We learn more about how foodshare programs work in Wisconsin. Then, a journalist joins us to discuss a new report highlighting concerns over data privacy in our vehicles.

  • Wisconsin FoodShare 101

    Last year, Wisconsin FoodShare participants received more than $2 billion in assistance. But the program has changed since the Department of Health Services stopped distributing emergency pandemic funds and reinstated its normal work requirement. We get an updated FoodShare 101 from Wisconsin’s Medicaid director—who’s eligible, what benefits they can expect and how they can get started.

  • Modern cars are a privacy nightmare, says new report

    While consumers are becoming more aware of how smartphones, apps, and fitness trackers collect personal data, there’s one major culprit most of us don’t think of: cars. A tech journalist shares findings from a new report about why cars are the worst offenders when it comes to data privacy—and what drivers can do about it.
