Americans are in a friendship recession.

September 7, 2022

Greg Bach co-hosts. American adults are in a friendship recession but, why? Madison’s vibrant Night Market. Wisconsin's historic love of beer and the UW nurse strike is coming.

Hour 1 Hour 2
  • Who does the American Flag belong to these days?
  • It's National Beer Lovers Day - a deep seated tradition in Wisconsin.  So deep that Old World Wisconsin debuted an entire Brewing Experience in 2022. Rob Novak joined to talk about what it's like to brew beer like is 1899.  They have plenty of events you can attend this fall and kids get in free in September (but you still have to be 21 to drink the beer).
Hour 3
  • Evers announced an unlikely education budget wishlist and we ask "What's really news in Wisconsin when you have a divided government?"
  • We never claimed to be a pop culture show, but we can't even escape the 'Don't Worry Darling' drama.
  • UW Health nurses, Will Kiesling and Sarah Quinn, join to talk the pending nurses strike. You can find more information and how to support them here: supportUWnurses.org

TikTok v. Democracy

August 31, 2022

Guest: Greg Bach

Curbing election misinformation via TikTok, the generational influence of music videos, Wisconsin in the wild and the stark difference between Gubernatorial candidates.

Hour 1
  • As Goes Wisconsin sits down with new weekly co-host Greg Bach to discuss a slightly sad (and equally hilarious) “friendzone” mishap at Monday night’s Brewer game. Kristin and Greg further dissect the deeper meaning of “friendzoning.” Regardless, sorry Mark!
  • Ahead of the fast-approaching midterm election, TikTok’s growing platform continues to spread misinformation among U.S voters. But, who's responsible for this misleading content? What's the solution?
Hour 2
  • Did video really kill the radio star? Maybe. Jane shares a fun story about her recent experience with a popular music video and the generational influence of music videos.
  • New segment: Wisconsin in the Wild. How did the crew rate the FX vampire comedy “What happens in the shadows???”’s take on our Wisconsin accent?
Hour 3
  • There’s a stark difference between the current gubernatorial candidates, Tim Michels and Tony Evers. Let’s just say, there's no doubt these two intend to put their money where their mouth is.

Catch us us live every Monday-Friday @ 12pm-2pm on WAUK, WFHR, WXCO!
