From the Ring to Roads…

Gray Gunderson is back for "Your Neck of the Woods," and he brings Rich LoCascio from Civic Media's WRJN with him today. As it turns out, you can also catch Rich in a wrestling ring. You won't see him down on the mat, but you will hear his voice...as a professional ring announcer. Rich explains what the wrestling term "kayfabe" means. To save you a Google search: It's a form of story-telling where there's an agreement between professional wrestlers and their fans pretend that staged wrestling

It's Friday, which means it's time for "Ask Maggie!" Maggie will answer any question you have in either 30 or 60 seconds. If you have a question for Maggie, email us askmaggie@civicmedia.us. Today, we covered Trump, states rights, and dryer sheets(?)! Teri Barr also joins us for more pillow talk. Monday is National Napping Day.

Sleep On It

2025/03/07

Political Scientist Professor from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Yoshiko Herrera joins Maggie to discuss Donald Trump's Ukraine/Russia foreign policy. It's been quite a ride in! The lack of pressure on Russia doesn't stop Russia. It leads to more fighting. The prospect of war in the US is remote. The prospect of war in Europe, however, is not remote. Plus, Dr. Deepa Burman, Pediatric Sleep Medicine Specialist from the University of Pittsburgh, joins Maggie to help us adjust to the time

President Whiplash

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/03/06

Tom Palzewicz is Maggie's guest co-host today. President Trump continues to issue...unissue...then reissue executive orders. Rinse and repeat. It's exhausting, but as Maggie and Tom point out, Donald Trump is the president for all people. He needs to answer to the middle class, not just the billionaire class. When it comes to the federal government, the amount the US spends on the people is less than 10 percent of the budget. Under this current administration, people are being interfered with in

Numbers Don’t Lie

2025/03/06

It's almost the weekend! Tom Palzewicz, the most reasonable guy in politics, joins Maggie as her guest host. They dig right in with Prof. Charles Franklin from Marquette University. He's got a new poll, and it turns out, voters really haven't learned as much as they need to know going into the spring election. Only four weeks to go...It's coming up on April 1. Check your voter registration and/or voting precinct by visiting https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/. And overall, Wisconsin independents aren't

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Sen. Dianne Hesselbein (27th Senate District) joins Maggie for "Broad Appeal." Sen. Hesselbein discusses how she got her start in politics 20 years ago. It all started with a school board run. She also says the new Democratic faces in the state assembly and senate (thanks to the new maps) are forcing more "across the aisle" conversations. And Sen. Hesselbein discusses how the federal tax cuts are affecting Wisconsinites. These are real issues affecting real people. She implores anyone experiencing

Who Watches the Watchers?

2025/03/05

It's another visit from Gray Gunderson with "Your Neck of the Woods." Even the Northwoods is not immune to the federal DOGE cuts as Maggie and Gray discuss. Plus, the chicken nugget rivalry between Spooner and Hayward is real! Jeramy Jannene from Urban Milwaukee also joins Maggie for "Milwaukee in A Microcosm." Jeramy discusses the closure of a Milwaukee school due to ongoing problems with lead poisoning that reached a new level. You can read more here:

Operating in Bad Faith

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/03/04

Jeff Mandell from Law Forward joins Maggie to start this hour. The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is quickly approaching (less than a month away!). This election is a referendum on whether we want our government to work for all us or only for a few. For over 100 years, Wisconsin Open Meetings law has required government business to be conducted in public. As Jeff explains though, Brad Schimel doesn't believe in that kind of transparency.

The Numbers Don’t Add Up

Dan Shafer is back with another edition of "State Slate." So much on the federal side. So much on the state side. Maggie and Dan remind us that we are less than one month away from the spring election, and Brad Schimel still won't tell Wisconsin voters what his opinion is. Meghan Roh, Program Director at Opportunity Wisconsin, also joins Maggie this hour to discuss the budget resolution that green-lights serious cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs. These cuts pay for tax breaks for

Here’s Where We Are

Greta Bedekovics from the Center of American Progress joins Maggie to discuss the SAVE Act. Are you a married women? Turns out, you're going to have a harder time voting. The SAVE Act isn't really saving anything but women from voting. If this law were enacted tomorrow, in Wisconsin, it would lock out 1.3 million women from voting in the April 1 election.

Might Equals Right

Maggie begins this Monday by speaking to Associate Prof. Lowell Barrington from Marquette University. Friday's Oval office meeting between Trump and Zelensky has unified Europe. It's no longer about getting a seat at the table. It's about building a whole new table. Donald Trump is shifting democracy but to what end? Maggie also discusses the budget cuts. Republican lawmakers are saying one thing, but Maggie gives us with a little math lesson. Trust the numbers...Here is a letter that you can use

Spitting In the Face of Democracy

2025/02/28

It is a dark day in this country. It is a dark day for democracy. For 85 years, we have fought against the same things Vladimir Putin stands for. Call your Wisconsin representatives. Tell them how angry and embarrassed you are after witnessing what happened between Trump and Zelensky today in the Oval office. Here are the Washington and Wisconsin numbers for your local representatives. Rep. Bryan Steil: (202) 225-3031 or (608) 752-4050 Rep. Derrick Van Orden: (202) 225-5506 or (715) 831-9214 Rep

A Day That Will Live In Infamy

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/28

Shameful. Disgusting. Abandonment of our principles. Today is a dark day. One that will be marked in the history books and talked about in classrooms. We witnessed Donald Trump and JD Vance surrender to Vladimir Putin in the White House. As Maggie points out, he is not someone we should be doing business with. Ukraine is our ally. Trump and Vance's simpering loyalty is embarrassing, but more importantly, it's dangerous. The Maggie Daun Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs

Jeramey Jannene from Urban Milwaukee joins Maggie and Tom this hour for our new segment, "Milwaukee in a Microcosm." They begin by discussing Tearman Spencer. Read up: https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/02/26/former-city-attorney-pleads-not-guilty-case-bound-over-for-trial/. It's worth your time. Turns out local politics has it's issues...and looks a lot like what's happening on the federal level.

The World We Live In

2025/02/27

Tom Palzewicz, the most reasonable guy in politics, is here once again as Maggie's co-host. Maggie and Tom begin today by talking about the measles outbreak in Texas. Maggie went to the CDC website to get official information but realized that is no longer a reliable source. This is the world we live in now...Tom and Maggie also wonder how, in this current world, we get people to understand and really listen. Common sense seems to be something that is missing.

It’s the Little Things

2025/02/26

It's another edition of "Broad Appeal." Today, Yari Aquino from Emily's List joins Maggie to discuss the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. We're five weeks away from the spring election, and Brad Schimel has money pouring in from Elon Musk's PAC. Yari points out North Carolina as the playbook for how the GOP is going to try to benefit their agenda and potentially overturn an election. To make sure you are ready to vote on April 1, check out https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/. Maggie also tells us how to get
