Civic Media Spotlight

Kicking off this hour, Matenaer On Air is joined by Dr. Karin Tamerius, a political psychiatrist, and the founder of Smart Politics which is a nonprofit that teaches progressives how to communicate more productively and persuasively with people who disagree with them, including conservatives. They talk about the work necessary to have those discussions and what it takes from those trying to do the convincing.

Then, on Up North News Radio with Pat Kreitlow, Pat dives into Microsoft’s president commenting on bringing thousands of jobs to Racine. Pat then calls out House Speaker Mike Johnson for playing the fear card about election integrity and exposes Rep. Tom Tiffany for playing politics with the US census.

After that, the John & Gordy Show is joined by Associate Editor of the Cap Times John Nichols to comment on the encampment at UW Madison, and shares how protest relates to the Wisconsin Idea.

Last but not least, Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba is joined by stand-up comedian Rocky LaPorte. Rocky talks about his start in stand-up comedy, shows Rocky has coming up in Wisconsin, and Rocky's favorite places to perform.
