From 2020 - An interview with three highly regarded high school choir directors in southeastern Wisconsin ... Elizabeth Steege from Case H.S. in Racine, Polly Amborn from Tremper H.S. in Kenosha, and Derek Machan from Waterford H.S. ...... talking about how each of them confronted the considerable challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic within the protocols and practices of their respective school districts. I am re-sharing this interesting interview because two of these three choral directors - Elizabeth Steege and Polly Amborn - are retiring.

Two interviews about dogs. Part 1- Jennifer Holland, author of "Dog Smart: Life-Changing Lessons in Canine Intelligence." Part 2- from 2004, the author of "How Dogs Think."

We catch up with Barbara Brattin, who has been the director of the Kenosha Public Library for the past ten years. She is retiring on August 2nd. We talk about the ways in which libraries have changed over recent years - specific innovations that have come about at the KPL over the past decade - and the challenges that public libraries face. We also talk about the new children's library in Kenosha- which has its grand opening on July 13th.

We get an update about the Kenosha Community Foundation from executive director Amy Greil - with a special focus on the partnership between the KCF and ANVK, which is the philanthropic arm of the Kenosha Visiting Nurses Association. Joining Amy in the conversation is Linda Scott, CEO of ANVK, and Alex Berce, a border member of ANVK. (Berce oversees the operations of Good Value Pharmacy, a locally-owned pharmacy which has several locations in the Kenosha and Racine areas.)

We speak with best-selling author Greg Iles about his latest novel, "Southern Man." The book, set in the present day, presents a premise in which a tragic police shooting leads to a wave of violence across the country- which is exploited by an ambitious politician. The novelist draws extensively upon his own personal background in writing the book and in shaping the persona of the main character.
