Our daily lives are full of untapped inspriation and joy, if we could just notice it. That’s according to our guest. Then we look at the tradition of dairy-focused breakfasts going forward, despite milk producers going under. And we hear from one of the authors of a new report on poverty in Wisconsin.

Featured in this Show

  • The Art Of Noticing

    So many things are competing for our attention, but how much do we as people truly notice, and draw inspiration from, in our daily lives? We discuss more than 100 suggestions from our guest’s book for sparking joy and creativity out of the mundane.

  • Dairy Breakfasts Going Strong Despite Industry Challenges

    Wisconsin farmers continue to make June dairy breakfasts a priority. That’s despite falling milk prices that have eaten into profits and even forced some producers to close operations. We look at why the annual breakfasts are still so important to farmers and their communities.

  • Where Does Poverty In Wisconsin Go From Here?

    After the release earlier this week of a new report on poverty in Wisconsin by the U-W Madison Institute for Research on Poverty, we discuss the different effects state and federal proposals and legislation could have on the state’s low-income population.
