Happy weekend, recombobulators!
Glad you’re here for our weekly roundup. Quick reminder before we get to it: We launched last week — it’s a great way to stay up to speed on all things Wisconsin and connect to everything happening across the Civic Media extended universe with links, podcasts, livestreams, reels and more — and you should subscribe here.
Also, I wrote a new column this week on what I think is going to be the most significant Republican announcement for governor, with Congressman Tom Tiffany getting into the mix. Read that one here.
On to the roundup…
As I do every Friday at 10 a.m., I joined “Matenaer On Air” to talk about the news of the week with Jane Matenaer and Greg Bach. Listen or stream below.
On Thursday at 6 p.m., I joined “Driving it Home” with Patti Vasquez on Heartland Signal / WCPT 820 in Chicago for our regular catch-up on all things Wisconsin. Listen here (at about the midway point):
On Thursday at 2:30 p.m., I joined “The Todd Allbaugh Show” to talk about Tom Tiffany running for governor. Listen or stream below (midway point in the podcast, at about the 26:00 mark).
Every Tuesday at 8:30 a.m., I join “Mornings with Pat Kreitlow” and you can find that one here (midway point of the podcast, 2:35:00 in the video).
