With Casandra Eames out recovering from knee surgery, Bill Gebhart steps in to guest host a conversation that’s all about the pull of place—and what it means to return.
Bobby King joins Bill to talk about his journey to Ames, what took him away, and why he ultimately came back. It’s a story about change—personal and communal—and how the "vibe" of a place can shift over time, sometimes in ways that surprise you.
They also touch on Bobby’s work helping people find employment and what it’s like to support others through life transitions. But at its heart, this episode is about coming home—again—and seeing a familiar place through new eyes.
The views and opinions expressed by guests are their own and do not reflect those of the City of Ames or its employees.
