Maino and the Mayor

Matt Worzala with the Green Bay Fringe Fest makes a stop to give us an early update on the event, which is coming up July 17th through the 20th. The festival describes itself this way: “The Green Bay Fringe Festival is a confluence of diverse and vibrant artists and audiences. Our mission is to create a radical platform that celebrates art on the periphery and fosters collaboration, dialogue, and innovation between performers and audiences alike. Through an eclectic mix of performances, exhibitions, and educational programs, we aim to make the arts accessible, inclusive, and equitable for all. We strive not just to entertain but to provoke thought, inspire change, and weave the ethos of ‘fringe’ into the cultural tapestry of our community.” We all know that it’s a great artistic event in our community, and we love it. Then Brad Stillmank from Stillmank Brewing Company slides in with our Maino & The Mayor Top Craft Pick promotion. Brad and his wife Erin started Stillmank in 2011. Leaning on the popularity of their first creation, Wisco Disco, they purchased the former Builders Supply warehouse on Green Bay’s East side. Dipping into hard seltzers and spirits, they continue to try to innovate on new ideas and products. We’re happy they’re a part of our Top Craft Pick Promotion.

The hour begins with veteran Chuck Wellens. Chuck has been a guest on the show before, and he joins us to help kick off a new feature we’re featuring on our website called “Remembering Vietnam“. Like many of the men and women who served, Chuck didn’t want to talk much about his experience until many years later. We’re all better because he’s decided to share his story with all of us. “Remembering Vietnam” is sponsored by THE Dispensary. Our “Veterans Salute” is brought to you by Olson Legal Group, LLC in Berlin and Oshkosh. Then some great friends from Marinette make the drive in. Mayor Steve Genisot and the Director of Marketing and Tourism, Shawn Katzbeck, gave an update on what’s going on in the city. From housing and jobs to education and entertainment, Marinette really is a great community to visit and also live.

We start the morning chatting about Saturday night’s Duke loss. We’re heartbroken for Kon Knueppel and the rest of the Duke team. We all felt like family after chatting with his mom and dad last week on the show. Then Civic Media meteorologist Brittney Merlot joins the guys to give us a glimpse of the forecast for the week ahead. Jim and John put her on the spot for an extended forecast for the upcoming draft. While we’re still a bit too far out to know for sure, she does expect some warmer temperatures, but a possible storm system could move through at some time that week. She told us to stay tuned for more details next week.

Delorean Walls is back in the studio to discuss food insecurities in Northeast Wisconsin. Did you know that approximately one in three people in our communities is considered food insecure? Working with Feeding America, Delorean is involved with several upcoming events to discuss what can be done in our communities and food drives to combat the situation. One of the events is the Packers Superfan Food Drive coming up at 1st and Goal in Green Bay on Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7-10pm. He will also attend an Advocacy Day in Madison with Feeding America. A very eye-opening segment! Another eye-opening segment included Greta Gaworek and Sarah Kubiak from Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Northeast Wisconsin. The organization is always in need of “bigs”, but they’re also promoting the “Big Draft 25” which is pushing to gain 10,000 Bigs in 60 days. Locally, they need just 32 more bigs to meet their part of the nationwide 10,000 goal.

Amelie Eiding and Jonathan Kresin began their musical journey in Green Bay, where Amelie was a foreign exchange student. Their high-school romance turned into a 7,000 km long-distance relationship and evolved into a dynamic musical partnership and marriage. We love them and their story! 

Amelie also announces that she is the Swedish voice for Snow White in Disney's live-action remake and sings a snippet. They also share the process in creating their upcoming 3rd album, Why We Do What We Do:

From songs about mental health and self-discovery to anthems made for singing along live, this album is our love letter to you—the people who make it all possible.

This hour, we celebrate the blues from Negaunee, Michigan. Lorrie Hayes, an old friend of Maino, joins with members of the Flat Broke Blues Band. Lorrie shares her story of getting into the music scene in the U.P., what it takes to make it in the music industry, and offers advice for younger musicians who are grinding to make a go of it. We get a chance to sample some of their great music, and it’s awesome!

We start the hour premiering a new feature that the guys are working on to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. It’s called Remembering Vietnam, and it’s sponsored by our friends at THE Dispensary. This feature will run through the end of the year, telling the story of military men and women who served during the war. We thank the military members for their service and THE Dispensary for helping us tell these stories in our communities! Jacob Hetterscheidt and Brandon Danforth from THE Dispensary will also join us to talk more about the products and services they are creating and producing in the world of hemp! Here’s the thing. Got questions? Stop into one of their many locations in Northeast Wisconsin and ask!
