Footloose (Hour 1)
Today’s music marks the birthday of Yacht Rock icon Kenny Loggins, so forgive the play on song titles—but we’ll feature social media manager Cherita Booker in our first hour to describe how things are, ahem, footloose on the various platforms where she juggles where to put each of our various stories.

The Stories Of 2024 (Hour 2)
We spend a little extra time getting to know UpNorthNews social media manager Cherita Booker. We discuss the tradition of a holiday lasagna or ravioli—hey, it can’t be turkey and ham every holiday, right? And as she reviews our more popular social media posts of the past week, we pass judgement on a place that serves a Bloody Mary with a “garnish” made up of a cannibal sandwich, the kind made with raw ground beef.

Act 10: The Sham Is Finally Over. For Now. (Hour 1)
Act 10, the 2011 Scott Walker law that stripped away rights from public workers, was always based on a sham premise: that state workers could be fairly divided into two groups, one that would be exempt from losing rights—coincidentally, the same group of unions that endorsed Scott Walker in 2010. The willful blindness of (coincidentally!) conservative judges and justices finally came to an end on Monday.

JD Vance Is So Over It, Okay? (Hour 1)
JD Vance would like women and minorities to stop getting offended “at every little thing,” like when white man make jokes about women and minorities. The GOP running mate told an audience in Wausau on Monday that he’s “so over it.” So if you don’t mind, he’d like to get back to insulting Kamala Harris’s intelligence and patriotism. Also: Cherita Booker has some of our popular social media posts—like the one about Jolly Good Soda—and Christina Lorey talks about the very informal, very unscientific ways to conduct a presidential poll.
