What Makes Wisconsin Great: Elections and Coffee (Hour 1)
On the second day of Todd and Trygve’s What Makes Wisconsin Great Tour, the crew broadcasts live from Wonderstate Coffee in Viroqua, WI! This week, Todd is taking a bus across the state with Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project and Reed Galen of The Union.
Right at the beginning of the show, we are joined by Lee Rasch, the Executive Director of LeaderEthics Wisconsin. He’s here not just to debunk election disinformation, but to “prebunk” the lies we are most likely to hear in the coming weeks. Learn more about Lee’s work at leaderethicswi.org!
At the bottom of the hour, TJ Semanchin, Co-Owner and President of Wonderstate Coffee, hops on the show to tell us about his company’s wonderful sustainable roastery and cafes around the state!

2023 Special: Fights Past and Present
Author Samuel Freedman's book, "Into the Bright Sunshine," tells the story of how a Minnesota senator and a Wisconsin congressman sparked a political earthquake at the 1948 Democratic convention, putting the party on a path to pass the Civil Rights Act. We also revisit interviews with Sam Wang of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, Lee Rasch, and former US Rep. Dick Gephardt on efforts to restore trust and integrity to Wisconsin elections.
