As the title suggests, we move away from the mirky swamp of Project 2025 and discuss humane practices when it comes to the meat we eat. Kurt Vogel, PhD and Ashlynn Kirk from The Humane Handling Institute join us to talk about very important steps to ensuring our food meets a end free from cruelty. Then it's time to talk space, people and Greg, is excited! James Lattice, Director of the UW Space Place and Maya Reinfeldt, Coordinator for Badger Talks stop by and tell us about Universe In The Park, a wonderful gathering for those who enjoy just looking up at all the splendor that is our universe.
