  • Should automakers put speed-limiting technology in new vehicles?

    Following recent deadly, high-speed crashes across the country, the National Transportation Safety Board is recommending that automakers include intelligent speed assistance technology in new vehicles that could alert drivers when they are speeding and possibly prevent them from driving as fast. We talk to a Wisconsin transportation safety professor about the idea and other ways to reduce speeding.

  • 'Dive Bar Dinner' takes on classic Wisconsin themes

    We talk to Charlie Berens and Adam Greuel about their new album, “Dive Bar Dinner,” which covers classic themes of the upper Midwest: old fashioneds, Midwestern goodbyes, the Michigan-Wisconsin rivalry, and more.
