    Holy Week, Now Only $59.99! (Hour 1)

    Well who would've thunk it...the former president has tried his hand at planes, booze and steaks, now he's trying to conquer The Good Book. But we're not gonna shout "Amen" from the pews, because this looks more like a(nother) grift to pay his mounting legal bills. While Trump is telling it on the mountain, Ronna McDaniel seems to be falling down one. We then speak with Gunner Ramer, Political Director of Republicans Voters Against Trump and just how important it is to keep the former president from a second term.

Best Wisconsin Podcast

This show is unlike anything else I have found covering Wisconsin. Kristin covers such a wide range of topics, some very serious but some very silly. Every episode I learn something and laugh, sometimes even at the same time.

It’s a little weird as a podcast since it’s also a live radio show but you get used to it.
