Mornings with Pat Kreitlow

If you’re not familiar with the issue of how lead paint is still poisoning children in Milwaukee schools, you can be forgiven for asking, “How is this still a thing?” Our guest from the Wisconsin Pub…

We’ll ask how we ended up with a government so hostile to even the concept of immigrants that its only plans are to ask people to make more babies and put off retirement. Sean Duffy is the latest in …

We’ll begin a weekly series of check-ins with Dan Shafer, Civic Media political editor and founder of the online news site The Recombobulation Area. He’ll tell us about the big political stories he e…

It’s kind of like the Today Show—expanding to three hours starting today. Can a 4th hour and our own streaming network be far behind?! Okay, that’s probably too much, but we can spend today’s first e…

Taxpayers in Green Bay will get better transparency on their property tax bills about school costs—specifically how much money is skimmed off the top of what’s supposed to go to public schools and is…
