For the second hour of the Civic Media Spotlight,  Professor John Hall joins Maggie Daun to discuss the crucial balance of maintaining an apolitical military amidst the political turbulence of a Trump administration. They explore the implications of military resignations and the unsettling trend of using the National Guard for political gain. Next up we have the WXCO Morning Report with Chad Holmes. Chad sits down with Hillary Hastings and Erin Noll of the Central Wisconsin Educational Theater Alliance to discuss “Designer Handbag Bingo” this Saturday and the upcoming production of “Shrek: The Musical”. Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba is next up where Phil Johnston discusses his film 'The Twits,' a tale of empathy and power, with Natalie Portman lending her voice. Schwaba dives into Johnston’s journey from live-action comedies like 'Cedar Rapids' to animated hits like 'Wreck-It Ralph,' revealing the iterative nature of animation storytelling. Last but certaintly not least, we have the John & Gordy Show! John and Gordy talk with former three time Madison Mayor Paul Soglin about how protests invigorate movements. As a democrat, you do not want to push forward with protests but rather keep them in moderation. He also talked about the significance of moderate candidates in swing districts.
