What Van Orden Doesn’t Want You To Know (Hour 1)
Derrick Van Orden is up to his old tricks. Over the weekend, he announced that he’s running for reelection as congressman of Wisconsin’s 3rd district. In his video, he’s wearing flannel, jeans, and a ball cap, playing the role of the good-natured rural Wisconsinite. However, there’s something that he wants you to forget about: Van […]
Why Women Are Running (2nd Hour)
Our new Women Win Wisconsin segment highlights a Marquette County resident who wants to make a difference in the Legislature. And we’ll ask Dr. Kristin Lyerly about a troubling trend in new proposals to ban abortion care—legal language that would force women to endure dangerous or unwanted procedures when a pregnancy goes horribly wrong.
Happy Quitters Day! (Hour 2)

A Weak Showing For Trump (Hour 1)
Last night, the Iowa caucus was held in Dubuque, with Donald Trump predictably winning at approximately 51% of the vote.

If those individuals think Trump is the rightful president, why did they […]
The Glamorous Life of a Candidate
Political candidates used to carefully control their image through consultants, professional photographers, and so on. But in the social media age, we see much more “real life” from the people seeking our vote—including a mom who had to switch gears and shoot a video as wet heavy snow pummeled Wisconsin. We’ll learn more about Emily […]
Uphill Both Ways (Hour 1)
Winter storm advisories and warnings continue to develop across the state. Stay safe out there! If you must travel, you can use 511WI.gov to monitor road conditions on your route.

Covid Booster Coasters and Immigration Reform (Hour 1)
At Perry High School in Iowa, America’s first school shooting of 2024 took place, killing one and injuring five.

The UW Punching Bag (Hour 1)
First up on today’s show, we celebrate what would have been Bob Barker’s 100th birthday.

Today, the Universities of Wisconsin’s Board of Regents meet to discuss the deal that they […]
