Up Close: Daniel Pixley, Julie Saxton, and Jonathan Anderson
About this episode
This week on Up Close, host Casandra Eames welcomes back three familiar voices: Daniel Pixley, Julie Saxton, and Jonathan Anderson. In this special reunion episode, the guests meet each other for the first time and share thoughtful, funny, and revealing reflections on life in Ames.
From their personal faith journeys to what keeps drawing them back to this community, Daniel, Julie, and Jonathan open up about the work they do and the unique ways Ames has shaped their stories. They also each share a “hidden gem” in town, those special spots that make Ames feel like home.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or new to the area, this episode is a warm reminder of the connections that thrive in our city.
