Chad Holmes is back from vacation and joins Ian Welsh. Today we talked about the double-edged sword that is the City of Wausau’s agreement with the Bridge Street Mission shelter. The need for shelter for the unhoused in our community but the issue of funding a group that discriminates. Plus, Chad discusses comments of Wisconsin native and poker legend Phil Hellmuth concerning taxes. Does a rich person’s life change when their taxes are lowered anywhere close to the change that happens when someone in the lower or middle class loses a social safety net program?

Today we talked with Good News Project Executive Director Christine Daniels about the success of their capital campaign and what it has meant in terms of what they have been able to do to “Be the Good.” Plus, we have our regular chat with Grand Theater Executive Director Sean Wright as the Grand begins to sell individual show tickets this coming Tuesday for the 2025-26 season plus talk about the advantages of becoming a subscriber to get the best seats for the shows you want to see.
