Hello, Green Bay! (Hour 1)
Pat returns from vacation and mimics Thomas Jefferson’s character in Hamilton by asking “What’d I Miss?” Also: While there’s no football news out of Green Bay, we have some show news to share as we welcome Green Bay listeners to the Civic Media radio roster. And Dr. Kristin Lyerly joins us to talk about a past guest whose book was Pat’s vacation read.
Best of UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow (Week of 01/02)
This week, we heard from a lot of great guests. Dr. Kristin Lyerly and Jessica Scharfenberg join us to discuss the dangers of fake pregnancy centers, and how they provide false advice, poorly performed procedures, and divulge patient information at their own discretion. Political analyst Joe Zepecki also joins us to talk about the implications of the Speaker of the House election failure, as well as the release of Donald Trump's tax documents and the January 6th investigation findings. To wrap up, Luke Mathers hops on the show to share where Civic Media is headed for 2023.
Beware of Pregnancy “Centers” (Hour 2)
Crisis Pregnancy Centers claim to be an alternative for women, but medical professionals caution that they fall short in some important areas. Also, our Hometown Health segment discusses how a changing climate is a public health issue.
Buy Robin a Thermometer (Hour 1)
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos believes retirees choose Florida, Arizona, and Texas because of tax policy—conveniently forgetting a little something called winter. Also, Joe Zepecki joins us to discuss Gov. Tony Evers’ second inaugural and the still-gridlocked House Republicans who cannot agree on a Speaker.
Win Stupid Prizes (Hour 1)
The saying goes, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” The chaotic start to the new Congress proves that gerrymandering is the stupid game that gave us the prize of a US House with no Speaker—the first time in 100 years a party has been too dysfunctional to agree on its leadership. Also, Kristin Lyerly filed reports from the inauguration of Gov. Tony Evers to a second term.
Welcome to 2023! (Hour 1)
Between sickness, weather, holidays, and vacations, we made a rather quiet exit to an otherwise loud and busy 2022. We get caught up on some of the headlines that wrapped up the year and begin looking ahead to 2023 expectations.
Giving Peace a Chance—and a Platform
We discuss how a Wisconsin college has a program to build awareness of the continued quest for human rights, dignity, and peace. Robert Pyne, director of the Norman Miller Center for Peace, Justice and Public Understanding at St. Norbert College talks about promoting hope through action.
Make This Crud Go Away! (Hour 1)
We discuss the “tripledemic” that seems to have caused sniffles, aches, pains, lost time, or worse for every American at some point this season—including whatever crud took this show down for two days last week. We get back on track on recent news and a preview of the Packers’ return to action after a long layoff.
