    In our second hour, Jane and Greg kick things off with Rebecca Meunick from The National Wildlife Federation to talk about PFA's, PFO's and what other states are doing to curtail them, states that are not Wisconsin. We then shift gears to a discussion about raccoons and their ability to cause chaos and misery and we should see them as an threat with tiny opposable thumbs. Finally we give kudos to Luke Bryan for being fun, funny and finally getting "some viral"!

Best Wisconsin Podcast ,

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.
