The spooky segments aren't over yet with John and Gordy up first! Sha’Ron Buie joined to talk about his incredible work across multiple justice and community organizations — from the Federal Defender Service to Madison’s Police Advisory Board and Reentry Councils in both Madison and Milwaukee. He also shared the exciting news that MOSES will be honoring him this November for his ongoing commitment to criminal justice reform and equity.
Valley Focus with Lisa Hale got into the Halloween spirit with Ieva Engel, executive director of the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. Ieva shared important pet safety tips to keep your furry friends safe and stress-free during the holiday — from candy hazards to costume comfort — ensuring that every four-legged ghoul can join in the spooky fun safely.
On the Todd Allbaugh Show, it was another round of “Mondays with Matenaer,” as Todd and Jane dove into the topic of political tribalism. They took aim at both sides of the aisle — Republicans dodging blame for the government shutdown, and Democrats refusing to call out their own over leadership issues at DPI. The conversation was sharp, honest, and refreshingly self-aware, challenging listeners to demand better accountability from everyone.
Last but not least, on the WXCO Morning Report, Chad welcomed Cheryl Martino from NAMI Northwoods to discuss the vital mental health services available in Wausau. Cheryl explained how NAMI’s programs provide support, education, and advocacy for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges — an important reminder that help and community are always within reach.
