In hour two, John gets a call from his old broadcast partner, Vicki McKenna, after we hear their interview on CNN from 20 years ago. We hear from Illinois Governor Pritzker, on why kindness wins, and later, the guys welcome Hernán Ballard to the show to talk about the newest cooperative in town, the Madison Library of Thing. Closing out, they cover SNAP, cuts to the program proposed in the new Farm Bill, and the right wing attack on rural communities.
