    More than 50,000 people are expected to converge on Milwaukee in July of 2020, when the city hosts the Democratic National Convention. We learn about the political significance of the party’s choice to hold the convention there and the message it sends ahead of the 2020 presidential race.

  • Analyst Considers What Foxconn Will Build In Wisconsin

    When the deal between then-Gov. Scott Walker and Foxconn executives was signed, the plan was for the company to build a mammoth manufacturing campus in Racine County. Now, industry analysts are skeptical that even a certain smaller version of that plant will be built. We discuss why they’re dubious and what they say is likely to be built in Wisconsin instead.

  • Subscription Box Culture

    The subscription box industry has skyrocketed over the past several years. In 2017 alone, these companies have generated about $10 billion dollars in sales. From Harry Potter memorabilia to Wisconsin made products, anything imaginable can come in a box to your home. Our guest helps us understand this growing trend.
