What’s it like to be the most beloved Badger in Wisconsin?

This week on Inside Wisconsin, we’re joined by Nolan BlomWillis — one of the UW students who had the honor of bringing Bucky Badger to life.

We talk about the tryouts, the traditions, the game days, the secrecy, the sweat, the stories, and what it’s really like to wear one of the most iconic mascot heads in college sports.

From Camp Randall to the Kohl Center and everywhere Bucky shows up, Nolan gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to represent Wisconsin as everybody’s favorite Badger.

On, Wisconsin.

From just outside of Watertown to the dugout at UW-Milwaukee, Shaun Wegner’s Wisconsin baseball story runs deep.

The Manager of the Milwaukee Panthers Baseball team joins Trevor and Dario on the next episode of the Inside Wisconsin Podcast, and there is a whole lot of Panther Pride — pun absolutely intended.

Shaun played for the Panthers. Now he leads the program. And through it all, his pride in UWM, Milwaukee baseball, and the state of Wisconsin comes through loud and clear.

We talk about his journey from Lebanon, Wisconsin, to becoming Horizon League Champs… the “come to Jesus” moment that helped turn the season around… beating Auburn on its home field in the NCAA Tournament Regionals… and, yes, an incredible story about a bison named Carl.

We go Behind the Cheddar Curtain with Shaun Wegner on the Inside Wisconsin Podcast.
