Healthy Changes, Real Football
Thank goodness, it's Busted Pencils First Downs and Friday Night Lights!
Civic Media WXCO Operations Manager and host Chad Holmes joins Tim and Johnny to talk about some changes in high school football. Many schools in Wisconsin are moving to an 8-player game from the traditional 11-player model. The move brings real promise in terms of making the game accessible to schools that can't fill a roster for 11-player. Plus, it may just be a safer version of the game. But that doesn't mean everyone is convinced yet. Hear what our educated educators think of the matter!

Civic Media Spotlight for Weekend of October 19th & 20th (Hour 1)
Dom and Jess dig into the saddest dance party ever after Trump ended his town hall super early. And this is the man who claims that he's the fittest person to run for office and that it's HARRIS who's health should concern us! So we look at Harris' medical report and break it down. And you know, it's damn good, for anyone let alone a 59-year-old candidate for the most stressful job in the world.
Then, the Chad Holmes Show is joined by 7th District Congressional Democratic nominee Kyle Kilbourn to discuss the issues in his race against incumbent Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany.
After that on UpNorthNews Radio, US Senator Tammy Baldwin joins our friends from Motherhood for Good in our Women Win Wisconsin segment. We’ll talk about her work to protect women’s healthcare rights, fight the factors that are contributing to inflation, and cut the flow of fentanyl across our borders—if only a certain ex-president hadn’t put politics ahead of solutions.
To wrap the hour, Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba is joined by Jeff Tully & Jamie Kaler who both work for National Lampoon. Jamie and Jeff talk Dogs or Cats. Then Jeff and Jamie talk about acting roles, National Lampoon, and the younger generation.

Civic Media Spotlight for Weekend of October 5th & 6th (Hour 2)
Kicking off the hour, the Chad Holmes Show discusses the Wausau Ballot Drop Box being returned and we discuss where we stand and where we go with Nancy Stencil.
Then, in honor of playoff baseball, Maggie talks with the youngest living player to run the bases with the Negro Leagues, Dennis Biddle. Mr. Biddle shares some of his most impactful experiences on the diamond and in his life since. He started Yesterday's Negro league Baseball Players Foundation in 1996 to support players and their legacies.
Next, Charles Franklin Professor of Law and Public Policy and Director of the Marquette Law School Poll joins the Dom Salvia Show for a half hour the day of his most recent poll dropping. Charles brings some good news for the Harris-Walz ticket and for Tammy Baldwin in the most recent poll.

Discombobricated (Hour 2)
Naturally, with Dan Shafer appearing from The Discombobulation Area, we had to research the etymology of that special word, only to end up down the rabbit hole of early 1800s mock-Latin as a source of humor. Hey, anything for a quick diversion from politics, of which Dan will share aplenty. Also, White House senior advisor Neera Tanden recently spoke in Chippewa Falls about more Biden-Harris investments in rural Wisconsin. We’ll cover her remarks with dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser.

A Huge Difference Among the Veeps (Hour 2)
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is very good at campaign messaging, as demonstrated in some of his quotes from his Labor Day appearance in Milwaukee. Meanwhile, the vice presidential nominee on the other side of the ballot has no shortage of opinions on how little he thinks of women who seek a professional career.

Joe Biden: A Leader For All Americans (Hour 1)
To begin today’s show, we recap President Biden’s Oval Office address from last night. It was essentially his formal withdrawal from the race. He also expressed gratitude for the support he has received over his political career, calling Americans to action to continually support democracy.
Todd reviews Joe Biden’s political legacy, highlighting a moment from 2012 when the then-Vice President broke from Obama’s position to support marriage equality. This clip is a perfect example of Joe Biden’s willingness to own up to mistakes and grow as a human being. In part, we have Biden to thank for the marriage equality rights we enjoy today. We take some emotional calls on the topic. Our very own Chad Holmes, host of The Chad Holmes Show on WXCO Bull Falls Radio in Wausau, calls in to share his thoughts.
Kamala Harris has released her first campaign ad, and it’s appropriately energetic. We play it for you and explain our thoughts.
