It was a big weekend for Ian with the CenterStage at the Grand Theater concert. We talk about how great it is to have such a fantastic free show that showcases local talent. Also, a new Democrat joins the Governor's race. Could 2026 be a year that allows an outsider or generally little-known candidate a chance to win like 50 years ago with Jimmy Carter and the Presidential campaign? A handful of new polling shows bad news for Donald Trump. Why does it always sound and feel like he's more popular than he is? Finally it was a great weekend for both the Wausau East and Wausau West football teams in wins we broadcast on 98.9 WXCO.
