  • Overlooked Legal News (Hour 2)

    Guest host Jim Santelle covers legal news you likely haven't heard yet. Not because they're unimportant- but because they're less flashy than the political news and disinformation that has dominated the news cycles this past month. Jim analyzes several cases currently under various steps of the legal process. His sources come directly from the Department of Justice, and he emphasizes the necessity to get your information from reliable, reputable sources.

    Up first this hour, Air Force Veteran Roy Rogers joins Jim and John to talk a bit about his experience in the military, which includes the story of stepping on a land mine in combat and losing part of his hand. But also shares an extremely interesting and funny story about his "famous" name. It involves George Washington, Anita Bryant and outhouses.. An amazing story! You've gotta listen!

    Then, Busted Pencils has a conversation with Dr. Joe Gothard, incoming superintendent of the Madison Metropolitan School District about equity and excellence. Dr Gothard shares his commitment to elevating both equity AND excellence for all students in the district. He has a strong history of doing just that in his previous role as superintendent of the St. Paul School District of Minnesota. In this segment, Dr. Gothard shares his experiences from Spring 2020, a tumultuous time he navigated as a leader with the Covid pandemic unfolding and the social turmoil following the murder of George Floyd. In his experiences, Dr. Joe has developed a simple question he asks constantly that cuts to the heart of education's purpose: how are the children?

    The week ends with a segment from Nite Lite with Pete Schawaba, when he was joined by comedian, actor, and artist Steve Seagren joins the show. Pete and Steve talk Wiffleball, what Steve is painting, and then shares songs that he can be happy never hearing again.
