We talk with a UW-Green Bay dietetics intern and Oneida Nation member about the past and present food traditions of her tribe, the health needs she sees in her community and the importance of being mindful of our health.
We look at Wisconsin through a different lens by learning more about the land we preside on. We talk with a PBS Wisconsin educator and Wisconsin's American Indian Studies Consultant about how to recognize the beauty, grief, injustices and resilience of our Tribal neighbors' communities.
Design is just as important to an indoor garden as it is to an outdoor garden. We talk about what you should consider when designing your indoor oasis.
Cooking traditional foods connects us to our roots. We talk to the author of a cookbook that celebrates her Sri Lankan heritage.
Our world is filled with strange, bizarre, and weird things. We talk to the editor of a new National Geographic Kids book about some of them, and find out what goes into making a book kids will love to read.
Those who work for the Department of Natural Resources often grow up hunting, fishing and trapping. We talk with two wildlife biologists about the DNR’s efforts to diversify its workforce and its users. We also learn how to make a career out of working in natural resources and the great outdoors.
This year more people are noticing the change of seasons and the effect it has on animals and plants. We talk about the observation of these changes, phenology, with an expert from the Aldo Leopold Foundation.
Pancreas Cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in the U.S., and one of the most lethal. We talk with former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson about the impact the disease has had on his family. We also learn about medical and research updates from a UW Health oncologist.
You don't have to be a philosopher to philosophize. We talk to the author of a new book who writes about the wisdom found in everyday people and places.
We take a look at what’s going on in Wisconsin sports with our WPR sports reporter. We talk with her about the latest news from the Packers, Golden Eagles and the Big Ten. We also look at why daily rapid testing isn't necessarily going to stop coronavirus outbreaks in sports.
High school sports look a lot different this year. We talk with a high school sports expert about what is expected from students and coaching staff and how it is affecting the game.
Wisconsin's historic downtowns and main streets with local businesses are trying to stay afloat, innovate, and meet consumers and Wisconsinites where they can to keep the culture and spirit alive during the pandemic. We talk with an expert about these struggles and successes of our state's downtowns.
It's sometimes the ordinary-seeming spaces and places that enrich our lives the most — the ones we drive by every day, visit weekly or annually — that hold memories. We talk with a historic preservation expert about the importance of celebrating these places of the past and present and acknowledging the role they play in Wisconsin's identity.
Lots of Wisconsinites spend hours rounding up fallen leaves. We look at options that are better for the environment, your garden and you. We also look at getting your landscape ready for winter.
