Food Friday: The science of picking, storing and cooking vegetables
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, half of our meals should consist of fruits or vegetables. However, veggies are often an after-thought when we cook—a side dish or supplement to the main dish. But knowing how to properly choose, store and cook vegetables can elevate them from a bland necessity to a delight. We talk to the author of a new book that breaks down the science of making delicious, vegetable-focused meals.

The role of cash in an increasingly cashless society
A new bill in the state legislature aims to require businesses in Wisconsin to accept cash for all transactions under $2,000. We hear from a WPR reporter who covered a hearing for the proposal, and then we talk to a Wisconsin anthropologist who resarches the role of cash in society.
