Prof. Yoshiko Herrera

Rojo’s Rants and Trump’s Ukraine Conundrum

May 29, 2025


In this hour, Maggie takes aim at Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson’s dangerous disinformation—from his anti-vaccine rhetoric to his open contempt for peer-reviewed science. While Johnson spins conspiracy theories and stumbles on basic economic and public health facts, University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor Dr. Yoshiko Herrera brings some foreign policy clarity. She breaks down the geopolitics of the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump’s incoherent stance, and the real-world stakes of continued U.S. support. This hour has it all--political recklessness wrapped in global consequence.

Sleep On It

March 7, 2025

Political Scientist Professor from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Yoshiko Herrera joins Maggie to discuss Donald Trump's Ukraine/Russia foreign policy. It's been quite a ride in! The lack of pressure on Russia doesn't stop Russia. It leads to more fighting. The prospect of war in the US is remote. The prospect of war in Europe, however, is not remote. Plus, Dr. Deepa Burman, Pediatric Sleep Medicine Specialist from the University of Pittsburgh, joins Maggie to help us adjust to the time change. Both kids and adults can have trouble adapting to moving our clocks forward. Dr. Burman says pushing up our bedtime just a few minutes leading up to the change can help us regulate our sleep schedule. She also says there is definitely a correlation between screen time and trouble sleeping. Dr. Burman also encourages us to try and be consistent with our sleep schedule. It's easier said than done! For better sleep, here is what Dr. Burman suggests: Consistency is key, shut off the screens 30-45 minutes before bed, get morning bright light, and dim the lights at night.
