The construction of the Milwaukee Zoo Interchange has been causing headaches for many drivers, but later this week it will be fully up and running with a few leftover hangups. We talk to a reporter about a portion that is pending due to funding and what that might have to do with a clash between Governor Walker and state democrats. We also become more familiar with the term “healthcare gaslighting” that is used to describe how particular issues pertaining to the care of women and minorities end up neglected.

A Look At The Status Of Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange
One of the state’s largest highway construction projects ever is now complete…or is it? The central hub of the Milwaukee Zoo Interchange, which connects Interstates 41, 94 and 894, will be fully up and running later this week. But an additional portion of the project, aimed at reconstructing a stretch of I-41 north of the main intersection, has been delayed due to a lack of state funding. That’s causing another clash between Governor Scott Walker and state democrats. We’re joined by a reporter to discuss the overall project, how we got here, and what both sides are saying about the status of the construction.

What Happens When Doctors Don't Listen To Women
Health care professionals don’t have all the answers, and are often too overburdened with administrative tasks to do all the research they need to do for their patients. But why is it that so many women and minorities feel that they don’t get answers to their healthcare questions? We explore “healthcare gaslighting.”
