Joy Cardin discusses the process and politics of impeachment, first with the co-author of a new book describing Obama’s potential offenses, then with a political analyst who says Republicans who are unhappy with the President’s actions have better tools at their disposal.

Tell Joy Where to Go - Summer Is Not Over Yet
Summer festivals are going on all over the state
Labor Day is fast approaching and this last summer holiday usually signals the end of summer and the beginning of the fall season. But you can still eek some summer traditions by attending one of the many summer festivals on around the state.
Travel writer Gary Knowles is the Upper Great lakes columnist to Journal & Topics Newspapers, based in DesPlaines, Illinois, and a Contributing Travel Editor for the online publication, American BoomeR, says the Potato Festival in Rhinelander is worth visiting because “they grow incredible potato’s up there” but there is one festival that Knowles is particularly pleased is finally happening on September 8 in River Falls and that is Bacon Fest. “They’re going to have everything bacon there, bacon eating, bacon market, they’re even going to have bacon ice cream. We have all these festivals, how could we have missed bacon?”
For more information about summer events, there are three sources you can try for information: WisTravel.com, WisconLine.com and TravelWisconsin.com.

Why Teach? In Defense of a Real Education - As students move onto college campuses around the state this week, many are on the verge of declaring majors, perhaps in engineering, business, or physics. But what are they truly learning? Joy Cardin’s guest this hour says too many colleges now focus on the commercial aspects of education and whether students will get jobs when they graduate—while professors must struggle to be “likeable” if they want to get good evaluations. Instead, he says, colleges should support professors who challenge their students, and reinvest in the liberal arts.
