How To Break Through The Noise with Trygve Olson (Hour 2)

January 8, 2025

After a break for the holidays, Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is back to answer your questions. One caller asks Trygve how best to convey the danger of Donald Trump without comparing him to Hitler. This all ties back to psychology. Modern media has changed the way people ingest information, and Trygve breaks down some ways to combat this. 

Todd and Trygve also ask What’s Worse: spicy or bland?

Over the weekend, we discovered that ABC News and George Stephanopolous agreed to settle a lawsuit with Donald Trump for approximately $16 million. With other arguably frivolous lawsuits being leveled against people like pollster Ann Selzer, this capitulation sets a dangerous precedent. Will all legacy media outlets give in to legal pressure and essentially admit to things they didn’t do?

Working Through Tragedy Together with Trygve Olson (Hour 1)

December 17, 2024

Todd has made it back from Seattle a bit earlier than expected. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project was intending to guest host the show today, but in light of yesterday’s tragic shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, he and Todd are hosting together. As somebody who has lost a child, Trygve has a unique insight on the impact of events like these on families and communities. 

Todd begins with a review of the information we know so far before asking the question: when is the right time to have policy discussions after tragic events? Is there even a real chance we can enact change while MAGA Republicans have control of our government?

What Makes Seattle Great: The Wisconsin Connection! (Hour 1)

December 13, 2024

Today, Todd comes to us live from Buckley’s on Queen Anne in Seattle, Washington!

Todd and Trygve also welcome Rachel Perry, General Manager of Buckley’s Pubs, to the program! Buckley’s is the official Packers bar of Seattle, and Rachel is gracious enough to allow us to host the show there. 

At the bottom of the hour, our friend Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins us between patients to talk about the state of healthcare and insurance in America.

Todd, Trygve and Dr. Lyerly discuss what we may be able to do to enact change without violence. This complicated issue won’t be solved overnight, but we have to start somewhere. Ending on a lighter note, Dr. Lyerly gives us her predictions for the Packers game.

GOP Reps Are Neglecting Child Abuse Survivors (Hour 1)

December 11, 2024

It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! Todd reads from an article in Mother Jones about concerning cuts to programs that help child abuse survivors. This is not hypothetical, and it’s having real impact right here in our state. Politicians like Tom Tiffany are putting corporate interests over taking care of abused children in Hayward, and we must remember this next time he’s up for reelection.

After that discussion, Todd and Trygve answer questions from listeners about what may happen under President-elect Trump. Between cabinet picks, mass deportation and terminating constitutional amendments, we will have to wait and see how it all pans out. 

Join us on Friday as Todd and Trygve broadcast from Seattle in preparation for Sunday’s Packers game!

How Not To Smuggle A Turkey with Trygve Olson (Hour 1)

November 27, 2024

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join Todd to talk about Thanksgiving traditions. They also provide a roadmap for navigating difficult conversations with your family this holiday season. Political disagreements don’t have to divide your family, but that doesn’t mean you have to stand for verbal abuse or compromise your own beliefs. Trygve’s work around Europe fighting authoritarianism gives him unique experience in guiding people with extreme beliefs back towards reality. The key is to listen and gently point out the contradictions between what they believe in their personal lives and what they advocate for politically. You’re never going to shame someone into changing their mind, but you can help them to discover the truth themselves.
