Text us about this show.In the Wisconsin music scene, Ben Mulwana is as unique as they come. His roots are in Uganda and you hear those roots in much of his music, however the soulful and heartfelt delivery of his songs will have most listeners captivated. To call Ben a singer-songwriter is almost too little. He's an expressive artist who draws on both the commonalities and differences in culture to create songs that listeners will probably agree they can identify with. Love, loss, and healing are common themes in Ben's lyrics and the spaces between the three are where a lot of his songs come from. You're invited to settle in and get to know this wonderful artist, Ben Mulwana."The Outside," "Embozi (acoustic)," and "Stupid Love" written and performed by Ben Mulwana℗ 2023 1552308 Records DK.

Dr. Ron Cronovich, Professor of Economics at Carthage College, talks about Tariffs: What are they? How do they work? Are they good or bad? (Is that the right question to ask?) What is the primary motivation behind President Trump's policy on tariffs? What does it mean to have a Trade Deficit with another nation? Is that good or bad? What are the intended and unintended consequences of the sort of Trade War in which the United States is currently engaged?

Dr. Art Cyr, a member of the faculty of Carthage College - and a monthly visitor to the Morning Show - joins us to share his perspective on a variety of topics and concerns. In this particular conversation, we discuss President Trump and his tariff proposals .... Senator Chuck Schumer and his decision to work with Republicans to pass the stopgap spending bill one month ago that averted a government shutdown .... the removal of South Korea's president from office .... and the Trump administration's lack of success in organizing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

From 2004 - Ellis Cose discusses his intriguing book "Bone to Pick: of Forgiveness, Reconciliation, Reparation and Revenge." This was part two of today's program.

(The interview that comprised part one- with director Neil Scharnick and two students involved in the production- was shared on the podcast this past Friday, the 21st of February, in case you want to seek it out and hear it.)

ACTA's Doug Sprei interviews Peter Skerry, professor of political science at Boston College, who has served as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. He has been featured in a variety of scholarly and national media publications, and is the author of Counting on the Census: Race, Group Identity, and the Evasion of Politics (published by Brookings), and Mexican Americans: The Ambivalent Minority (published by Free Press/Harvard University Press), which was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.  Sprei first encountered Skerry while chairing a debate on immigration at the Braver Angels Convention at Carthage College in June, 2024. During that highly charged event, as Skerry stood up to speak and address other speakers, it became apparent that he is deeply conversant with issues around immigration, a topic that has polarized and challenged society for decades. Skerry is currently advising Braver Angels on framing constructive community dialogue around immigration. In this episode, he shares insights into why it has become such a weaponized topic in today's politics, and why educators should encourage students to embrace uncomfortable conversations around controversial issues.

Joseph Tenuta, Assistant Professor of Marketing and Management at Carthage College, talks about his book "The Starting Bluprnt: What you can expect when you start your own business."

This is the latest installment in Carthage's renowned New Play Initiative. The play is performed the next two weekends in Wartburg Auditorium.

This interview from the archives was recorded and initially broadcast sometime in the mid 1990s. The guest, Augie Schmidt, recently announced his impending retirement as the head baseball coach at Carthage College (his alma mater) - where he has amassed more than 1000 victories over the past 37 seasons. The host, the late Bill Guy, was the creator and original host of The Morning Show.

We talk about the current production of Kenosha's Lakeside Players, "Puffs - or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic," a thinly veiled parody of a certain popular series of books and films about a certain bespectacled young wizard-in-training and his friends and adversaries. The production opened this past Friday and runs for the next two weekends. I speak with two members of thecast - Hannah Wade and Sam Simon - who are music theater majors at Carthage College.

Our guest is Ashley Hanson, Vice President for Enrollment at Carthage College. We talk with her about the challenging process of college recruitment- and how that process was made still more challenging this past year with what has been dubbed "the FAFSA Debacle," the disastrous roll-out of a simplified version of the federal financial form that was fraught with complications and delays - and which could have had catastrophic consequences. She'll tell us what Carthage did to try and ameliorate the effects of the problem.

As another school year gets underway, we hear from Dr. John Swallow, the president of Carthage College. We talk in particular about the near record-breaking number of new students on campus this fall- and what an accomplishment that was in the challenging environment of higher education in 2024- a challenge made even steeper by a disastrous problem involving FAFSA, a Federal program involved with financial aid. We also hear about several notable additions to the administration and staff - and renovation work going on.

Dr. Jerald Mast, Professor of Political Science at Carthage College, returns to the Morning Show on the eve of the Democratic National Convention to talk about all that has transpired since his last visit to the program: President Biden's decision to withdraw from his re-election bid, Vice President Harris's rise to become presumptive nominee of her party, her choice of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate - and how Republic nominee Donald Trump has responded to all of this.

Dr. Art Cyr, professor of political economy at Carthage College, pays his monthly visit to the program with a discussion that touches on President Biden's decision to withdraw from the current presidential race, the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump, and Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's fiery address to the U.S. Congress.

In an interview recorded this past Thursday, Dr. Jerald Mast - Professor of Political Science at Carthage College - offers his thoughts various facets of current presidential race: the Republican National Convention (which begins today in Milwaukee), the effects of Donald Trump's legal woes, the first Trump/Biden debate, and the increasing calls from some Democrats for President Biden to withdraw from the race.

Kristin J. Jacobson In her new book, The American Adrenaline Narrative (University of Georgia Press), Kristin Jacobson considers the nature of perilous outdoor adventure tales, their gendered biases, and how they simultaneously promote and hinder ecological sustainability. To explore these themes, Jacobson defines and compares adrenaline narratives by a range of American authors published after the first Earth Day in 1970, a time frame selected as a watershed moment for the contemporary American environmental movement. The forty-plus years since that day also mark the rise in the popularity and marketing of many things as "extreme," including sports, jobs, travel, beverages, gum, makeovers, laundry detergent, and even the environmental movement itself. Jacobson maps the American eco-imagination via adrenaline narratives, surveying a range of popular and lesser-known primary texts by American authors, including best-sellers such as Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air and Aron Ralston's Between a Rock and a Hard Place. She also covers lesser-known novels as well as stories found in all types of media ranging from magazines, feature-length and short films, television shows, amateur videos, social media posts, advertising, and blogs. Jacobson argues for recognizing adrenaline narratives as a distinctive genre because, unlike traditional nature, travel, and sports writing, adrenaline narratives sustain heightened risk or the element of the "extreme" within a natural setting. Additionally, these narratives provide important insight into the American environmental imagination's connection to masculinity and adventure––knowledge that helps us grasp the current climate crisis and see how narrative understanding provides a needed intervention. Kristin Jacobson is a professor of American literature, American Studies, and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Stockton University in New Jersey. She completed her Ph.D. at Penn State, her M.A. at the University of Colorado-Boulder, and her B.A. at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI.

Dr. Art Cyr joins us to talk about the 80th anniversary of D-Day, recent local elections in Britain (in which the conservative party suffered massive losses), U.S. Speaker Michael Johnson's decision to support U.S. aid to Ukraine, and JFK's narrow victory in the 1960 presidential primary in Wisconsin (the topic of Tuesday's Morning Show.) Dr. Cyr is a member of the faculty at Carthage College and a columnist whose work appears in newspapers across the country. He has been a monthly visitor to the Morning Show for more than twenty years.

We've discussed the silver tsunami on the show numerous times, the unprecedented rate of which employees are retiring. When engineers and other employees retire from companies, they take with them more than a set of gold cufflinks or an engraved plaque. In many cases, they also take with them wisdom and knowledge. Perhaps this is never truer than in the case of Mike Konrad's guest today. And who is that? Doug Pauls. Pauls holds a B.A. in chemistry and physics from Carthage College, and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked nine years for the Navy, eight years as technical director of Contamination Studies Labs, and more than 20 years at Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), in the Advanced Operations Engineering group where he is a technical fellow and, a principal materials and process engineer. He was awarded the Rockwell Collins Arthur A. Collins Engineer of the Year Award in 2004 as well as numerous other awards. Paul is a longtime (well over 30 years) IPC chairman and was awarded the IPC's Hall of Fame Award in 2017. Most notably, he is known for his expertise in surface insulation resistance testing, cleaning and cleanliness assessment, conformal coatings, and how to investigate and qualify manufacturing processes. He has been a U.S. representative to ISO and IEC working groups on SIR, electromigration, and cleanliness reliability standards. He has participated in numerous national and international consortia on electronics manufacturing materials and processes. He recently led a team of SMEs to redefine the cleanliness provisions of J-STD-001, culminating in what is presently J-STD-001H.

From the summer of 2021, Carthage College's Adam Koening talks about what went behind the creation of a brand new way to do Commencement .... necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impossibility of safely gathering for a conventional Commencement with thousands of people crowded together. Adam drew upon some of his professional experience before Carthage to conceive, design and execute a sort of individual procession for each graduate. Because this experience was so deeply enjoyed and appreciated, it has been retained even though a more conventional commencement gathering is now possible. (Carthage actually does both- a large gathering as well as the individual processional.) We're replaying this interview today to coincide with the first of two days of individual commencement processionals. at Carthage.

We've discussed the silver tsunami on the show numerous times, the unprecedented rate of which employees are retiring. When engineers and other employees retire from companies, they take with them more than a set of gold cufflinks or an engraved plaque. In many cases, they also take with them wisdom and knowledge.Perhaps this is never more true than in the case of my guest today. And who is that? My friend and colleague Doug Pauls.Doug Pauls holds a B.A. in chemistry and physics from Carthage College, Kenosha, Wisconsin, and a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He worked nine years for the Navy, eight years as technical director of Contamination Studies Labs, and more than 20 years at Rockwell Collins (now Collins Aerospace), in the Advanced Operations Engineering group where he is a technical fellow and, a principal materials and process engineer. Doug was awarded the Rockwell Collins Arthur A. Collins Engineer of the Year Award in 2004 as well as numerous other awards.Doug is a long-time (and when I say long time I mean well over 30 years) IPC chairman and was awarded the IPC's Hall of Fame Award in 2017. Most notably, he is known for his expertise in surface insulation resistance testing, cleaning and cleanliness assessment, conformal coatings, and how to investigate and qualify manufacturing processes. He has been a U.S. representative to ISO and IEC working groups on SIR, electromigration, and cleanliness reliability standards. He has participated in numerous national and international consortia on electronics manufacturing materials and processes. He recently led a team of SMEs to redefine the cleanliness provisions of J-STD-001, culminating in what is presently J-STD-001H.To take liberties with a famous Mark Twain quote “rumors of my retirement have been greatly exaggerated”.
