Guests: Aaron Qualio, Nina Sparano, Peter Flucke, Tracy Flucke

Every week we're lucky to welcome some of the great reporters from NBC26 in our neighborhood focus. The guys start the segment talking about food and culture in Northeast Wisconsin. Eventually, Nina is allowed to talk about one of the stories that NBC26 is working on. October is Manufacturing Month, and NBC26 is telling the story of companies all over the area that make international products. Then, local author Aaron Qualio joins Jim, John, and Nina in the studio to talk about some of the books he's written. He writes fiction rooted in local history and local stories. Click HERE to find his books. Then, show favorites Peter and Tracy Flucke swing in with their tandem bike to let us know they're on their way up to Door County for a few days.
