Who Had the Worst Day?

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/10

The post Super Bowl hangover is real! The big question on Maggie's mind today is who had the worst day -- Seal, Drake, or the Chiefs? Maggie also highlights her best, worst, and most "ew" Super Bowl commercials. And there's a reason why Kendrick Lamar is a Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winning artist and poet. As Maggie points out, his half-time show wasn't just about the music. Oh, and there was also a football game too... The Maggie Daun Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs

Who’s Watching the Watcher?

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/06

Tom Palzewicz is back as Maggie's co-host. This hour, Maggie and Tom discuss data collection...or as it currently stands, the lack of data collection. One of the things the US government has done really well has been the non-partisan collection of data and sharing it with the public. Now that data is being scrubbed, and as Maggie and Tom point out, this is what autocrats do. They pretend the information being collected isn't happening, and this may the most fundamental problem we have going forward

What Is Free Speech…Actually?

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/06

Tom Palzewicz, one of the most reasonable guys in politics, is back as Maggie's co-host today! Maggie and Tom dive into the first amendment. What are its limitations? When is censorship too much? The MAGA movement is suppressing basic information and using social media to pass along misinformation and blatant lies. It's about mind control. Maggie and Tom discuss where we are willing to draw the line, not just politically, but as humans. The Maggie Daun Show is a part of the Civic Media radio

This Is the GOP’s Plan

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/04

This hour, Maggie shares what Donald Trump's "parade of horribles" mean for all of us going forward. (And by the way, it's only been three weeks!) This is the GOP's plan for America on meth. Fortunately, Maggie says there are things we can do going forward. She suggests calling Congress to tell them you believe in civil service. The number is 202-224-3121. She also reminds us to register to vote and to use the power of our speech. Dane County Circuit Court Judge and Wisconsin Supreme Court

Where Things Stand

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/04

Maggie dives into the laundry list of Donald Trump's crazy presidential moves. From Federal Aviation Administration firings to withdrawing from the UN Health Council.

The whiplash is painful, but what does it all mean?Maggie gives her answer during hour two. Plus, Civic Media's Political Editor, Dan Shafer joins Maggie for another edition of the "State Slate."

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/02/03

Maggie welcome on Dr. Weadé James, Senior Director for K-12 Education Policy at the Center for American Progress, to chat all about the problems created by the school choice program - which is in reality an effort to privatize public education. Later, Maggie is joined by Dom Salvia, on at 4 with the Dom Salvia show, to dive back into the topic from last hour: Trump's tariffs, Elon Musk stealing the keys to the Treasury, and more shenanigans in the federal government.

Maggie is back after a couple days off at the end of last week! Over the weekend were the 67th Grammy awards, at which Beyoncé was awarded Best Album, being only the 4th Black woman to receive it. In addition to talking up the successes of Beyoncé, Maggie covers comments from several women in their acceptance speeches, including Shakira, Chappell Roan, and others. Later, she begins diving into the issue of tariffs, and Trump's blunt, heavy-handed, and uninformed use of the antiquated economic

Pro Democracy Radio

2025/01/30

In hour two, John and Gordy, filling in for Maggie today, talk JD Vance, and some of the insane billionaires who helped put him in power Curtis Yarvin and Peter Theil. With a few cuts from Rachel Maddow, we learn why these guys have spared a chunk of change to do away with democracy. We head to the phones for a bit to chat with CJ about "the rest of the story," and why he's rooting for Trump during this flurry of executive orders, throwing the country into chaos. Later, the guys welcome in

RFK Clown Show (Hour 2)

2025/01/29

Maggie continues to dig into RFK's unfitness and takes callers. He's motivated only by attention and power (and money). What a grift! Then Maggie is joined by James Beard-nominated most outstanding chef, Greg Leon, Executive Chef and owner of Amilinda in Milwaukee. They discuss connecting through food, as well as Tables Without Borders, celebrating immigrants and their native food, the first of four dinners coming up on February 17, 2025.

Funding Flip Flop (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/29

The Trump administration rescinds its garbage Office of Management & Budget memo from late Monday (after a federal judge late Tuesday halted its implementation pending a hearing this coming Monday), but the Press Secretary says that even though it's rescinded, it's still still in effect...what a clown show. Maggie discusses with Shawn Phetteplace of Main Street Alliance (shawn@mainstreetalliance.org). They also discuss Robin Vos single-handed blockade of expanded and cheaper insurance coverage

Why The Federal Funding Freeze Matters (Hour 2)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/28

In today's second hour, Maggie lights her hair on fire and dives back into the biggest news of the day: the Trump administration's federal funding freeze. She breaks down the language of the order. Unsurprisingly, it is written in an incredibly vague manner, demonstrating the ineptitude of the authors. They clearly do not understand the legal process surrounding government funding. Despite the sloppiness of this order, it can and will have far-reaching consequences across the state, the nation and

Rhetoric vs Reality with Harry Dunn (Hour 1)

Civic Media Spotlight ·

2025/01/28

Today, Maggie broadcasts live from the WMDX studios in Madison with former US Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn! He was there while a violent mob stormed the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. In the years since, he has been making sure everybody knows the truth of what happened on that day. Now that President Donald Trump has pardoned all of the criminals who beat police officers on J6, Harry Dunn's message is more important than ever. At the bottom of the hour, we kick off a new weekly segment:

Predetermined Positions (Hour 1)

2025/01/27

Maggie starts the show taking a look at the comments made last July by now candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Judge Brad Schimel. Thanks to reporting from the New York Times, we have audio from GOP Meet & Greet events in Adams and Calumet County in July 2024 where Brad Schimel shared comments that seemingly pre-judge any case that would come before Schimel if he were to be elected to the state's highest court.
