From Baby Deliveries to Big Dreams: Waukee Stories This Week

This week’s episode of the Waukee Podcast is filled with local voices, inspiring stories, and community impact. We kick things off with Jamie Thompson and her popular What’s Up Waukee segment, highlighting the latest happenings around town. From there, listeners meet two student athletes, Kayne VanDis and Tut Chuol, who are launching their own podcast, Kee Sportss, straight out of the Waukee Innovation Learning Center. These young leaders are bringing fresh energy and perspective to the world of sports broadcasting and give us a preview of what’s to come.

Next, we welcome Officer Beehler of the Waukee Police Department, who shares an unforgettable story of arriving just in time to deliver baby Alexander alongside the Davis family. With only 30 seconds to spare, Officer Beehler stepped into a life-changing moment that brought joy, relief, and a new appreciation for first responders’ courage and quick thinking.

Finally, we spotlight community champions Bruce Huckfeldt and Marcy Ostrander, who return with their annual #heartandsole Shoe Drive. Their goal: to collect and distribute over 3,000 pairs of gently worn shoes to those who need them most. With three drop-off locations available through October, this effort is a tangible way for the Waukee community to come together and make a lasting difference.
