The Shows (Feature 1311.332)
The First Couple


Rock and Roll helps Governor Tom Vilsack relax and unwind from his hectic schedule. First Lady Christie Vilsack is a good cook, but the ingredients often end up everywhere in the kitchen. Think you know Iowa's First Couple?

Experience the personal side of these two public people, when Morgan Halgren sits down for an intimate and informative conversation with the Governor and First Lady at Terrace Hill.

Iowa's First Couple discusses their marriage of 30 years, parenting two sons, the loss of their parents, and early childhood influences, including Governor Vilsack's mother's battle with alcoholism during his youth.

Sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, this casual yet candid conversation is a unique opportunity to see the personal side of Iowa's First Couple.

The interview comes during the week in which Governor Vilsack and Lt. Gov. Sally Pedersen celebrate their inauguration to a second term in office.

IPTV's coverage of the inauguration can be seen Friday morning, January 17 at 9:30 a.m. and again at 9:00 p.m. that evening.
