As we seek ways to stay safe during the coronavirus pandemic, and also find ways to spend our time self-isolating, Doty Land has some highly entertaining reading ideas.  Books that will carry readers high into the branches of trees, far off in time to Stalin’s Siberia, learning how Henry David Thoreau started a fire in his woods, and understanding how all of Galveston was underwater.  Host Gregory Humphrey opines on books that have made an impression to such an extent he wants others to learn of the wonder to be found on their pages.

Indiana Confederate Civil War reenactor Mary Beeman takes us back in time, alerting listeners as to why living history is not only a remarkable way to explore the past, but great for family fun, too.  Host Gregory Humphrey underscores President Lincoln’s character as the Republican nominee casts his 1860 ballot in Springfield.  Plus, a-not-to-miss book about Abe, as recommended by a modern-day president.  With lively music and historical tidbits, we head back to the Civil War era while paying homage to Abe Lincoln.

Recalling the days when the Wisconsin State Legislature was part-time, before air-conditioning and when smoking was allowed.  When male legislators at times made sexist statements, and young staffers learned how to handle their new jobs.  With candor and insight, Jan Grunewald brings alive the memories from under the dome 'back in the day'.  Host Gregory Humphrey and Grunewald offer fond recollections of State Senator Lloyd Kincaid, State Representatives Lary Swoboda, Stan Gruszynski, and Cletus  Vanderperren, along with other memorable faces from the past. In a personal closing commentary, Humphrey allows insight into an uplifting moment for democracy at the Capitol.

Starting soon Doty Land will start podcasting long-form interviews about ideas and issues with interesting people. Too often rancor abounds on the airwaves while many people in the nation want civilized discussion.  From the Madison isthmus those conversations are about to begin.  I ask that you become a part of my audience.  Thanks.
