Thompson joined the WHO 13 Newsgroup as a journalist/MMJ in November of 2020. Brought up in Norwalk, Calyn is no more odd to the area!

Calyn Thompson Facts
- I was born in Des Moines at Mercy Hospital where my mom is a Labor & Delivery nurse, raised in Norwalk (Go Warriors!), and attended Wartburg College (Go Knights!).
- I’m a military brat but never had to move around. My dad works at the Iowa Air National Guard, 132nd Wing.
- I’m the youngest in my family and have an older brother. My parents made our names into a pattern (Tommy, Connie, Tyler, Calyn – luckily my brother married someone whose name starts with a C, Cara).
- I discovered my passion for journalism after a hero’s homecoming for my cousin, Zach, who was injured in Afghanistan.
- I love all types of music and arts! You can often see me attending concerts at Wells Fargo Arena and musicals at the Civic Center.
- My humor is based on movie quotes. (Tommy Boy, Dumb and Dumber, and School of Rock are a few of my favorites!)
- I have a phobia of frogs… I blame the neighbor boys for teasing me with them growing up.
- I’m a true believer in retail therapy. I enjoy going into stores more so than online shopping. You can’t beat a trip to TJ Maxx!
- I’m not a coffee person, but still love caffeine. Diet Mt. Dew is my jam!
- I’ve never broken a bone, but I did tear my ACL and meniscus playing slow-pitch softball which I would NOT recommend! Knee surgery is no joke.
- My happy place is on the water! My family has a boat and we enjoy our summers at Lake Red Rock.
- I’ve only ever lived in the Midwest (Iowa & Minnesota). I enjoy the change in seasons – fall is my favorite!
- I’ve always been a big TV watcher. A few of my favorite shows include This Is Us, Grey’s Anatomy, and Family Feud.
