Last week, I joined Bryan Polcyn at Fox 6 Milwaukee for the “Open Record” podcast, along with Bill Osmulski of the MacIver Institute, to talk about the 24 days that upended American politics, with Milwaukee and Wisconsin at the center of it all.
On Monday, I guest hosted “The Maggie Daun Show” and talked about the discombobulating last month in the political news cycle, and looked ahead to the Aug. 13 primary — with critical constitutional amendments, and more contested state legislative races in more than a decade. We also were joined by Nick Ramos of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign to talk about the beginning of early voting, and by the three Democratic candidates running in the primary for the new 14th District (Nathan Kieso, Brady Coulthard, Angelito Tenorio).
Listen here on Civic Media (Hour 1, Hour 2) and see embedded podcasts and video below.
As always on Tuesday, I joined Steve Scaffidi for the “Political Power Hour.”
Listen here on 620 WTMJ, or in podcasts and video embedded below.
As always on Thursday, I joined Patti Vasquez for “Driving it Home” on WCPT 820 and Heartland Signal. Listen here.
And the week always ends Friday with some recombobulating on “Matenaer On Air” with Jane Matenaer and Greg Bach on the Civic Media network.
