What happens when the people we count on to save lives… stop volunteering? How can associations support vital, yet undervalued, professions in today's economy?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Alan DeYoung, Executive Director and CEO of the Wisconsin EMS Association (WEMSA). Alan discusses:The persistent challenge that EMS in Wisconsin is not legally mandated, leading to gaps in emergency care access across the state.A new state reimbursement program that will make EMS education free for Wisconsinites, removing financial barriers for individuals and employers alike.How WEMSA advocates for EMS through legislative efforts, including Alan becoming a registered lobbyist to deepen his influence and connections.The role of community-led initiatives, such as HOAs training members as first responders in rural areas.Why Alan believes being an outsider to the EMS profession strengthens his unbiased leadership and operational support role.How WEMSA uses tech stack reviews and system automation to maximize the impact of their small team.The importance of in-person member visits for member engagement, advocacy, member retention, and program development.A creative, non-dues revenue initiative to help EMS departments cover more of their costs by recovering patient insurance information that is often not collected in the rush of an EMS call.Why associations that implement education or industry-specific programs are more likely to thrive long-term.References:WEMSA Website2022 Associations Thrive interview with Alan DeYoung

Brandon Woodruff returned to a big-league mound for the first time in more than 1.5 seasons, and the early returns were excellent. His winning showing against Miami capped a 3-3 road trip as Milwaukee heads into the final week before the all-star break. Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss that outing, the first shaky performance from Jacob Misiorowski (and levels of concern), all-star Freddy Peralta, what's next for Chad Patrick and the injury to Rhys Hoskins bringing about the dawn of the Andrew Vaughn era. In Three Up Three Down (42:30), they discuss a chilly reaction between a pitcher and infielder, the team's trouble stealing bases, and the continued struggles of William Contreras. In Remembrew When (1:04:15), JR revisits an iconic Woodruff moment. Curt Blanche takes aim at a holiday staple (1:09:45). Then, JR catches up with infield coach Matt Erickson (1:14:45), one of the few Wisconsinites on the Brewers' Major League staff. He talks about his unique big-league career and his time as long-tenured Timber Rattlers manager in his Appleton hometown. Music intro from bensound.com.

The state budget lawmakers passed last week came after bipartisan negotiations. Experts say Wisconsin's new voting maps were part of the reason. A man from central Wisconsin has broken a speed record for kayaking. And, Wisconsin meteorologists say federal funding cuts could make storm predictions less accurate.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court dropped a historic decision right before Independence Day. The court in a 4-3 split struck down the 1849 abortion ban. They also dismissed Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's lawsuit challenging the ban's constitutionality. Host Bianca Martin chats with a local legal expert and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin strategic consultant Nicole Safar to better understand the court's ruling and potential impacts. Listen to this interview with Planned Parenthood Wisconsin CEO Tanya Atkinson and Madison South Health Center manager Tenisha Garner for more on the future of the organization.

July is National Ice Cream Month, and while we enjoy those frosty treats, let's remember the hard working dairy farm families that help make it possible. One of which is Kristen Metcalf, District 25 Director that sits on the board of Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. She represents producers in Green, Rock and Walworth county and operates a dairy herself. Metcalf says that although Wisconsin may be known for its cheese, ice cream is another incredibly popular dairy product that consumers and retailers look to the state for. "Thanks to the incredible milk from nearly 5,500 dairy farms across Wisconsin, more than 46 million gallons of ice cream are produced in Wisconsin annually. There are over 108 million buyers of Ice Cream and sherbet across the U.S., with an 83% household penetration. An average buyer (consumer) purchases 45 pints each year!" That turns into major milk volume for the state's dairy producers too! Metcalf notes that it takes about 2–3 gallons of milk to make just one gallon of ice cream. She says just ONE Wisconsin dairy cows can actually produce enough milk in a single day to make three gallons of ice cream. Wisconsinites each enjoy an average of 17 pounds of ice cream a year! Metcalf says that Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin is happy to be partnering again with the Alice in Dairyland program to amplify all things dairy. In her role, Alice in Dairyland hosts a statewide spotlight on ice cream, appearing in radio, TV, and digital segments across Wisconsin. On average, Alice helps us earn over $18,000 worth of media coverage and reaches close to 800,000 consumers through at least 20 scheduled interviews. That’s huge visibility for our farmers and our state’s dairy industry. Wanna find out more about National Ice Cream month and Wisconsin's dairy industry?

Dave Daniels, part-owner of Mighty Grand Dairy in Kenosha County, tells Ben Jarboe about how broadband infrastructure and high-speed internet have allowed him to further the operation with new technology. Soggy or dry? Breezy or muggy? We'll get it all this weekend, according to Stu Muck during the Compeer Financial Ag Weather Forecast. The latest Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation Marketbasket Survey shows Wisconsinites may be spending a bit more this year for their Fourth of July barbecues. Ben Jarboe catches up with WFBF's Cassie Sonnentag. She says protein, such as ground beef and eggs, is driving the price. Heidi Knuth was born into the hobby of collecting John Deere equipment. She takes pride in pursuing a passion her parents instilled in her. Kiley Allan reports. Today, we head to Monroe, where Brian and Heidi Kent run Heidi’s Happy Acres. Brian says the cool weather to start the growing season wasn't ideal for sweet corn -- the soil wasn't warm enough, and the corn came up slowly and unevenly. He had to do some replanting. Now, the corn is looking healthier after the heat wave that came through. He grows white and purple varieties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau's market basket survey has come out showing that Wisconsinites may be spending a bit more this year for their 4th of July Barbecues. Ben Jarboe catches up with Cassie Sonnentag, the Senior Director of Public Relations with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau, to share the details on why this holiday may be costing a bit more than in the past. She says that one of the biggest causes is the increase in the prices of protein which includes ground beef and eggs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we dig into the federal and state budget battles, and the question of a 3rd term for Governor Tony Evers, with special guests Dan Shafer of the Recombobulation Area and Civic Media, and Steven Webb from Planned Parenthood. We open with a discussion of the critical importance of Juneteenth this year, as DEI is under attack by the Trump Administration, and some cities and businesses pull back from supporting local celebrations. Robert provides a simple explanation of how the new U.S. Senate budget bill is even worse on Medicaid than the House budget bill, and it particularly damages rural hospitals. We update listeners on the latest State Budget news, including Speaker Vos' continuing crusade to force Governor Evers' hand with slashing cuts to UW System funding. The plot thickens because Senate Republicans can't pass a budget without UW cuts or they will lose the most right-wing members of their caucus, Senators Kapanga & Nass. In addition, to serious tactical disagreements with the governor on how to win his state budget priorities the public supports by huge margins, like properly funding public schools, expanding BadgerCare, funding child care and closing Green Bay, their is now a serious discussion about whether it is time for Governor Evers to lead by a timely passing of the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders and not running for Governor in 2026. We welcome award winning Milwaukee area journalist, Dan Shafer, founder of The Recombobulation Area and now part of the Civic Media network, who makes the case that it's time to pass the Torch and Tony Evers should not run for a third term as governor. He argues Wisconsin's governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right. We close the show with Citizen Action board member, Steven Webb, who is the executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, to discuss the devastating cuts to healthcare in the federal Budget bills that will damage Planned Parenthood's ability to provide vital frontline healthcare to Wisconsinites. Steve tells us how you can also get involved in organizing with PPAWI to fight back.

The deadline to get a REAL ID is this week, but more than a million Wisconsinites don't have it yet. The Trump administration's tariffs are expected to make solar energy systems more expensive. And, the saga of the Milwaukee boat continues. We'll have the latest on the efforts to remove it.

Plus, cooler than expected encounters with "Steve Harrington" aka Joe Keery, Rob Thomas and the ViCON ROBERT SMITH (downing Goldschlager shots!). We play WTF and learn that Wisconsinites are crafter than we thought. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

if you look around at houses, schools, churches--you're probably seeing more and more solar panels on their rooftops. A lot of that is thanks to federal incentives through the Inflation Reduction Act that make solar more affordable. But those programs are now at risk of being cut, and tariffs could be pushing the low solar costs we've been seeing much higher. Fortunately, solar has a pretty determined advocate who's spreading the word about how solar works for Wisconsin.

Writer McKenna Scherer is a proud Wisconsinite. Sure, that love is tied to cheese and Spotted Cow. But at the root of that love is her family. Scherer shared a story, “The Largest Gathering of Norwegians in Northwestern Wisconsin, Probably: Gierefest,” at a live storytelling event hosted by Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Wisconsin Life” and the Chippewa Valley Writers Guild.

Wednesday was ‘Liberation Day' in Trump's America. For everyone else, it was a day of sheer economic panic, as President Donald Trump unveiled heavy 'reciprocal' tariffs on dozens of countries, on top of a 10 percent blanket tariff on all imports. Trump billed it all as a fool-proof strategy to bring back American jobs that have moved overseas, and said specifically the levies would be a boon for unionized workers at domestic car companies. But Trump is no friend to unionized labor. He's spent the days since his inauguration slashing thousands of unionized government jobs. Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, talks about how unions are fighting back.And in headlines: Wisconsinites gave Elon Musk the middle finger by sending a liberal judge to their state Supreme Court, a federal judge dismissed corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and Amazon makes an eleventh-hour bid to buy TikTok.Show Notes:Learn more about the American Federation of Government Employees – www.afge.org/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Rich Dickman Show Episode 295 - One Punch Mantis! Get ready for another dose of unhinged hilarity with Rem, Cody, Ray, and Randy on The Rich Dickman Show Episode 295! This week's episode kicks off with some truly bizarre opening banter, including discussions about Randy's weight loss and bowel movements, the definition of "chickencock" bourbon and the alpha dynamics of various species (including the mighty mantis shrimp!), questionable sheep anatomy, and Ray's utterly chaotic trip to the vet with his dog Charlie. Plus, hear about sleep apnea devices, tornado scares, and the ethics of being a single parent after a hypothetical tragedy. This week, the guys dive deep into your problems with Thinking with your Dickman: Should a conflicted Wisconsinite choose the Green Bay Packers opening day game or the famous Cheese Curd Festival? What to do when your unwavering love for repeating Leonard Skynyrd's "Simple Man" drives everyone else insane? A listener with an out-of-this-world gambling problem seeks new and increasingly absurd things to bet on. Cody then delivers a crucial message in Cody Reads Copy about the secure messaging app Signal. The much-anticipated Dick of the Week segment features a rogues' gallery of questionable behavior: A Hawaii road rage incident that got physical. A terrifying incident in the UK where 50-60 youths, possibly armed with knives, disrupted a birthday party. A shocking hospital altercation in Malta where a nurse was stabbed. And the personal tragedy of a thwarted milkshake craving at The United Dairy Farmers Gas station due to a lack of bananas (or fasting rules!). Next up, the hosts tackle some truly perplexing Dickman Dilemmas: The agonizing choice of a Celebrity Punch Pass – one free punch with no immediate consequences, but payback is a certainty. The bizarre conundrum of a Talking Foot Fungus Fiasco offering stock tips with a strange sartorial demand. And the ultimate moral quandary: the temptation of a Doomsday Tweet for a billion likes. The creative sparks fly in What Would Jesus Draw, where the theme is Jesus on a farm doing a farm thing in front of someone: Cody envisions Jesus hilariously poking a scarecrow with a pitchfork. Rem takes us to a galaxy far, far away with Jesus alongside Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, fixing an evaporator. Randy brings the agricultural artistry with Jesus driving a combine and (potentially) making a crop circle with Fred. Ray delivers a truly unforgettable image of Jesus delivering a calf in front of a bewildered Sarah Palin.

The Supreme Court race is tied, with 87% of Wisconsinites supporting voter ID. Steve Cortes highlights Susan Crawford's opposition to voter ID and her potential impact on future elections, including redistricting. The Catholic vote, crucial in Wisconsin, could sway the outcome.

Finally, Caleb Burns discusses the potential landmark case of United States v. Alexander Sittenfeld, a city councilman accused of accepting a campaign contribution in exchange for a vote on a development project. Despite Sittenfeld's denial of corrupt intent, he was convicted based on inferences. The case highlights concerns about the weaponization and criminalization of politics, the FBI's role in entrapment, and the federalization of state crimes through the Hobbs Act.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The fast-approaching Wisconsin Supreme Court election isn't just a local squabble, it really is a national tipping point. On April 1st, Wisconsin will choose between Common Sense Judicial Review with Brad Shimmel or Radical Leftism with Susan Crawford. Why is this matter?
