We all know there are regional differences in the United States, but why? One psychologist took a principle used to explain international differences and applied it to the 50 states. She explains this theory and how she used it to explain differences in the U.S. Then we discuss new legislation to tackle campus sexual assault, learn about what it’s like to live inside Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesen in Wisconsin Life, and we talk to a Wisconsinite who’s competing in the International Tree Climbing Championships in Milwaukee this year.
