Let’s Talk Pets
This week’s issue goes to the dogs…and cats…and all the animals. The Cover Story is on J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue. Teri Barr brings us stories on how pets and people help each other, and Radio for Pets. We’ll look at the adoptable pets at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. Peter and Tracy Fluke explain how to stay safe when walking or biking in the winter. We’ll look back in time with the Richland County Historical Society. Meteorologist Brittney Merlot looks at how pets deal with the cold. And a heartfelt recollection of the best dog, ever, by Amanda Nimmer with a message about not giving up on pets.

Literacy & Safety
Former radio pro and all-around great guy Eric Sponholtz with Literacy Green Bay joins the guys to discuss Giving Tuesday and the opportunities our listeners have to support organizations like Literacy Green Bay. Eric also suggests volunteering at the organization as a way to give back. Then, our biking friends Peter and Tracy Flucke are in to discuss winter safety for walkers and bikers. (If you're wondering, yes. They did ride their tandem bike to the studio. Yes...in this bitterly cold weather!) Some of their suggestions include wearing ice spikes on your shoes and wearing bright and reflective clothing (because it's so dark out this time of year). Check out their website if you'd like to follow them on their biking journey.

October is Manufacturing Month, and NBC26 is telling the story of companies all over the area that make international products.

Bellin Sports Medicine & Tandem Bikes (Hour 2)
Mark Husen joins us in the studio from Bellin Sports Medicine and he's got great information about "heat stress". When temperatures get this hot, this fast, sometimes we don't think about how the heat can affect our bodies, whether we're working out or just doing everyday things outside. This is great information for all of us! Then our favorite tandem bikers, Peter and Tracy Flucke, join us LIVE from the road on their trip to New York! This morning they check in about 50 miles east of Wheeling, WV. We've been following them on their Facebook page, and you should, too! Click HERE.
