  • Wisconsin Tourism Is Back

    Wisconsin’s COVID-19 infections are steadily decreasing and the CDC says it’s okay for fully vaccinated Americans to travel domestically. After a challenging tourism season last year, Wisconsin is poised to do much better in 2021. We speak with the state’s acting tourism secretary about how Wisconsin’s attractions are doing and where to go this summer.

  • A Look At Baseball's 'Sticky Stuff' Rule

    Amid record strikeouts and overall poor hitting, Major League Baseball says it’s going to get tough on pitchers who use illegal foreign substances to doctor baseballs. We look at the scope of the problem. We also get an update on the Milwaukee Brewers season.

  • What's Up With Electric Flying Cars?

    Flying cars? Experts say those days are a long way off, but developers are working on them – and say they’ll be cheaper and safer than helicopters. Plus, forget about having to be stuck in traffic. We look at when the dream may become reality.
