Here's what’s on the menu: 🔒 Should Ghislaine Maxwell be pardoned? After her prison downgrade, Steve and Kristin ask listeners if a Trump pardon would cross a line—and the audience didn’t hold back. 🥕 Addi Faerber from Farm Fresh Atlas joins in-studio to talk about the boom in farmers markets, why CSA memberships are rising, and what cuts to federal school lunch programs mean for local farms. 🥧 It’s a cream puff showdown! Kristin preps for the Celebrity Cream Puff Eating Contest with tips from Tess Kerksen. 🎡 State Fair Executive Director Shari Black shares how Wisconsin’s Fair stacks up against Minnesota’s and dishes on major fairground upgrades. 🗺️ Governor Tony Evers stops by to talk about his Fair visit, the redistricting chaos in other states, and whether his staff knew he wasn’t running for a third term before the rest of us. Finally… 🍦 It’s World Breastfeeding Week, and yes, Steve and Kristin go there: breast milk ice cream. Is it real? Should it be?
