Dive into the heart of community issues with 'Lean Local,' hosted by former Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt. This refreshing political and issues program bypasses traditional left-versus-right rhetoric. Instead, it 'leans local' with insightful discussions and grassroots solutions, focusing on what truly matters in our neighborhoods and communities.

Kicking off the hour, Matenaer On Air speaks about what took place at the US Capitol 4 years ago and why we need to always remember the actions of those who tried to stand in the way of our elections and never give into the rewriting of those who stood by, supported and/or participated as "patriots" or "hostages".

After that on Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba, Madison Musician, Katie Scullin joins the show. Katie talks about what she has been doing over the past couple months. Katie shares she is writing and recording music for an album! Katie sings a song live in the studio titled "Sweet Escape."

On the Dom Salvia Show, Dom, with cohost of the day Jim Santelle, talks with Jack Kelly, statehouse reporter for Wisconsin Watch on the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Read Jack's most recent piece on the current and potential future status of the state's highest court here. With a current 4-3 liberal-conservative population and a liberal justice retiring, April's election will decide whether the current balance maintains or tips to the conservatives.

Then, on John and Gordy In the Morning, the guys talk with Pam Jahnke about the premiere of Green and Gold, the new movie shot in Wisconsin about the Green Bay Packers. 

Next, on UpNorthNews Radio, Assembly Minority Leader Rep. Greta Neubauer (D-Racine) and new state Sen. Sarah Keyeski (D-Lodi) discuss the opening of the new session of the Wisconsin Legislature. They had big hopes for bipartisan progress, now that fairer maps have made the Assembly and Senate more representative of Wisconsin voters. But Republicans have spent the week rushing to pass a voter suppression measure and even stripping away Democratic seats on committees.

Wrapping up the hour on the Maggie Daun Show, Maggie talks about one of her New Year intentions, not resolutions, of playing more. Maggie shares some of her favorite board games and takes calls and texts for recommendations about what games she can work into her intention to play more in 2025.

Earl Ingram, 8-10am host on Civic Media, joins us as cohost for the day.

Dom and Earl continue to address the heart-wrenching news out of California as wildfires continue devastating the LA region. If you are searching for a way to help victims of these fires, start here. Callers weigh in on their views for what’s happening, why, and what’s to come. One thought repeats and weighs heavily as we reckon with this climate disaster: the incoming President has made it clear he will not support efforts to mediate further climate degradation. More fires will burn. And we know how little compassion to expect when they do.

Then, we move to a truly new story. For the first time ever, a convicted felon will be inaugurated to the presidency of these United States. This morning, Donald Trump faced felony sentencing in New York for his election interference crimes relating to hush money payments. Trump now bears the title of “convicted felon” according to New York law. The sentencing left everyone involved unhappy, so I guess, Godspeed America.

Earl Ingram, 8-10am host on Civic Media, joins us as cohost for the day.

Starting off, Dom and Earl cover the latest in Wisconsin political news. First, the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race in April. The April 1st election sets liberal Dane County Circuit judge Susan Crawford against former Wisconsin Attorney General and current Waukesha County Circuit judge Brad Schimel for a spot on the state’s highest court. Daniel Bice over at the Milwaukee Journal’s most recent piece on the election showcases Schimel’s most treasured aspects of his judgeship position. It’s… disappointing.

Dom and Earl then move on to discussing the terrible wildfires raging in California. The fires have taken at least 10 lives, consumed tens of thousands of acres, and destroyed thousands of homes. If you are searching for a way to help victims of these fires, start here. Also disappointing? Republican elected officials disparaging the victims of the California fires and their Democratic governor for… being woke? That’s what caused the fires???

The Morning Show spotlight on January 10 was put on the Special Education Department at the Richland School District.

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Civic Media’s Saturday show Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost. This hour, it’s all about the Supremes- that is, the Supreme Courts of Wisconsin and the nation.

First, Dom and Jim talk with Jack Kelly, statehouse reporter for Wisconsin Watch on the upcoming Wisconsin Supreme Court race. Read Jack’s most recent piece on the current and potential future status of the state’s highest court here. With a current 4-3 liberal-conservative population and a liberal justice retiring, April’s election will decide whether the current balance maintains or tips to the conservatives.

Then, Jim and Dom dive into updates on the legal tribulations of President-elect Donald Trump. The 45th and soon to be 47th POTUS seeks delays, dismissal, and denial of all wrongdoing on his part in each of the prosecutions against him. His lower court appeals now spent, Trump seeks dismissal from the Supreme Court of the United States.

Jim Santelle, former US Attorney and host of Civic Media’s Saturday show Amicus: A Law Review joins us as cohost. It seems everything that was old becomes new once more, it all comes around.

Today we honor the memory of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States. Our Jim, Mr. Santelle, recalls his experiences working in the Carter White House in the summer of 1980. Jimmy Carter leaves behind a legacy of peacemaker, dedicated civil servant, and unifier. From across the political spectrum, eulogies pour in honoring a man who- whether one agreed with his political perspectives or not- earned universal respect as a good man.

Jim and Dom then move on to imagining what may be said in eulogy for the remaining living former presidents- including the one set to return to the White House in 11 days.
