Ruth Harkin is best known as the wife of longtime U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, but she has an impressive legacy all her own — in fact, she was the first in her family elected to public office. Harkin recently published her memoir, When My Husband Ran For President and other Short Stories.
Then a farewell to IPR's Karen Impola. The Folk Tree host is retiring after 34 years of sharing music with Iowans.
Guests:
- Ruth Harkin, author of When My Husband Ran For President and other Short Stories
- Karen Impola, former host of IPR's The Folk Tree
