This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jimhightower.substack.comLast week, Hightower and I sat down for a couple beers with author Cory Haala, who's just released When Democrats Won the Heartland and who is a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. Cory has brilliantly documented how, as the national Democratic Party moved towards corporate cash in the 1980s, maverick politicians throughout the Midwest and Plains states practiced good ol' fashioned populism—and won. Not only did they win, but they also executed on the policies that they had championed while campaigning. Imagine that! With Hightower being part of the coalition of Texas populists who took the 1980s by storm, and who traveled to the northern states Cory covers to campaign, speechify and rally the grassroots, he's featured prominently throughout the book. My favorite Hightower highlight comes right in the introduction:Rather than give a handout, they believed the role of government was to give a hand up. Put more bluntly by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim Hightower: “If we'd have been liberals,” discussing struggling watermelon growers in Texas, “we'd have retrained them to do something else. As populists, we changed the market structure that was f***ing them over. That's the difference.”Paid subscribers can watch the whole video above, and also read an excerpt of Cory's book below.

It won't be long before Wisconsin roadways will have some large, heavy equipment heading to the fields. Safety has to be a paramount concern for the farmers operating it, and the drivers sharing the road. Kiley Allan gets a refresher course on what to remember from WI State Trooper. Warmer temps are coming to Wisconsin from Canada. Stu Muck says there's still a chance for rain in the forecast, and for people farther north - possible snow again. Farmers are preparing to head to the fields for spring planting. Once that seed is out of the bag and in the ground - they're committed. But what happens if their agribusiness partner, which was going to buy that product closes or goes bankrupt before the harvest? What's their recourse? Stephanie Hoff talks with Randy Fleishauer of Plover River Farms, Stevens Point. He currently sits on DATCP's Producer Security Council which is designed to deal with that dilemma, if it happens. Fleishauer says losing a specialty crop processor disrupts the essential rotation needed for potatoes; without a "place to go" with secondary crops, growers cannot maintain soil health or yield. Unlike row crops like corn or soybeans, canning crops are "timely" and cannot be stored on-farm. If a processor can’t take them, the crop is often disced back into the dirt or sold as cattle feed. And potato growers have limited on-farm storage. A shift in crop types forces local fertilizer and equipment suppliers to pivot their entire inventory, often driving up costs for the grower due to last-minute supply chain demands. Fleishauer site the Del Monte bankruptcy last summer as an example of when this council comes into play. The first crop progress report for 2026 was released on Monday. Pam Jahnke reports that moisture situations look adequate statewide. Only about 2% of oats have been seeded so far. Corn and soybeans have decoupled from the Iran War in the marketplace. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend says that's lessened the swings on prices. Triggers are still out there with crude oil until June, when there appears to be a "break". Heinberg also notes that live cattle prices continue to climb. Drier conditions in the west put critical grazing land in question for many cow/calf operators.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A brilliant physician risks his own life to force open the border between body and soul, determined to correct what he believes nature has failed to complete. When the experiment ends and only one flame returns, his assistant must decide whether to protect a dangerous legacy—or let it rise again in a new form. The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Victor Rousseau joins us on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for the first time today.Born in Belgium in 1879, Rousseau was educated in Europe before emigrating to the United States as a young man. He eventually settled in New York, where he moved from journalism and translation work into fiction. Like many early pulp writers, he didn't begin in science fiction alone. He wrote adventure stories, historical fiction, and romances, building a reputation for fast-paced storytelling long before the science fiction boom fully took shape.Rousseau became a regular presence in magazines, Adventure, Argosy, and later Weird Tales. Over the course of his career, Rousseau wrote dozens of novels and a large body of short fiction across multiple genres. In science fiction alone, he produced almost 100 short stories and several novels, most of them in the 1920s and 30s.The Ultimate Problem appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1911. We found it in the Stevens Point Journal of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on Friday, March 3, 1911, published under Victor Rousseau's H. M. Egbert byline.Sixteen years later it was published in the July 1927 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 77, The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He wanted to look beyond time and prove that history was still alive, waiting in hidden dimensions. What answered him from those angles was patient, hungry, and already on his scent.

"  Think of it as a wild Midwestern version of the MIT mystery hunt  for a slightly different crowd where people drink quite a bit more." For three whole days, over 10,000 trivia challengers descend on the tiny town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, for The World's Largest Trivia Contest. The contest runs on the local college radio station at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point for 54 hours straight, asking eight questions per hour. Teams have only the length of two radio songs to call in their answer. Yup, that's right. You call into the radio, old school style. It's a madcap frenzy of teams frantically searching through bins of catalogued items spanning from cereal boxes to DVD covers, or racking their brains to remember an obscure cartoon reference. For 43 years Jim “Oz” Oliva was ringmaster of this trivia circus. He wrote most of the questions and organized the contest. Jim revels in finding the most obscure bits of trivia to throw at his players. In response, teams have amassed entire rooms filled with snack packaging, atlases, and the booklets from CDs, among other items. With the advent of the internet, Jim had to change how he formatted the questions to stay ahead of searchable keywords. You can hear the glee in Jim's voice when he talks about all the techniques he devised to outmaneuver trivia players. He even had to hold onto all of the garbage from the question writing room otherwise players have been known to go through the trash, attempting to gain an edge over the competition. Jim is blunt, funny, and mischievous. I really enjoyed hearing all his stories from his many years of running this crazy trivia contest and learning about the wild culture surrounding it. In our Bonus Aftershow, REA contributers Heather Burns and Theresa Piazza join us to share their perspective on the trivia contest. Heather has been involved in the trivia contest for over 20 years, and Theresa joined Heather for the first time last year. It was wild to hear all about how they prepare for three crazy days of trivia with a revolving door of team members marshalling to rifle through bins of material and sleeping in shifts.

Ever wondered how your backyard rain gauge could help improve weather forecasts and even assist farmers? The National Weather Service is calling on Wisconsin residents to join the CoCoRaHS Network (Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network) through their Rain Gauge Rally. This volunteer network of dedicated weather watchers records rainfall, snowfall, and drought conditions right from their own backyards. Whether you're a farmer, teacher, or just fascinated by the weather, your observations can make a big impact. Michelle Margraf, Observation Program Leader with the National Weather Service, says Wisconsin volunteers are already playing a key role — and now there’s a friendly rivalry with Minnesota to recruit even more observers. Your reports could be the difference-maker! Currently, about 26,000 CoCoRaHS observers share data nationwide, including several hundred in Wisconsin. However, more volunteers are needed, particularly in rural areas. Central and northern Wisconsin, including regions between Stevens Point and Eau Claire, as well as north of Wausau, have a greater need for participants.

Get ready for a bone-chilling dive into Wisconsin's haunted history as Host Lyle Perez explores ten of the state's most ghost-ridden locations. With Halloween just around the corner, it's the perfect time to delve into Wisconsin's eerie past, from luxury hotels and mysterious mansions to desolate cemeteries and asylums. Wisconsin may be known for its natural beauty and charming towns, but hidden within its landscapes are tales of spirits and lingering souls. So, sit back, turn off the lights, and join us as we journey into the haunted heart of the Badger State. Featured Locations: The Pfister Hotel, Milwaukee 424 E Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53202 Known for its luxury and Victorian charm, the Pfister Hotel is haunted by its original owner, Charles Pfister. Guests report lights flickering, electronics turning on and off, and shadowy figures roaming the ninth floor. Major League Baseball players who stay here have encountered unexplained furniture rearrangements and disembodied footsteps. It seems Charles Pfister is as watchful over his hotel in the afterlife as he was in life. Summerwind Mansion, Land O' Lakes West Bay Lake, Land O' Lakes, WI 54540 Once an opulent estate, Summerwind Mansion is a haunting ruin where spirits are said to linger despite a fire that destroyed the building in 1988. Former residents reported ghostly figures, whispers, and even a skeleton discovered in the basement. A spectral woman is still seen in the upper windows, adding to the eerie atmosphere of this infamous haunted landmark. Old Baraboo Inn, Baraboo 135 Walnut St, Baraboo, WI 53913 Built in the 1860s, this historic tavern is home to “Charlie,” a ghostly bartender, and other spirits who make their presence known with phantom music, laughter, and ghostly touches. The second floor, once a brothel, is especially active with flickering lights and whispers in the night. Visitors can still stop by the inn for a drink—and possibly a ghostly encounter. Dartford Cemetery, Green Lake Park Dr, Green Lake, WI 54941 Known as one of Wisconsin's most haunted cemeteries, Dartford Cemetery is famous for apparitions, whispers, and chilling encounters near Chief Highknocker's grave. Visitors report seeing a spectral little boy playing among the tombstones and cold, ghostly hands gripping their shoulders, making this spot a must-visit for thrill-seekers. Sheboygan County Insane Asylum, Sheboygan 3400 County Rd EE, Sheboygan, WI 53083 The abandoned Sheboygan County Insane Asylum, closed in the 1970s, is a hub of paranormal activity. Ghost hunters report hearing screams, whispers, and spotting shadowy figures lurking in the windows. Though trespassing is prohibited, the asylum's sinister reputation lingers, attracting those brave enough to sneak a peek. Bloody Bride Bridge, Stevens Point Highway 66, Stevens Point, WI 54481 Legend has it that a bride who died tragically on this bridge still haunts it, appearing to drivers as a figure in a blood-stained wedding dress. Some drivers see her in their rearview mirror, sitting in the backseat. The bridge is notorious for paranormal sightings, making it a chilling drive for those daring enough to cross. Brumder Mansion, Milwaukee 3046 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53208 Built in 1910, Brumder Mansion is now a bed and breakfast filled with ghostly tales. Guests report the laughter of unseen children, phantom footsteps, and the figure of George Brumder himself wandering the halls. Stay overnight for a unique experience and perhaps leave with a ghost story of your own. Maribel Caves Hotel, Maribel County Rd R, Maribel, WI 54227 Locally called “Hotel Hell,” Maribel Caves Hotel has burned down multiple times and is rumored to contain a portal to the underworld. Ghostly figures, strange mists, and a faint smell of smoke greet visitors to the ruins, making it a notorious site for paranormal investigators. The Grand Opera House, Oshkosh 100 High Ave, Oshkosh, WI 54901 The Grand Opera House in Oshkosh, dating back to 1883, has seen numerous ghostly sightings, including a former stage manager who watches over performances. Staff and guests report phantom applause, Victorian apparitions, and cold drafts in the auditorium. It's a historic theater with a haunted twist, perfect for fans of the paranormal and the arts. Old Carver School, Carver Historic Schoolhouse, Carver, WI Abandoned for decades, the Old Carver School is said to be haunted by a former teacher. Visitors hear children's laughter, footsteps in empty halls, and the unnerving sense of being watched. This haunted schoolhouse is a reminder that some teachers stay dedicated long after the final bell has rung.
