Dr. Kristin Lyerly
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 Andraca talks about how the GOP majority is engaged in hypocrisy and double-speak on supporting cops but opposing the measures that could keep them safer.
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 as Democrats gather this weekend in Green Bay.
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 some of the most-read and watched stories on the UpNorthNews social media feeds.
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 acceptance and openness.
Dems in Array (Hour 1)
It’s a well-worn punchline in political circles: “Dems in Disarray!” scream the headlines at the slightest sign that Democrats aren’t marching in lockstep. But compare progressives to what Republicans are going through on two fronts—the public backlash for repealing abortion rights and the internal turmoil over the debt ceiling deal. We’ll visit with Joe Zepecki about the GOP’s attempts to gloss over their differences on both topics.

Join us for this week's visit with Motherhood For Good!
Public Cervix Announcement: Poisonous Sunscreen (Hour 2)
Dr. Kristin Lyerly is here for Public Cervix announcement. We talk mouse breast milk, poisonous sunscreen and Boric acid uses.
Then she sticks around to talk about the article from last week announcing she is considering running against Rep. Mike Gallagher for Congress.
To Give Is to Live (Hour 2)
In this week’s Hometown Health segment, organ donation is being encouraged—by someone who donated one of her kidneys. Dr. Cara Syth discusses what led her to provide such a precious gift so that someone else’s life could benefit.
Florida Man: Ron ‘DiSaster’ (Hour 1)
In the presidential campaign Hall of Shame you’ll find Jeb! Bush muttering, “Please clap.” There’s Scott Walker’s 71-day mark for shortest flameout. Now you can add Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis disastrous rollout on Twitter. We also mark the passing of singing legend Tina Turner. And Joe Zepecki reviews the progress—if you could call it that—being made by Republicans working on a new state budget.
