To start this edition of River to River, an update on one of the closest Congressional races in the country from IPR’s Kate Payne followed by a legal view from election law scholar Derek Muller of the University of Iowa. Later on, host Ben Kieffer talks with IPR's Natalie Krebs to get an update on COVID-19 hospitalizations and Erin Murphy dives into the political divide between urban and rural parts of Iowa.
The program concludes with a sampling of what the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra will be performing during their live-streamed concert Thursday evening. Learn more about the virtual concert here.
Getting ready for tonight’s rehearsal! Notice anything different this time? Because we have winds and brass joining us, there are plexiglass shields around the room. Can’t wait to play this concert for you tomorrow! #desmoinessymphony #livefromthetemple pic.twitter.com/xqI8T8hXVe
