TJ Semanchin
Weekly Best of Todd Allbaugh Show for Apr 19
From Tuesday's show: How Trump’s Policies Are Wrecking Your Coffee (Hour 2)
We welcome TJ Semanchin, Owner and President of Wonderstate Coffee! He and his Viroqua-based business are part of what makes Wisconsin great. Wonderstate has developed relationships with coffee farmers around the world to ensure that they are fairly compensated for the excellent coffee they grow. However, from cutting USAID to implementing nonsensical tariffs, the Trump administration’s actions are causing companies like Wonderstate to either increase prices or shut down entirely. For coffee in particular, low supply has already increased prices before these tariffs.
From Friday's show: Saving Hearts and Killing Rats by Doug Moe (Hour 2)
At the bottom of the hour, Madison-based author Doug Moe returns to the show to talk about his latest book, Saving Hearts and Killing Rats: Karl Paul Link and the Discovery of Warfarin. It’s an incredible Wisconsin story and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Wisconsin Book of the Month.
Saving Hearts and Killing Rats is available for purchase from Henschel Haus Publishing and your local bookstore.

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!
