Ahead of Veterans Day, we hear the story of a Wisconsin soldier who turned to the forest to cope with PTSD. We also hear from a researcher about the excitement of discovering a rare moss in the northwoods. We also look at what Congress is working on after passing a major infrastructure package last week.

    A UW-Green Bay professional moss enthusiast happened upon a variety that’s never been documented before — at least by non-native academic standards. We learn about what this discovery means, and a bit about the massive plant sample museum our guest curates.

  • Week in Washington: November 10, 2021

    House Democrats passed the bipartisan infrastructure package late Friday after months of infighting. We talk about how it went down and what comes next.
