“Iowa’s Roast and Ride” and Studio5 was There!

Pictured above is KXEL, Waterloo, Iowa program director and program host Jeff Stein (left) interviewing Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds (right) at the annual summertime “Iowa’s Roast and Ride” charity event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. The 90-minute live broadcast  on the NRG Media news/talk station’s “Iowa Talking Points” was simulcast on a live video stream by Mudd Advertising and its Studio5@Mudd remote production team. The broadcast served as the “pregame show” before the luncheon event, which boasted 1,000 attendees. Spearheaded by U.S. Senator Joni Ernst, the event is sponsored by Mission Iowa, a non-profit organization. It begins with a motorcycle fundraiser ride to the fairgrounds and culminates with a barbeque luncheon and speeches. This year’s event raised $10,000.00 for the Iowa Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation.
