What’s a sociologist and “Spaceballs” fan doing in the Legislature? Trying to save democracy, of course. We’ll talk to Rep. Angela Stroud (D-Ashland) about what propelled her to run and serve in Madison — and how to deal with the wealth of conspiracy theories and rumors that swirl around politics. We’ll talk to daycare provider Kara Pitt-D’Andrea, a Wisconsin member of Main Street Alliance who’s in Washington, DC lobbying to avoid a government shutdown and restore painful healthcare cuts. Plus, an update on stories being followed in western Wisconsin by Civic Media reporter James Kelly.
