  • And now, some good news, thank goodness!(Hour 2)

    Jim Santelle continues covering developing legal news as he covers the show for Maggie. For her weekly segment, Teri Barr brings local but overlooked news. Today, some good news from the region. First, putting the rad in radish, UW- La Crosse introduces a new major, Food and Nutrition Sciences. Next, did you know that Wisconsin has the coolest pet store in the country? Check out the Crazy Dog Mom in Stoughton for more than doggie treats- they have doggie parties and seasonal events!

    Still, we must take time for somber news and serious reflection. Jim analyzes the legal standards on which the alleged shooter and his father will be judged in the Apalachee High School attack on Wednesday. Both made their first court appearances yesterday.

    • “We the People” means all of us (Hour 1)

      Matt Rothschild in the host seat today for Maggie. Joining Matt is Angela Lang, executive director of Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (BLOC) and current vice president of the board for ACLU Wisconsin. She and Matt address pressing needs facing our democracy, such as increasing voter access. A staggering percentage of our population cannot fulfill their civic right and responsibility to vote because they have felony records. In Wisconsin, a felony record does not prevent a citizen from voting- only an active sentence. But it's complicated, and many people are dissuaded from attempting to vote.

      For the third segment, Peter Barca joins the duo to talk about why he's running to represent Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District again. Peter has a long history of representing Wisconsin and fighting for his constituents' rights. He's looking forward to getting back to his favorite work, moving Wisconsin forward.

    • CEOs are absolutely not worth that much(Hour 2)

      • Do they actually hear themselves (Hour 1)

        JD Vance and friends seem to particularly enjoy saying weird and frankly offensive things when it comes to the role of women in their world.
