GOP Reps Are Neglecting Child Abuse Survivors (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday, and that means a visit from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! Todd reads from an article in Mother Jones about concerning cuts to programs that help child abuse survivors. This is not hypothetical, and it’s having real impact right here in our state. Politicians like Tom Tiffany are putting corporate interests over taking care of abused children in Hayward, and we must remember this next time he’s up for reelection.
After that discussion, Todd and Trygve answer questions from listeners about what may happen under President-elect Trump. Between cabinet picks, mass deportation and terminating constitutional amendments, we will have to wait and see how it all pans out.

Civic Media Spotlight for Weekend of December 7th, 2024 (Hour 1)
Kicking off this hour, the Earl Ingram Show is joined by Wisconsin's own Ben Wikler to discuss his bid for Chairman of the National Democratic party and the reasons he believes the Democrats did not see the results they wanted in November.
Then on UpNorthNews Radio, Ron ‘Duff’ Martin, an Eau Claire teacher who serves on the executive board of the National Education Association, talked about how this week’s overturning of Act 10 by a court can play a role in improving public education in Wisconsin. There will still be appeals of the ruling that strikes down former Gov. Scott Walker’s signature law that gutted public employee unions in the state in 2011, but Martin said if the final outcome is the reinstatement of collective bargaining rights, then unions will be able to negotiate working conditions that will help retain teachers and address worsening shortages, especially in rural districts.
On Matenaer On Air this week, former assembly candidate and county party volunteer Emily Tseffos joined the show to discuss what the Democrats need to do post election and the conversations that need to be had. She also speaks about the conversations that need to be had between voters and what keeps us connected and not divided. Emily also speaks about what needs to happen on the county party level with regard to long range planning for future elections.
The hour wraps with a segment from the Maggie Daun Show, where Maggie shares her takes on the news of the week that a county judge has ruled certain portions of the 2011 Act 10 unconstitutional and what is likely to come next in the battle to return collective bargaining rights back to public sector unions.

Happy Saddle Up Day with Pat Kreitlow (Hour 1)
It’s Wednesday, and that means Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio is here to sift through the week’s news with Todd! Trygve Olson normally joins us, but he has to appear tomorrow instead.

According to Humans United for Multiple Protuberance Sensitivity (HUMPS), referring to Wednesday as “hump day” is discriminatory toward certain types of camels. Hump day is named for the single-humped dromedary camel, while the two-humped bactrian camel is left out. Listen in to learn more about the plight of the bactrian camel.

How Not To Smuggle A Turkey with Trygve Olson (Hour 1)
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project join Todd to talk about Thanksgiving traditions. They also provide a roadmap for navigating difficult conversations with your family this holiday season. Political disagreements don’t have to divide your family, but that doesn’t mean you have to stand for verbal abuse or compromise your own beliefs. Trygve’s work around Europe fighting authoritarianism gives him unique experience in guiding people with extreme beliefs back towards reality. The key is to listen and gently point out the contradictions between what they believe in their personal lives and what they advocate for politically. You’re never going to shame someone into changing their mind, but you can help them to discover the truth themselves.

Civic Media Spotlight for the Week of November 18th (Hour 1)
On the Dom Salvia Show, Maggie Daun sticks around after her 2-4pm show to do some Overtime radio-ing with Dom as she does every Tuesday! On this week's Over Time w/Maggie Daun, former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman faces a SERIOUS disciplinary filing from our state's Office of Lawyer Regulations. For, well, violating just about every attorney ethics standard there is.
Then on the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd dives into the story developing in Mauston, where a series of failed referendums to fund their public schools have left the school district in dire straits. They may have to dissolve completely! With the help of a caller who used to teach in Milwaukee, Todd explains how we got to this point, as well as some tricky ways our GOP-led state legislature diverts even more money to private schools.
After that on UpNorthNews Radio, whatever reason folks were thinking of when voting for Donald Trump, they’d better prepare for the impact on food prices and the economy. Dairy farmer Hans Breitenmoser talks to Pat Kreitlow about how mass deportations would cripple every part of America’s food supply chain and higher tariffs would lead to skyrocketing grocery prices.
In the final segment of this Spotlight, the John and Gordy Show is joined by Tim Slekar of the BustED Pencils podcast, to talk about the second Trump Administration’s announcement of Linda McMahon as the Secretary of Education.
