The Lee Rayburn Show

WPR director, Mike Crane, joins us to talk about programming changes and specials, and our upcoming fall membership drive. We're also joined by our source librarian to learn about how our organization has begun tracking demographics of our on-air guests to better represent all kinds of diverse voices.

All of us require maintenance to keep our bodies and minds properly running — the same goes for your computer! We talk about basic things you can do to keep your computer running in tip-top shape, as well as learn about common reasons for why your computer may be running slower than usual.

Recent cool temperatures remind us that fall is on its way. We talk to two gardening experts about what you need to do to prepare your garden and yard. We also discuss bulbs and soil testing.

We are all staying home more, and not having enough space can add to already high stress levels. With many people considering a home addition, we get expert advice about what you should consider before you add on.

Many more people have been taking to our waterways in canoes and kayaks this year. We talk with a paddling expert about places to go and equipment that might help you get there.

Wisconsin is home to many wetlands, some of them have been designated as "Wetlands of International Importance". We talk about the latest wetland to join the list and those that have been added in the past.

Recently released data shows that more Americans are sick than are healthy, largely due to the rise in diet-related illnesses. We talk about what we need to do to make America healthy again.

One in four people aged 65 or older has a fall each year. We talk about how to determine if you are at risk and what you can do to reduce your chances of falling.

Prevention plays an important part in our health care and now it’s also becoming part of keeping our trees healthy. We talk to a tree pathologist about the value of a tree risk assessment. We also look at a number of tree diseases and their management.

A water feature can transform an ordinary garden into an extraordinary one. We talk about what to consider when adding a pond or other water feature to your landscape, what plants work well and what you need to do to maintain it.
