Great podcast about Wisconsin

This podcast is so full of information that I love to listen twice to each one. The presentation is entertaining, the hosts are pleasantly enthusiastic, and the destinations are fantastic. If you want to plan a trip to Wisconsin, learn about Wisconsin, or fully enjoy your home state of Wisconsin, this is the podcast for you!

Transitions

I’ve had to change my review. I used to love this podcast but now the hosts have changed and all they talk about is Milwaukee and its surroundings. There is SO much more to Wisconsin than these big hitters you keep focusing on and repeating every episode. Disappointing never hearing any other options

Wisconsin Kid

Did you even grow up in Wisconsin in the 70’s or 80’s if you didn’t have a little Brandy with 7 up or 50/50 in a little glass with a stir stick during the holidays ???
