Take the Win (Hour 1)
Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki has a simple message for progressives unhappy with the school funding agreement between Gov. Tony Evers and legislative Republicans: Take the win. There are many ways the next state budget could be far worse for schools had they not helped Evers win reelection. Instead, long-overdue extra help is coming to public […]
What’s in a (weird) name? (Hour 2)
We have another edition of Public Cervix Announcement with Dr. Kristin Lyerly. This week we break down the following health headlines: We end the show taking stories from folks on what it’s like to grow up with a weird name.
Buyer Beware: Cosmetics (Hour 2)
In this week’s Hometown Health segment, Dr. Kristin Lyerly talks to a nuclear analyst-turned-cosmetics creator, whose Wisconsin-based lab works on personal care products that are both natural and functional—a combination often seen as either-or in the make-up aisle.
Signs of Hope and a Bitter Pill (Hour 2)
As Wisconsin Democrats gathered for their annual convention, legislators celebrated recent success in statewide elections, expressed optimism about 2024, and groaned over the prospect of supporting a compromise bill with Republicans that provides more funding for local governments and public schools while also making the voucher school program even stronger. We’ll talk to Joint Finance […]
Three-Term Tony (Hour 1)
Gov. Tony Evers shows he’s no stranger to Wisconsin politics, saying something at this weekend’s state Democratic convention that already has people talking about 2026.

A Uterus is like a Puppet (Hour 2)
Dr. Kristin Lyerly is back for another edition of Public Cervix announcement and this week we talk about PFAS’ affect on pregnant women and their children’s BMI, an endometriosis breakthrough, and the role Surgeon General Warnings play in our culture and on our health. Then Chris Drosner joins for our monthly Wisconsin Beer Roundup.
Guns and Responsibility (Hour 2)
There is overwhelming public support for some basic gun safety proposals because there is overwhelming support for responsible gun ownership rather than encouraging a Wild West culture that endangers our kids and our law enforcement officers. A Green Bay police officer talks about it in this week’s Hometown Health segment. And state Assembly Rep. Deb […]
Shortcuts, Not Solutions (Hour 1)
When Republicans in the Legislature start rejecting ideas favored by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, you know it’s a group of GOP lawmakers who’ve lost the ability to govern and are simply content saying no to everything. We’ll talk to Joe Zepecki about this week’s headlines, and we’ll ask what happens at the state party conventions […]
Allow Myself to Introduce Myself (Hour 1)
Austin Powers quote notwithstanding, we’re excited to be introducing ourselves to new listeners today as the Civic Media radio network grows to include stations in the Chippewa Valley, La Crosse, Hayward, and more. We’ll review some of the weekend headlines, get our regular Monday morning visit from Dr. Kristin Lyerly, and have Cherita Booker review […]
The Health Benefits of Drag Shows (Hour 2)
Don’t the folks in the “anti-woke” crowd seem ideal candidates for high blood pressure? That’s not an actual medical diagnosis, but we’ll have an actual doctor in the house—along with a Green Bay area drag performer—to talk about how there might be mental health benefits to taking part in activities that create an atmosphere of […]
