Luke Mathers
The Longest Season (2nd Hour)
Both President Biden and former President Trump have clinched their party’s nominations after this week’s primaries—and in Madison, Republicans have sent the Legislature home for good. That means campaign season is officially here. We’ll talk to Sen. Jeff Smith and legislative candidate Ann Roe about the things they’ll be saying to voters over the next 236 days.
Standing Up For Students In Our State (Hour 1)
Yesterday, we broke the news that the UW Milwaukee-Waukesha campus is shutting down, despite having the second highest enrollment of any two-year campus. Who is looking out for Wisconsin’s students? Well, we certainly know who isn’t, and that’s the Republican party and the Board of Regents, especially President Jay Rothman.
Our friend Luke Mathers was actually the one to tip us off to that story! Today, he joins us for another edition of Tuesday Tangents. After sharing his perspective on campus closures, he and Todd talk about what’s grinding their gears.

New Maps, New Possibilities (2nd Hour)
The new legislative districts in Wisconsin have opened many options for people who are deciding whether to run for election—or for reelection. Or to retire. We’ll check out the landscape in one key State Senate district in northeast Wisconsin in the quest for a legislature more responsive to voters.
Alternatives To Alternate Side Parking (Hour 1)
Today, we take on the City of Madison! The alternate side parking policy has caused confusion for a long time now, and Todd believes that it’s time to change it. The Isthmus already reserves alternate side parking for snow emergencies, so why can’t we do that citywide? Sign our petition here, or find the link on Facebook and Twitter/X.
Luke Mathers is back from his vacation to the Grand Canyon! He and Todd talk more about Madison parking before updating Luke on “OC” Eric Hovde’s campaign.

Trump’s Self-Conflicting Campaign (Hour 2)
Continuing from our first hour, we take your calls on Donald Trump’s bad behavior this past weekend. Many Trump supporters are experiencing some extreme cognitive dissonance.
At the bottom of the hour, Luke Mathers joins us for some early tangents! He and Todd talk about Trump’s paradoxical campaign, running both as a challenger and self-declared incumbent.

The Right Can’t Figure Out Early Voting (Hour 1)
Wisconsin Republicans are in a bit of a pickle. Brian Schimming, the chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, is encouraging citizens to vote absentee early. However, the presumptive nominee Donald Trump is still claiming that mail-in voting is corrupt. Who are Wisconsin Republicans supposed to listen to?
Next, our friend Luke Mathers brings us some Tuesday Tangents! He and Todd talk about the Birkenbeiner ski event that’s coming up this weekend. Our lack of snowfall is causing all kinds of problems for farmers in the state, and it has also led to shortened course for the Birkie.

Conspiracies Everywhere! (2nd Hour)
We’ll examine the increasing number of polls that show how many conservatives buy into the latest conspiracy theories. And our “Women Win Wisconsin” segment features Sarah Harrison of Brookfield and her decision to run for a seat in the Legislature.
Wisconsin Legislature Passes Evers Maps (Hour 2)
This hour, we listen to the remarks of President Biden on Ukraine, Israel, and Donald Trump’s disregard of NATO. Biden’s pledge to support democracy and our allies lies in stark contrast to Trump’s ignorant and dismissive statement from over the weekend.
BREAKING NEWS: According to the Associated Press, Wisconsin’s state legislature has approved the new maps initially proposed by Governor Evers. The governor has declared that he will sign the maps into law if they pass his desk, provided they have not been tampered with as in previous drafts. The announcement of this decision sends us on a new Tuesday Tangent with Luke Mathers.

The Theory On Conspiracy Theories (Hour 1)
It's Tuesday and you're here, so let's get going! In the first hour, we discuss the conspiracy theories surrounding the Super Bowl and we dig deeper into why people feel the way they do and the difficulty therein on addressing such beliefs with others. Jane and Greg welcome Luke Mathers to further the discussion.

There Is No Negotiation With MAGA (Hour 1)
Todd is back, and he comes to us live from the WGBW studios in Green Bay! A lot happened over the weekend, but Todd focuses on nothing- more specifically, the “nothing” that MAGA Mike Johnson accomplished on the border. The bipartisan bill was declared “dead on arrival” because Donald Trump is still calling the shots, and he refuses to allow Biden to look good. Trump and his followers would throw the whole world under the bus to get ahead, and that’s just what they’re doing with this bill. Additionally, the MAGA movement is still holding aid to Ukraine hostage.
On another edition of Tuesday Tangents, Luke Mathers joins Todd to lament the fact that the GOP-controlled House of Representatives refuses to do anything during this election year.
