Prosthetic limbs allow amputees the ability to manipulate objects, walk up stairs, and better fit into our 4-limbed world, but for hundreds of years, comfort still plagues people who use them. Chafing, rashes, muscle and join pain come with the territory but co-counders Dr. Rachel Eike and Bahar H. Esfahani are designing a better fitting system. Dr. Eike is a professor at Iowa State University and Esfahani is a Graduate Research Assistant who participated on this project in class. What started as a class project has turned into a full-fledged business the pair hopes will deliver much-needed comfort to amputees across the globe. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: iowapodcast.com/wearlab-solu… ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: dentons.com/en/dentons-davis… 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq

Lt. Governor @Cournoyer is running for State Auditor. Should she win, she will be subject to SF 478, the law she voted for to limit the Auditor's office. Does she plan on working with the legislature to reverse it, or does she want it left in place? Cournoyer discusses her top waste targets and one program she will leave in place from the current Auditor's office. She's asked about concerns from the last election cycle from prominent Iowa Republicans on her predecessor's lack of CPA experience. Is that still a concern? 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: iowapodcast.com/chris-courno… 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq

"It malfunctioned" @RickStewart on the missing chunk of the RFK call audio. nitter.cf/IowaPodcast/status/211…
Libertarian candidate for US Congress, @RickStewart defends Universal Basic Income from a Libertarian viewpoint, abolishing income tax, legalization of drugs, erased portions of his call with HHS Secretary Bobby Kennedy, and in a bonus wrap-up chat, how he never collected signatures to get on the ballot. Stewart has run for U.S. Senate, Linn County Sheriff, Secretary of Agriculture, Governor, and now the US House of Representatives. He addresses the Libertarian Party losing popularity, despite more voters claiming to be independent, explains how the party was hijacked, why he believes they've finally righted the ship. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: iowapodcast.com/rick-stewart… ⚖️ Hurt at work?
