We check in on the latest out of Ukraine as Russian attacks continued through the weekend, with the help of a political science professor. Then, we learn more about the impact volunteers have on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources from the DNR volunteer coordinator. Later, a journalist joins us to explore the biases in the way we cover the war in Ukraine.

Implicit bias in how we talk about — and report on — the war in Ukraine
