A new documentary about Wisconsin's lighthouses premiers on Wisconsin Public Television on Dec. 2, and as you'd expect, Door County's lights feature prominently in the episode. The film's producer, Jeff Pfeifer, joins Myles Dannhausen Jr. to talk about why these structures have such a pull on our psyche and shares some of the stories he used to bring the historical subject to life.

It has been my great pleasure over the course of my farm broadcasting career to visit with Jerry Apps.  If you've had a chance to enjoy Jerry in a lecture, during his broadcasts on Wisconsin Public Television, or through his endless list of written works, you know why I'm a fan.  Jerry resonates Wisconsin - rural Wisconsin at that! I sat down for an extended conversation with my friend.  He admits that he's challenged with mobility these days, but the mind is as sharp as ever.  Apps latest release, "On Farms and Rural Communities: An Agricultural Ethic for the Future" he focuses his thoughts and attentions on recognizing the importance of rural farming communities and building a new agriculture policy for the future. You can see all of Jerry Apps works on his website as well.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Deanna's love for all things sewing began when she was a young girl when she was nurtured by her mom, her grandmothers, and 4H. She talks fondly of the many memories she has of growing up among sewists, including how, every Christmas Eve she and her three sisters would listen to the hum of the sewing machine from the other room, and awaken Christmas morning to find new robes hanging on their doors.  These priceless memories of creating and sharing gifts from the heart played an important role in her career choice. In 2007 Nancy Zieman and Deanna started Nancy Zieman Productions (NZP), where they worked side by side for 10 years.  After launching NZP, they launched a new blog, social media channels, and over 40 sewing and quilting products, including tools, patterns, and books. The NZP  team also produced 12 seasons of “Sewing with Nancy” with Wisconsin Public Television.Upon Nancy's passing in 2017, Deanna continued to carry her legacy forward through a variety of venues, including the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show, and the spring travel circuit. As Deanna puts it, “It's a way to share our love of sewing with the world.” Another way, she and her sisters share that love is the Stitch It! Sisters video series. Part of the Nancy Zieman production blog, Stitch it! Sisters also has its own YouTube channel. (7:30-12:55)Now in its 17th year, Deanna talks about how the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show began, and how it continues to be a great opportunity for people to share their love of quilting. She is also in charge of the Annual sewing event, Sew Quilt Create. Throughout our conversation, Deanna is passionate about celebrating her craft and her mentor. (18:55 – 22:47)As the conversation wraps up, Deanna talks about the many barriers Nancy broke through in the '70s and '80s, and how she really changed the industry. It's evident that Deanna shares many of her friend's traits as well as her drive and vision. (30:41-37:30)  Case in point: this fall, Deanna will be opening the Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio in Beaver Dam, WI. You can reach Deanna at stitchitsisters.com, nancyzieman.com or at her many social sites. And of course, you can stop by the new store when it opens.  

Stu Levitan welcomes the renowned broadcast journalist, educator and author Patty Loew, formerly of Madison, for a conversation about the second edition of her award-winning book Indian Nations of Wisconsin: Histories of Endurance and Renewal, from our very good friends at the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. Wisconsin has about 87,000 American Indians living on about 647,000 acres of reservation and in various urban and rural settings, about 1.5% of the state's population on about 1.5 percent of the state's land mass. But despite those small percentages, the 11 federally recognized nations and tribal communities – Menominee, Oneida, Ho-Chunk, Forest County Potawatomi, Stockbridge-Munsee, and the six bands of the Lake Superior Ojibwe, plus the unrecognized Brothertown Indian Nation – have played a huge role in our history, economy and culture. Telling that history is the business that occupies Patty Loew in Indian Nations of Wisconsin, a comprehensive and accessible account, heavily illustrated, with maps and tables showing the changes over time in the location and population of the Nations. It's a book she is extremely, perhaps uniquely qualified to tell. Because, as an enrolled Member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe with a Ph D, she has both studied this history, and lived it. Now, while you were watching Patty Loew the award-winning reporter/anchor on WKOW-TV from the mid-70s to the late-90s and producer/host on Wisconsin Public Television from 1991-2011, you probably didn't realize that Patty Loew the student was also working towards a masters and doctorate in mass communications from the UW-Madison, with a dissertation on “The Chippewa and Their Newspapers in the ‘UnProgressive Era.'” Upon getting that doctorate in 1998, she continued on TV for a few years, but also became Patty Loew the Professor, in the UW's Department of Life Sciences Communication, where she remained until 2017. That's when she became Professor Emerita and moved to the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, where she also directs the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research. As broadcast journalist and author, she has won numerous state, national and even international awards, and has received numerous honors, including the Outstanding Service Award, Great Lakes Inter-tribal Council. Her book Seventh Generation Earth Ethics: Native Voices of Wisconsin, also from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press, won the Midwest Book Award in 2014, while the first edition of Indian Nations of Wisconsin received the 2001 Outstanding Book Award, Wisconsin Library Association, so we know how good a third edition would be. She has also written an award-winning textbook for fourth-graders, Native People of Wisconsin, along with a teacher's guide co-written by our own Back to the Country co-host Bobbi Malone. It is a real pleasure to welcome to MBB, a friend to us all, Patty Loew.

On July 3, 2019, Dr. Perrodin presented School Safety in America: Rhetoric Vs. Reality on Wisconsin Public Television. During that presentation, he identified weaponized deepfakes as the biggest threat to student safety and that the incentive to use deepfakes to target students might be as simple as “The Liar's Dividend.” WHAT IS THE LIAR'S DIVIDEND? A classic example of the liar's dividend, which goes back to early reports that cigarettes were linked to cancer. In response, the tobacco industry relied on journalism's honorable tendency to report “both sides of the story,” and went on to suggest there were legitimate doubts about the validity of that scientific research. WHAT IS THE DIVIDEND? In the May 17, 2019 article “The Liar's Dividend is dangerous by journalists. Here's How to Fight it” by Kelly McBride, she states: “This is a bigger problem than the Oxygen Theory, which argues that by debunking a falsehood, journalists give the claim a longer life. The Liar's Dividend suggests that in addition to fueling the flames of falsehoods, the debunking efforts actually legitimize the debate over the veracity. This creates smoke and fans suspicions among at least some in the audience that there might well be something true about the claim. That's the “dividend” paid to the perpetrator of the lie. WHY IS THE LIAR'S DIVIDEND THE TOP THREAT TO SCHOOLS? The Liar's Dividend has always been around in the form of false accusations to dent the recipient's reputation or incorporated into social media bullying. When a student, for example, posts intentional misinformation about another student, he or she is also planting doubts. “I don't think Carol would say those things about her friends when she was at Terry's party, but maybe she did?” ANYONE CAN BE TARGETED. We have a new player in the game. Avatar realism has been around since 2011 and progressively becomes more lifelike. One of these popular avatars is Miquela Sousa. She doesn't exist. She's a CGI image with a team of engineers, marketers and dreamers posting to her various social media feeds. Avatars of this nature have proven to be largely the tool of marketers. However, they also have been hacked. The damage won't be delivered from avatars, but from the newest threat known as deepfakes. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AVATAR AND A DEEPFAKE? A deepfake will target a person by falsely representing them while an avatar is a computer generated fake person. So, a deepfake image is you – looks like you, talks like you, but probably doesn't convey an authentic message. Both present risks to student safety, but the deepfakes can tactically be used to target other students, teachers, school administrators or parents. ERODE TRUST. Students should learn to skeptical consumers of information, but deepfakes are going to pit student against student or student against teacher or everyone in education against the integrity of information. Did the teacher really say that, or was the video of his rant a deepfake generated with $250 software – and now the teacher in on leave as the school conducts an investigation. The Liar's Dividend paid to the accuser. As schools spend more than $3 billion per year in school fortifications, the reality is that nothing is being done to prepare for deepfakes and once they arrive, we won't be able to fortify ourselves to safety. What the solution? Nobody knows. However, the intelligence community predicts that deepfakes will infiltrate all levels of society by 2022 and most people won't be able to identify a deepfake from an authentic recording. FOLLOW DR.

To celebrate homecoming this weekend, Finlandia University welcomed one of its most highly regarded graduates to campus with Jordan Siegler (’09) visiting the set of Finlandia Fridays. Siegler is an alum of FinnU’s International School of Art & Design, has served as Finlandia Alumni Board President since 2016 and works in fundraising for Wisconsin Public Television. Siegler spent last weekend in town to take part in the Alumni Board’s annual fall meeting. At the meeting they discussed many things, including their role with the institution. “We are champions for the future of Finlandia,” he said. “We work with leadership here on campus, with Finlandia networks across the country to engage people, to build support for the university, and figure out what people need from the alumni board.” The role has been exciting for Siegler, and he wants to make sure people are aware that they are always looking for new people to get involved. If you, or someone you know, is interested in joining the Finlandia Alumin Board, please get in touch with Olivia Myers at olivia.myers@finlandia.edu or (906) 487-7499. While Siegler is excited about the alumni board, he’s more captivated when he thinks back to the experience he had at Finlandia University’s International School of Art & Design “What I took away from my education at Finlandia is a process of critical analysis, thinking and problem solving, which is at the core of design,” he said. “Those lessons can be applied across the board in your life and career. My experience here absolutely led to the success I’m seeing in my career and my life now.” The decision to come here was aided by being one of the early students to earn the Brule Scholarship, his first impressions of FinnU’s faculty and facilities, and his desire to study abroad. Before graduating he was able to make a trip to Finland. “I learned a lot, traveled a lot, and made relationships that I still have today with exchange students that were there and Finnish students that were there,” he said. “It changed my life.” See full show notes from this episode of Finlandia Fridays at https://www.finlandia.edu/news/jordan-siegler-finlandia-fridays/ and a full archive of Finlandia Fridays at finlandia.edu/fridays.

Dan Nauman has been forging since 1979 and has been forging professionally since 1993.  A turning point in his blacksmithing career was when he spent eight days learning from Francis Whitaker in Carbondale, CO, and three years later took Whitaker’s Master Class.  With that knowledge, he started his forging business in Kewaskum, Wisconsin.  At one point, he owned and operated three blacksmiths shops and up to 14 employees.  Dan has demonstrated/taught at numerous blacksmith conferences, schools, and colleges.  He has won two international awards for design and workmanship from the National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association (NOMMA.)  He served on the (ABANA) board of directors from 2000-2006 and is now the new editor of the Hammer’s Blow magazine.  What we talked about Dan’s interest in blacksmithing derived from a childhood of self-sufficiency at a family summer cabin in the backwoods of Wisconsin. He visited a blacksmith shop nearby and was excited to see the craft was still alive. He eventually signed up to take a workshop from the blacksmith shop he visited a couple of years earlier. The owners of the shop were impressed with how quickly Dan was learning to swing the hammer and asked if he would like to work at the shop in trade for knowledge.  Dan said yes! Soon he was signed up with many ABANA affiliates, the Illinois Valley Guild of Metalsmiths, Blacksmiths Association of Missouri, Indiana Blacksmithing Association, Alabama Forge Council and more, to learn what other’s around the country were doing within the blacksmithing world. His turning point in blacksmithing came when he spent eight days learning from Francis Whitaker, a modern master blacksmith who worked with Samuel Yellin and Julias Schramm. In 1993, Dan opened his first blacksmith shop and was able to survive with an income from this business. Two years later, in 1995, he noticed there was a blacksmith shop in Bailey’s Harbor, WI (the Cape Cod of WI) that he wanted to be involved with to sell his forged pieces. Then Dan was able also to lease the blacksmith shop where Dan took his first class; this would make three blacksmith shops that Dan was running at the same time! Filling his retail shop in Bailey’s Harbor with forged pieces and filling wholesale orders for The Pottery Barn and Kohler were the main source of income for 11 years. In 2003 both of those companies stopped ordering from Dan and went to China to fill their orders. Dan is now a “one man band” working out of his shop, Big Horn Forge. He teaches blacksmithing classes out of his shop, offering 11 workshops for up to 4 students at a time. Dan was offered a grant from the Francis Whitaker Educational Blacksmith Foundation to photograph the works of Cyril Colnik, the famed Austrian-born metals master. This led him to become the project director on a documentary film called "Forged Elegance." The video aired on Milwaukee and Wisconsin Public Television. Colnik worked as a smith in Milwaukee during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works can be seen around Milwaukee—most notably at the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum. In 2005, Dan won a National Ornamental and Miscellaneous Metals Association (NOMMA) “Top Job Award” for a chandelier made for the “Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion”, Milwaukee, WI. It was one of the hardest jobs Dan had ever completed. Another NOMMA Top Job Award Dan received was for a set of gates he worked on in conjunction with Finelli Ironworks. He made 100 compound rosettes and 64 sets of compound square rosettes (with each rosette taking 5 ½ hours to make) for the gates. Dan is now the new editor for the ABANA publication called the Hammer’s Blow magazine. Dan’s meaning of being a blacksmith and how the 9 forging fundamentals (drawing, upsetting, bending, twisting, joints, forge welding, punching, slitting) cannot be found in any other metal craft. He talks about his direction for the publication, including metalworking compliments such as repousse and chasing. Peter Ross, Tom Latane, Doug Wilson and Bob Walsh will be his “writer’s staff”.

Hometown of Legend) has thrilled Korean audiences with spooky tales of the supernatural.

Often drawn from ancient folklore, these tales of tortured ghosts and supernatural curses have a uniquely Korean flavor, as women, forced by Confucian culture into subservient roles, return from the dead to take revenge on the men who caused them misery.

Barry Kotler went to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he earned a BA in Radio, TV and Film. To earn a living in Madison, he worked for Wisconsin Public Television, producing segments for the riveting, nationally syndicated show, “Sewing with Nancy”. After mastering embroidery, Barry moved back to Chicago and worked for a short-lived international television syndication company, and then for himself, producing TV shows without buyers.
