    Things We Wish Were True (Hour 2)

    Things We Wish Were True (Hour 2)

    In the second hour, whether it's Beyonce and Taylor teaming up or a guy who is suing Joe Biden, we want to know the thing you heard you wish were true, but isn't. Next we want to say "thank you" to Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany who is working to get The Apostle Islands recognized as a US National Park. While this is a big deal, it doesn't come without concerns. But for now, thank you Rep. Tiffany for doing the hard work. Then we talk with the entertainment writer for OnMilwaukee Matt Mueller and it's all about Deadpool, Wolverine and Twisters!

    Childless Cat Ladies Assemble! (Hour 1)

    Childless Cat Ladies Assemble! (Hour 1)

    It's Friday and you made it! We all did. We're diving back into the rhetoric from on JD Vance about "Childless Cat Ladies" and want to know; what's good enough for the kittie is good enough for the litter, because Democrats aren't the only one who aren't married and have no children. Then we give thanks for a do-nothing Congress and wish them well on their (now) five week vacation. Then Resident Young Person and producer Calvin gives Jane and Greg a lesson on what "Brat" is and we're not talking about grillin'!

    The French Love Us So Much (Hour 2)

    The second hour kicks off with Kelly Nelson from the Pewaukee Public Library to talk about all things books, reading and the best ways to read (which is all of them!). If you're interested in downloading The Libby app to get audio and e-books on your device, click here. Because it's Thursday, JR Radcliffe from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel joins the show to talk about the Olympics, the Brewers and why the French love it when we do their accent. We wrap of the show with a weather update from Civic Media's very own Brittney Merlot and also hear about what's going on at the EAA in Oshkosh!

    Will The Real JD Please Stand Up? (Hour 1)

    Will The Real JD Please Stand Up? (Hour 1)

    Things are starting off hot and fresh with Rep. Mark Pocan (WI 2nd Dist.) returning to the show to talk about a new chapter in this presidential election, as well as our thoughts on JD Vance and his ability to break records. We then switch gears with Dr. Kristin Lyerly to clear up the latest (but not new) claims being made by the former president about abortion. This isn't an easy topic to discuss, but if we are, it's best to have the facts.

    All The Best People (Hour 2)

    All The Best People (Hour 2)

    In the second hour, Donald Trump claims to be surrounded by all of the best people and we feel that with The Heritage Foundation and their Project 2025 backing him up, he'll have a whole crop of new "the best" to fill those jobs in the next year. People like Laura Loomer, John McEntee and Wisconsin's very own Paul "Kevin" Kovacik. You know...nothing but the best. Then it's time for another edition of Public Cervix Announcement with Dr. Laura Hanks and today we're talking about "Cord Blood Banks" and the pros, as well as the cons of utilizing such a place. To wrap up the show, we remember John Mayall. You might not have heard of him, but you've heard of Clapton and Fleetwood Mac, which is in thanks to Mr. Mayall who died at 90.

    Are You Fired Up, Wisconsin? (Hour 1)

    Are You Fired Up, Wisconsin? (Hour 1)

    Welcome to Wednesday! Vice President and presumptive nominee for US President Kamala Harris was in Wisconsin yesterday and as far as we can tell, things were energetic! From a passionate speech to Governor Tony Evers (almost) cussing, it's clear that the November election has a new dynamic. We then welcome Reid McCollum, the Program Outreach Director for the Progressive Turnout Project, to talk about ways you can get help in the election! Whether its sending postcards or knocking on doors, they can get you involved. Don't forget, if you are an American and you live overseas, make sure you have all the details you need to vote this November! To end the first hour, we give you an update on Gold Bar Bob and how accountability is real.

Best Wisconsin Podcast

This show is unlike anything else I have found covering Wisconsin. Kristin covers such a wide range of topics, some very serious but some very silly. Every episode I learn something and laugh, sometimes even at the same time.

It’s a little weird as a podcast since it’s also a live radio show but you get used to it.
