  • Civic Media Spotlight for Weekend of October 19th & 20th (Hour 1)

    Dom and Jess dig into the saddest dance party ever after Trump ended his town hall super early. And this is the man who claims that he's the fittest person to run for office and that it's HARRIS who's health should concern us! So we look at Harris' medical report and break it down. And you know, it's damn good, for anyone let alone a 59-year-old candidate for the most stressful job in the world.

    Then, the Chad Holmes Show is joined by 7th District Congressional Democratic nominee Kyle Kilbourn to discuss the issues in his race against incumbent Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany.

    After that on UpNorthNews Radio, US Senator Tammy Baldwin joins our friends from Motherhood for Good in our Women Win Wisconsin segment.

  • Scary movies and some good news (Hour 2)

    At the top of the hour, it is, of course Maggie and the Millionaires Talking Money. Her special guest today is Michael Madowitz. Mike is the principal economist for the Roosevelt Institute, a think tank that focuses on corporate and public power, labor and wages, and the economics of race and gender inequality. Mike also serves on the Data Users Advisory Committee for the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. He and Maggie talk about inflation, a critical issue to many Americans. For all the attention "inflation" receives in political advertising and on debate stages, many of us lack a solid understanding of it. Not to mention how it actually affects the economy. So, now a few answers!

    And then, it's the last half hour on Friday. So, it's time for What's Good, Local, and Overlooked with Civic Media's own Teri Barr. First up, cranberries!

  • Beyond the talking points (Hour 1)

    Yesterday was the annual Al Smith Catholic charity dinner, an event notorious for an 'anything goes' comedy lineup. Well, some folks brought genuine humor. Kamala Harris sent in an entertaining video that struck balance between reaching out to Catholic voters and light jabs at Trump. Trump himself brought shame to himself and the event through transphobic and anti-woman rhetoric. More shameful still, the guest list for the event included Milwaukee's former Archbishop Tim Dolan.

    Kristin Alfheim, candidate for Wisconsin's 18th Senate District seat, joins Maggie for the second half hour. Kristin focuses on the issues that matter most to Wisconsin voters. The issues that attract and retain people to her community. She is committed to advocating strongly for the people of the Fox Valley. Kristin sees the reliance on talking points that divide us as a huge problem. She urges us to dig deeper into the problems facing America. More important still, we need to move beyond the "us vs. them" approach. We all need education. We all need agriculture. We all need clean air and water. It's for all of us. We can work towards solutions together, to keep this great state moving forward!
