Surveys show the vast majority of Americans don’t trust the news media. We talk about why and whether the media can salvage its reputation. We also hear how therapy has gone digital during the pandemic. Plus, the details on a StoryCorps project looking to veterans to share their memories.

Featured in this Show

  • Why Americans Distrust The Media

    According to a new survey, 86 percent of Americans say news organizations advocate political viewpoints instead of reporting news free of bias. We look at why there’s so much distrust in the press, why it matters and what the media can do to regain the public’s trust.

  • Teletherapy During The Pandemic

    As the coronavirus pandemic required people to stay home, teletherapy replaced traditional in-person therapy sessions. We speak with two Wisconsin counselors about the challenges and unexpected advantages of therapy via video conference.

  • StoryCorps' Military Voices Initiative Comes To Wisconsin

    We learn about the StoryCorps Military Voices Initiative, and how Wisconsinites who are current and former members of the military can participate and tell their stories.
