If it’s the talk of Iowa, it’s here. IowaPodcast.com is home to locally grown Iowa Podcasts from Iowa hosts about news you care about. As media brands end locally produced content, pivoting to regional or national content, we’re doubling down on inside Iowa podcast content. Our studio is even next to the Iowa State Capitol building. Does it get more Iowa than that?
IowaPodcast.com Hosts
All our show hosts live in Iowa and work in Iowa. Iowa tech pro Kaylee Williams hosts the Iowa Tech Podcast, Iowa Ag icon David Geiger hosts the Iowa Ag Podcast, and entrepreneur Justin Brady hosts The Iowa Podcast.

Metered street parking is available (you can pay via the ParkMobile app) or you may park in 3 parking garages within walking distance. The parking on E Grand & E 7th is free to the public, but a bit longer of a walk.
An inside Iowa podcast look
The Iowa Podcast covers topics that are the talk of Iowa right now. The Iowa Manufacturing Podcast covers the makers and movers driving our state’s GDP, Iowa Ag Podcast focuses on our rich agricultural heritage, and The Iowa Tech Podcast is your gateway to the vibrant world of technology and innovation right here in Iowa. Whether you’re a current Iowan, an Iowa expat, or just want to be connected to our great state: these shows will keep you plugged in.
The talk of Iowa. (For good reason)
Why the obsession with local? Today, national media companies are reeling from divisive and click-bait content. It works for clicks but it’s not sustainable as they’re discovering. So, what’s their solution? Double down and end locally produced content. That left a vacuum we filled!
IowaPodcast.com fills the need for local hosts that know our state. As local media cancels local shows, and fires local journalists, we’re growing. Today, more than 10,000 Iowans come to us monthly because they want Iowa-focused content.
Why Iowa Podcasts?
Gallup has recorded record lows for trust in media. People are turning to local content they can trust. Our hosts aren’t insulated by PR teams—they’re accessible and held accountable by their own community. They have to tell the truth because they live and work here. They’re respected by their community and don’t hide behind political or ideological tribalism.
Our hosts go to The Des Moines Symphony for Yankee Doodle Pops. You’ll see them at Scandinavian Days in Story City or Anamosa Pumpkinfest. You’ll bump into them at the Iowa State Fair.
Our collection of Iowa Podcasts are what we went looking for but couldn’t find. We ask that you join us on this journey!
Why was IowaPodcast.com started?
IowaPodcast.com was founded September of 2022 by former journalist and radio host Justin Brady. During Brady’s 3-year, small weekend hobby at WHO Radio, he noticed a hunger for local quality content. He tapped into that need and led the entire station in digital impressions.
After his departure, he knew that need was still there and finally started The Iowa Podcast to fill it. After seeing fast growth, he founded IowaPodcast.com and brought on more hosts, growing the network.
Brady has interviewed Iowa’s biggest names, Presidential Candidates, New York Times bestselling authors, the CEOs of Starbucks, Ancestry.com, and Hint and wrote for The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Des Moines Register and Cedar Rapids Gazette.
