Last month, Wisconsin Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany introduced a bill that would designate the Apostle Islands as the state’s first national park. However, not everyone is thrilled with the idea, Mary Dougherty Bayfield County Board of Supervisors joins the show to talk about how their city officials have been left out of the conversation and how infrastructure and tourism can be detrimental to the city of Bayfield.

Kristin Brey is holding down the fort today as Brian has contracted Covid. Kristin contemplates how society feels about “Super Spreader Events” as dozens of DNC attendees have now tested positive for the virus. Kristin then talks to Mary Dougherty of Bayfield on her feelings about the proposal to have the Apostle Islands be a National park to the detriment of the city. Later she speaks to Wendy Kamberling about the scholarship in the name of the late Prince McCree who was murdered in Milwaukee. Kristin also quizzes Steve Scaffidi with the U.S. Naturalization test, before breaking down your third-party choices on your November ballot with Editor JR Ross.

Kristin and Brian are back in the studio! They tackle streaming wars and how multiple platforms are making this NFL season harder to watch at home and at the bars. Then they talk to Content Creator and DNC speaker John Russell about his past working in politics and thoughts on where the working class should side politically. They also spin the state and get an inside perspective on Cow Chip Throwing. Then it's National Dog Day and Brian and Kristin share what Wisconsin's National Dog is!
