Only three days until the Iowa caucuses and the national press coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign shows how little has been learned in newsrooms about covering the first major presidential candidate to demonstrate a willingness to upend American democracy. Mark Jacob joins Pat for the conversation.

Plus, Civic Media Meteorologist Brittney Merlot gives an update on the weather conditions coming with the winter storm in the area. Pat also dives into an update on the rolling back of child labor protections in Wisconsin, and what some companies in the state have added to the "cost of business." Dan Schumacher joins for his weekly visit to talk the NFL playoffs.
