You Say It’s Your Birthday (Hour 1)
Not gonna lie—the host of this daily radio program has been a little off as he approached today’s milestone birthday.

Now He ‘Loves’ Milwaukee? (1st Hour)
Former President Donald Trump told a crowd Tuesday that he loves Milwaukee.

Building Back Better (Hour 1)
We’ve had a lot to say about the climate and energy benefits in the Inflation Reduction Act, but in this week’s Climate Check segment, Melissa Baldauff helps us go back to the beginning—when the bill was known as President Biden’s Build Back Better plan before it went through the congressional sausage grinder. It’s a lesson […]
Trump Chickens Out (Hour 1)
Former President Trump said repeatedly that he was being unfairly restrained and that he couldn’t wait to testify. A porn star did. His former “fixer” did. That guy at the National Enquirer did.

Liberty and Justice FOR ALL (Hour 1)
New video shows Eric Hovde messing up on the Pledge of Allegiance, but the words he forgot aren’t necessarily the most important ones to emphasize.

UpNorthNews with Pat Kreitlow airs on several stations across […]
AWOL Again (Hour 1)
Legislative Republicans ignore another special session call from Gov. Evers and continue to hold hostage $125 million to clean up contaminated drinking water in Wisconsin unless they’re allowed to limit how polluters are prosecuted. And in our weekly Climate Check, an update on the citizen-scientist project to monitor air quality in Beloit and gauge the […]
Tough Transitions (Hour 1)
In this week’s Climate Check, we talk to Melissa Baldauff about the transition period from fossil fuel to renewable energy when it comes to where communities get their power.
