    Wisconsin Felony Case Against Fake Electors Creeps Forward

    · Alex Shur, VoteBeat. Photo credit: Nicholas Wootton/WORT-FMIn the political realm, the 2020 Presidential election seems like eons ago.  Many of the perpetrators and co-conspirators around Donald Trump’s unsuccessful attempt to overturn the 2020 election have since received Presidential pardons, or seen the cases against them dismissed in court.  The State of Wisconsin’s felony case against three who plotted to submit fake electoral votes to Congress, however, continues to creep – ever so slowly – forward.  Votebeat Wisconsin’s Alexander Shur has the story, and he joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on June 29, 2026.

    Field to Frock Festival Returns for 2026

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Field to Frock Festival Returns for 2026 Jessica Becker (left) and Leslie Schroeder (right) outside the WORT studios. (Photo by Jessica Becker) When the Strait of Hormuz shut down during the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, global textile prices skyrocketed, illustrating once again how dependent our economies are on global trade.  An alternative to such global dependence may be to “think local” and work to substitute locally-produced products for those shipped from across the world.  That’s exactly the idea behind the Midwest Linen Revival, and the 2026 edition of the Field to Frock Festival, taking place June 23 to June 28 in and around Madison.  Leslie Schroeder, founder of Midwest Linen Revival and Jessica Becker, Director of Communications, Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on June 22, 2026.

    Bloodsuckers: Ecology and Public Health of Ticks

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Bloodsuckers: Ecology and Public Health of Ticks Johnny Uelmen (Photo courtesy University of Wisconsin) Eight-legged, bloodsucking vampires swarm over your gardens, forests and fields, biting onto your neck to reproduce, bringing disease and in some cases, death.  That’s not the tagline for a new horror flick – that’s a description of the lifestyle of the arachnid order Ixodida, better known as ticks.  As spring and summer in Wisconsin get warmer and wetter, ticks have adapted by emerging earlier and staying later, resulting in booming populations and increases in tick-borne diseases such as Lyme’s Disease and anaplasmosis.  So, what makes ticks tick?  And what do those trends mean for human health?  Johnny Uelmen heads up the Disease Ecology Lab at the Department of Population Health Sciences of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

    The Data on Remote Work: Productive but Lonely

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · The Data on Remote Work: Productive but Lonely Emma Harrington (Photo courtesy University of Virginia) The global COVID-19 pandemic wrought a variety of social and economic changes.  Some, like social distancing, were temporary.  Other changes remained in place long after the most acute crisis subsided.  According to U.S. Census data, prior to the pandemic, people who worked from home accounted for about 3% of the working population.  After peaking at 20% during the height of the omicron COVID outbreak, that percentage has stabilized at about 17% of employees – some 27 million people work partially or entirely from home.  The issue has become a point of contention in labor relations, with many managers seeking to institute “back-to-the-office” policies, with resistance from labor organizations and individual employees.  Much has been made of the productivity of at-home workers, but less attention has been paid to the isolation of workers working from home.  Emma Harrington is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia.  Her new book “In Person: How Working Together Fuels Creativity, Productivity, and Growth” will come out in October from Crown Currency Press.  Emma Harrington joined the Monday Buzz– remotely – by phone, on June 22, 2026.

    Purchase With Purpose Offers Tips for Avoiding Big Tech

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Purchase With Purpose Offers Tips for Avoiding Big Tech Kyle Bradley (photo courtesy LinkedIn) Media activist, professor and author Bob McChesney used to say that if you’re getting something for free on the internet, then you’re the product.  Data harvesting cookies, bots, apps, devices, AI chatbots  – even kitchen appliances – spy on you 24 hours a day, reporting their findings back to the corporations such as Google, Apple, Meta and X.  These little bits of spyware are so pervasive that even the most vigilant privacy advocates have trouble avoiding them altogether.  Kyle Bradley has spent his career writing about data-driven tech and artificial intelligence, and is the director of Purchase With Purpose.  He joined the Monday 8 O’Clock Buzz on June 15, 2026.
