Keep Our Republic Free From Insurrection (Hour 2)
Lee Rasch, the retired longtime leader of Western Wisconsin Technical College, is part of a new bipartisan group dedicated to defending democracy from those who would undermine election integrity for political purposes.

The People Who Make Dairy Month Happen (Hour 2)
We all know June Dairy Month can’t happen without the cows, but there’s also a particular group of people associated with modern dairy farming in Wisconsin whose efforts go unheralded because they have to do all of their work in the legal shadows thanks to certain politicians. We’ll recognize the importance of the immigrants who […]
Advisory Referendums Under Examine (Hour 2)
The same legislative Republicans who used advisory referendums to boost turnout for a conservative state Supreme Court candidate now want to restrict local units of government from holding advisory referendums, in a case of “democracy for me, but not for thee.”
Watching Out for Our Waterways (Hour 2)
Beyond our roads and skies, we move all kinds of products through our rivers and waterways. But the Mississippi River can’t move all of that Wisconsin corn and cargo if its infrastructure falls apart, and other waterways are endangered by a new US Supreme Court ruling giving a green light to polluters.
Cars, Bikes, and Tractors (Hour 2)
Wisconsin drivers have completed another season of navigating winter roads, but that only means some new types of vehicles will be joining them—motorcycles and tractors. We’ll focus on the farm machinery that still too often is struck by motorists, especially during the planting and harvesting seasons. Plus, an update on Wausau area news with Chad […]
Make Local Control Great Again (Hour 2)
Did you know that in 1911 Wisconsin state government gave a whopping 90% of state revenue to local governments and schools—because that’s where most services take place?

Wind Turbines: Yes? No? It Depends? (Hour 2)
Farmers and landowners in Marathon County are being approached about signing agreements that would allow wind turbines to operate on their land. Is that good or bad? Well, renewable energy is good. Lawsuits are bad. Getting money is good. Confusing contracts are bad. We’ll discuss the many angles involved in this topic and try to […]
First and Third with Nobody Out (Hour 2)
A review of last week’s election results shows why Democrats should be getting active right now in the 1st and 3rd Congressional Districts. Scot Ross, who for years led the liberal group One Wisconsin Now, gives his assessment of how competitive these districts have become—and why it’s important for the party to be out and […]
The Shambolic Michael Gableman (Hour 2)
We talk to one of the attorneys with Law Forward about the ethics complaint the group has filed against former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman over his shambolic “investigation” into the 2020 presidential election. And we’ll recap a community meeting in Abbotsford about the topic of drivers’ licenses and putting road safety ahead of […]
Rural Wisconsin Needs the Tony Evers Budget (Hour 2)
There’s a lot to love in Gov. Tony Evers’ budget proposal for Wisconsin’s rural economy—not just the investments in roads, bridges, broadband, and schools, but also targeted help for increasing exports, modernizing dairy processing plants, and helping food pantries stay stocked with fresh, Wisconsin-grown products.
