Podcast appearances and mentions of ron kind

UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, in studio discussing, if you had to pick only one Thanksgiving food, third-party presidential spoilers and how Americans are divided on politics and self checkouts. Began the show in holiday tradition, discussing all the best and worst things on the table during Thanksgiving — but like avoiding politics with family at the table, we avoided the divide on green bean casserole, as well. After that, got into Wisconsin politics a bit on Republicans passing another “tax cut,” while a divided government got a $500 million Brewers stadium done.  The bottom half of the show dealt with an ethics report on US House Rep. George Santos and why he's not kicked out of Congress yesterday, and how the parties should have a backbone to dismiss members that are breaking rules. Then we got into former US House Rep. Ron Kind's comments on the “No Labels Party” coming in as potential spoilers in the 2024 presidential election. But would their moderate candidate spoil it for Democrats or Republicans? Lastly, self checkouts, are you for them or against them? The country, there too, is divided.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode Aaron and Ashley talk with Representative Ron Kind of Wisconsin. Representative Kind discusses how he came to understand the weight of CWD and eventually become a champion for it in Washington D.C. We cover what the Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act is, it's current status, how it could impact states' ability to manage the disease, and the boost it would give to researchers' efforts to develop new science and tools like a live test for CWD! Links: Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus Show notes: 4:33 – Rep.

The Driftless region of Wisconsin is no stranger to flooding. Its spectacular valleys and ridges were formed by the flow of rushing water over millions of years. But in recent memory, the floods are getting more intense, and happening more often—a combination that is having a profound impact on local people and communities. In this episode, we'll hear stories from people who experienced the flooding firsthand, from farmers to firefighters. And we'll hear from people who think that these stories might just hold the key for creating a sustainable future in the Driftless—and beyond.In 2019, The Driftless Writing Center based in Viroqua submitted a grant application to Wisconsin Humanities describing "Stories from the Flood." The project was to record interviews with residents about their experiences of the catastrophic flood of 2018.

The project published a book that can be read online here.In this episode:Caroline Gottschalk Druschke is an associate professor in the Department of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she incorporates her research interests in watershed-based conservation into her teaching.
