The Lives We Could Save (Hour 2)
Wisconsin lawmakers are about to begin their fall session with so much potential—including the ability to pass gun safety legislation that could save the lives of children, law enforcement officers, and more. We’ll talk to a pediatric critical care physician, the kind of doctors who see far too many children whose lives have been lost […]
Waukesha Schools in Crisis (Hour 2)
Our “Motherhood Monday” segment looks at what can happen when a quality school district becomes infected with politics. Some things are eye-catching—like rejecting free school lunches for kids.

Motherhood: Where’s the Instruction Manual? (Hour 2)
