HOSPERS—Jen Loeb knew if she didn’t try to climb Mount Everest, and give the attempt 110 percent of her effort, she would always regret it.

Mountain climber Jen Loeb is the first Iowa woman to complete the seven summits, which means she has climbed the highest peak on every continent in the world. Loeb joins Charity Nebbe to discuss her latest mountain climbing expedition to Antarctica, where she summited Vinson Massis. Before that, Heather Henson and Monica Leo talk about the new collection of short films "Dreamscapes Volume One" that will be screened at Owl Glass Puppetry Center in West Liberty.
