Civic Media Spotlight (Hour 2)

Hello and welcome to the second hour of the Civic Media Spotlight! Brian Noonan and Jamie Martinson dig into the ongoing debate over the Electoral College and whether it still makes sense today. With Virginia moving toward a national popular vote and Wisconsin part of that conversation, they break down where the system came from—and why it’s getting more pushback now. They also get into the political divide around it, especially as Democrats continue to win the popular vote but come up short in the Electoral College. Later on, David Casey joins the show to take some of the stress out of tax season, with a focus on why filing electronically just makes things easier. And of course, there’s no shortage of political drama to cover, including new impeachment articles aimed at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. It’s a mix of politics, practical advice, and the kind of conversation that gets your morning going on Daybreak.

Civic Media Spotlight (Hour 1)

Hello and welcome to the first hour of the Civic Media Spotlight! Dive into the fluoride debate with Dr. Donald Chi, DDS, who talks through how the pandemic changed dental care, why some parents are hesitant about fluoride, and why the conversation around water fluoridation isn’t going away anytime soon. Instead of just throwing science at people, Dr. Chi makes the case for actually listening to those concerns. On the sports side, Mike Clemens joins the show with the latest on the Bucks’ coaching situation, what’s next for Giannis, and why the Brewers are having a tough go of it. Plus, there’s some buzz around the Packers’ Tailgate Tour and a look at how things are shifting in the Big Ten. It’s a mix of health, sports, and everything in between—exactly what you’d expect on Nite Lite.

Civic Media Spotlight (Hour 1)

Herman Pontzer, a professor at Duke University, joins Pete and Greg on Nite Lite to talk about his book Adaptable and how our bodies really use energy. He gets into the science of metabolism and clears up some of the biggest myths around exercise and weight loss. The conversation keeps going as Pontzer digs deeper into why a lot of what we think we know about fitness just isn’t true. Then over on Brian and Jamie, Jimmie Kaska breaks down the latest school referendum results from around Wisconsin. About 60 percent passed, which is good news for many districts, but there are still some tough situations ahead, including possible school consolidations. After that, Brian and Jamie switch things up and talk about seasonal treats—the kinds of foods you only have at certain times of the year—and share some of their personal favorites.

Civic Media Spotlight: Guitar Rifts (Hour 2)

Mark Becker and Green Bay Rep. Amaad Rivera-Wagner get into a pretty fired-up conversation about the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, talking about why keeping the court nonpartisan actually matters—and what happens when politics starts creeping in. Rivera-Wagner also opens up about the threats he faced around the 2020 election, and why staying grounded and focused on unity is more important than ever. Then Robert Pilot switches gears with Angie Vig from Vig Guitars. They highlight Native American excellence and get into the nitty-gritty of keeping guitars in shape through those brutal Minnesota weather swings. It’s a mix of real talk and rock talk—covering everything from civic responsibility to keeping your strings in tune.
