How the Ho-Chunk Resisted Removal - During the long course of Native Americans displacement from their ancestral lands, Wisconsin’s Ho-Chunk took various steps to resist it—some of the successful. Historian Stephen Kantrowitz tells how many Ho-Chunk found ways to return to Wisconsin and remain via ways legal and illegal. We’ll hear how some Ho-Chunk who were forced to live farthest from their homeland had a turn of luck that those exiling them would envy.

The Fake News About Shakespeare - According to the Oxford English Dictionary, William Shakespeare coined over 3,000 words that are still in use in modern-day English. Well, a few years ago the authoritative dictionary cut that number down to about 1,500 words — but no matter; it’s still a huge number. Well, actually ... the OED never said that Shakespeare invented words.
