Our State Fairs Are Great State Fairs (Hour 2)
We talk to Rebecca Cooke, the first Democrat to announce a campaign aimed at unseating Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden in the 3rd District. And UpNorthNews has a new reporter but an old friend: Salina Heller and Pat tell stories about their years working in local television news. And on this first day of the Northern Wisconsin State Fair, we review the many fairs out there to enjoy: state, county, and district.

Parental Rights for Me, Not for Thee (Hour 2)
With a growing chorus of voices urging Gov. Tony Evers to veto the Republican’s version of a new state budget, we’ll review the ways Wisconsin taxpayers are already getting fleeced by having to send more money to voucher schools that are less transparent, free to discriminate, and offer at best a mixed bag of results.
Weekly Best of UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow for Jun 24
Gov. Tony Evers signed off on a deal that increases funds for local governments and schools, but it also strengthens the voucher schools that continue to undermine public education. The UW System is still facing a Republican budget cut, even with a record $7 billion surplus. GOP lawmakers tried to sneak through a change that threatens technical college budgets. And those same legislators are trying to kill an affordable childcare program.
Incompatible, Not Uninhabitable
Todd Allbaugh joins Aaron and Luke to talk about noise pollution caused by F-35 fighter jets in Madison. What impact do these jets have on our communities, and how can we be informed about these potentially hazardous noise levels?
Another One Rides The Bus
Today public transportation is the topic of discussion. Todd Allbaugh joins us to provide an inside perspective on how Wisconsinites have been deprived of light railways.
GOP Hearts Biden Broadband (Hour 2)
Republicans running the Wisconsin Legislature say they don’t like how President Biden spends money, but he seems to be their new best friend now that they’re relying on him for expanding high-speed internet in the state—and reducing their contribution to $0 on your behalf. We’ll discuss with state Assembly Rep. Melissa Ratcliff. Also, it’s been a head-spinning week for a major national newsroom. Mark Jacob will help us understand how CNN has fallen so far, so fast.
Keeping the Seat Warm
With Matt on a short vacation, Todd Albaugh takes over the front lines, discussing history in the making.

Reality vs. Rhetoric on Supporting Veterans (Hour 2)
For all the flag waving and tough talk that accompanies some political commercials, you’d think certain politicians would have a better record of support for our military and the men and women who wore the uniform. But there’s a gulf far too often between the rhetoric and the reality. Also, we’ll update some big changes coming next week as Civic Media grows the radio network and its lineup of shows.
