside the debate, snagging an interview with Cornel West and losing a shoe. We start this pledge week show interviewing our good landlord at the Pantorium, Dennis Jones, then tell the stories of our intrepid reporters as they try out a new beat and a new technology.
