Joe Zepecki
Getting Healthy as a Community (Hour 2)
Kicking off her “Hometown Health” series, Dr. Kristin Lyerly introduces us to a long-running community effort in Brown County to encourage healthy behaviors and a better infrastructure for improving public health. The hour begins with background on a case that could sink the Supreme Court candidacy of a conservative judge, after someone out on bail nearly killed their in-laws. And Joe Zepecki tells us the consequences of the US Senate election in Georgia and whether he thinks it will cause the Republican Party to consider less extreme candidates in the future.

Weekly Best of UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow (Week of 10/31)
This week on Up North News Radio, Pat covers Republican attempts to "prove" faults in our election system by committing fraud themselves. Just because you theoretically can rob a bank doesn't mean banks all need to be shut down.
Pat is also joined by Joe Zepecki and Matthew Rothschild to discuss various subjects including the corruption in campaign spending. We round out the hour with some of your calls, as well as a short message from Pat about the purpose of this show.
Thanks for listening!

Losing Track of Ron Johnson’s Scandals. (Oct 27 – Hour 1)
Wisconsin’s senior senator says he always tells the truth—except for that time when he promised not to run for a third term. In reviewing the many things he’s done and said, it’s become easy to forget some of them, like a trust fund that’s paid $0 in state taxes. Wait, that was this week and it’s already been pushed aside by other outrageous quotes.
19 Days.
As the clocks ticks onward toward Election Day, we get an update on Wisconsin’s top races from political analyst Joe Zepecki.
