Episode 1: The Origin

The Origin features Gary Dolphin, a legendary Iowa sports broadcaster, Dubuque-area business owner and passionate advocate for the community. Alex and Gary will discuss the history and development of Dubuque, including the formation of the Dubuque Racing Association (DRA) and what that meant to the city. 

This new podcast gives an inside look at Dubuque's future and the many opportunities associated with this unique community. Dixon, the President and CEO of DRA and Q Casino and host of the new series, will have conversations with featured guests on timely topics, while also shining a positive light on the history and evolution of Dubuque. A goal of the podcast is to educate listeners about the rich, "community-first" innovation that has occurred in the community over the years - all of which has allowed Dubuque to survive and grow into a destination-type area where thousands of people live, work and play on a daily basis.
