This is understandibly so in that property taxes are already high and now the city wants to tack on what is conisdered another tax to the citizens that many feel is unfair. However the city counters that by saying that because their hands are tied because of the state legislature they are going to have to find other sources for revenue otherwise they are going to have to cut city services if more funding isn't available. The 3rd reading of the proposed franchise fee is coming up at Monday's Newton City Council meeting and the City Council chambers once again will no doubt have overflow crowds of folks venting their frustrations. Because of this I brought two people together on both sides of the issue to discuss the franchise fees. Mayor Randy Ervin who is a proponent of the fees and Mary Watters who is against the fees. At my suggestion Mary asked for questions on Facebook to ask the Mayor for this podcast. Normally my podcast will go no longer than 30 minutes but the entire length of the interview went just over 50 minutes. We not only discussed the franchise fees but also got into the lawsuits the city has had to deal with and the AU chemical plant which at one point had thought to be a sure thing but now seems to be somewhat in jepordy. The Mayor also teases us with some good news coming for the Newton City Council meeting for Monday night in this podcast. Normally I would also have a video attached to my podcast but because of the length of the podcast I skipped the video this time.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">95956efd-b903-4c42-9a31-54b8f511bac7</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2026 05:55:28 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73274928/428948825_44100_2_07d87eb5d77a1.mp3" length="57390558" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Jamie Grout</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>The proposed franchise fee for the city of Newton has become a highly emotional issue for many in Newton.

A couple years ago my sweetie started showing me videos from a guy who has an animal sanctuary in Spain that takes care of unwanted donkeys and horses. We really fell in love with the donkeys.

And why shouldn't he be described that way! He is the man that brought Cookie's BBQ Sauce to fame. If you've lived in Iowa for any length of time you've probably seen his TV commercials or heard his jingles on the radio. Speed has been selling his various flavors of Cookies Sauces since 1977 and the story of how it all got started is very interesting. Speed never planned on being "the sauce man" but that's how life turned out for him and now "Cookies" is sold in over 30 states around the midwest.

And why shouldn't he be described that way! He is the man that brought Cookie's BBQ Sauce to fame. If you've lived in Iowa for any length of time you've probably seen his TV commercials or heard his jingles on the radio. Speed has been selling his various flavors of Cookies Sauces since 1977 and the story of how it all got started is very interesting. Speed never planned on being "the sauce man" but that's how life turned out for him and now "Cookies" is sold in over 30 states around the midwest. If you don't see his "Rib Wagon" at county fairs and other events you might see him at The Iowa State Fair once again this year giving out samples of tasty ribs with the various flavors of Cookies BBQ sauce. I hope you enjoy this podcast with the one and only Speed Herrig, "the sauce man."]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2067</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/c3074cf356ef8bfc70f31fa8547b4b18.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Iowa Nite Hawks Podcast</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/iowa-nite-hawks-podcast--71255493</link><description><![CDATA[In this podcast I speak with one of the owners of The Iowa Nite Hawks and the new Coach of The Iowa Nite Hawks about their upcoming season and their goals and what excites them about the upcoming season.

Most of my podcast don't go 40 minutes so I chopped up this podcast into 2 segments. The second part of this interview will be uploaded Monday night into Tuesday morning. In this wide ranging interview I speak with "Irv" about the harrassing texts, phone calls and emails he's been getting about the man who was arrested at a Newton City Council meeting a few years ago who took the city to court about his 1st amendment rights being violated. The judge recently ruled against the city.

He suggested that I ask folks on Facebook who is the funniest person in Newton? Some people suggested Mark Allen. Mark is known in Newton for being a financial advisor, the inventor of the Moose Grill and being involved in The Mercy One Foundation. But to Iowans he might be known for being the morning sports reporter on the Van &amp; Bonnie show on WHO Radio.

He suggested that I ask folks on Facebook who is the funniest person in Newton? Some people suggested Mark Allen. Mark is known in Newton for being a financial advisor, the inventor of the Moose Grill and being involved in The Mercy One Foundation. But to Iowans he might be known for being the morning sports reporter on the Van &amp; Bonnie show on WHO Radio. It's a bit ironic that Van would suggest this topic and the person's name that comes up is someone who was on his radio show for a number of years.

I lost my beloved sister on November 1st from her fight with Parkinsons Disease. While I knew her death was coming it still wasn't easy as my sister was almost like a 2nd Mother to me.

She was on this earth 10 years before I ever came along and could have been totally resentful of me stealing the spotlight from her. However, this was not the case as she treated me as if I was her baby. She always had my back and even beat up on the neighborhood bully when he was picking up on me. If you or a friend or relative are going through grief this podcast might give you some ideas on how to deal with grief.

I went to Newton High with him and even worked at the same radio station with him for a time. He's been on The Newton City Council for a number of years too. In the last Mayoral election he lost in his bit to become Mayor in a close vote to Evelyn George. This time he is running for Mayor unopposed, and it looks as though he will become Mayor of Newton. In this podcast he talks about why he wants to become Mayor. His positive outlook on the dilapidated derecho building in downtown Newton, and how the eyesore can be fixed.

I went to Newton High with him and even worked at the same radio station with him for a time. He's been on The Newton City Council for a number of years too. In the last Mayoral election he lost in his bit to become Mayor in a close vote to Evelyn George. This time he is running for Mayor unopposed, and it looks as though he will become Mayor of Newton. In this podcast he talks about why he wants to become Mayor. His positive outlook on the dilapidated derecho building in downtown Newton, and how the eyesore can be fixed. The lawsuit the city if facing dealing with The Newton Police Department.

Mostly as the nightly sports anchor at ABC-TV affiliate WFAA-TV where he's won Peabody awards, Emmy awards and has been inducted into The Texas Broadcasting Hall Of Fame.

In 1975 Dale had moved on to radio station KNIA in Knoxville, Iowa where he hired me while I was in High School which started me out on my 50 year career in broadcasting. In this podcast Dale talks about his days in Newton. He tells us about how Newton's first female Mayor threw a party that motivated him to have a HUGE party for several years at his ranch in texas, a few times for charity. His memories of The Newton Nighthawks. And, how, when a local politician, before an interview, handed him a list of questions for him to ask him, Dale threw away the questions and asked him what he wanted to ask him. As you will hear, Dale is a great story teller. This podcast is a bit longer than normal because, lets face it, we both a couple of radio/tv talkative guys who got paid to talk for a living and we could have gone longer.
