Mornings with Pat Kreitlow

The Wisconsin Badgers football team went through a pretty decent 30-year run starting with Barry Alvarez taking over in 1990, but the pendulum has swung the other way and we’ll ask our Madison radio friends John & Gordy what life is like in the shadow of Camp Randall when the football karma for the Badgers […]

Packers quarterback Jordan Love is a proven talent, but he’s also young enough to make bad choices that’ll break your heart — like throwing an interception when all you need to do is run out the clock, (Emphasis on “run.”) The Brewers lost too, but at least Craig Counsell’s Cubs were kind enough to also […]

Jill Underly, Wisconsin’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, didn’t sugarcoat the current environment in her annual “State of Education” address Thursday at the Capitol — saying that this year, “the biggest schoolyard bully in our public schools is our own federal government.” Since Underly was recently reelected to a second four-year term, expect her to only […]

We’ll talk to Sean O’Malley about your money and the markets.

We’ll discuss the latest disturbing attack on America’s freedoms as another corporate television network caves to pressure from a ruling party and removes its late night show host.
