You might associate ghost towns with the wild, wild west, but Wisconsin’s surplus of natural resources has long drawn people to settle a town that thrives and eventually dies out. We talk to a regional historian about lost towns in counties all over the state. We also talk about excited delirium, an intense panic-like state that can have serious health consequences if not properly handled. And we discuss the Trump Administration’s reimposed sanctions against Iran.
