You Say It’s Your Birthday (Hour 1)
Not gonna lie—the host of this daily radio program has been a little off as he approached today’s milestone birthday. It’s the last live show for the week, so he’s decided the best course of action is to kick back and invite friends to come on for informal chats rather than traditional news interviews. That includes our favorite Wisconsin power couple: Melissa Baldauff and Joe Zepecki.
