Iowans have a reputation for being non-confrontational, a demeanor that’s been lovingly dubbed “Iowa nice.”
But sometimes, we have to talk about difficult issues if we’re going to solve difficult problems. In July, IPR news is taking a look at issues Iowans don’t always agree on. During
Morning Edition and
All Things Considered and on
River to Riverand
Talk of Iowa, we’re going to try and get beyond some of that Iowa nice. We'll be hosting conversations about issues ranging from immigration to abortion.
What issues do you disagree with your neighbors about? Join the conversation, and tweet us @IPRTalk #BeyondIowaNice. You can send ideas and thoughts to our team by emailing us at
