Leigh McGowan
Civic Media Spotlight for Weekend of October 5th & 6th (Hour 1)
First, Earl expresses his frustration and confusion over the number of everyday union workers who are supporting Donald Trump. He goes over who the union's have historically voted for and points out the clear reasons why voting for Trump is anti union.
Then, education author Elizabeth Berkshire shares how voters in battleground states like Wisconsin are pushing back against efforts to weaken or privatize our public schools. And we’ll hear from Harris-Walz battleground director Dan Kanninen about the path to victory in his home state of Wisconsin.
After that, Leigh McGowan aka IAmPoliticsGirl joins the show to talk about her book "A Return To Common Sense", as well as the landscape over the next 36 days on Matenaer On Air.
The hour wraps with Mandy Kimes, Executive Director of the Ripon Area Chamber of Commerce, talking with Todd about the history of the Little White Schoolhouse. One particularly fun story revolves around a community baseball game with team names of Democrats vs Republicans to raise money. The game even ended in a tie!

IAmPoliticsGirl Is Here And Trump Is Out There (Hour 1)
Former president and convicted felon Donald Trump returned to Wisconsin this past weekend and we're still sifting through the clips to find anything that resembled the truth. Outside of that, it was a barrage of untruths and disinformation about a whole host of topics. We move the needle to the positive, as we welcome Leigh McGowan aka iampoliticsgirl to the show. We'll be talking about her book "A Return To Common Sense", as well as the landscape over the next 36 days.
