  • How To Appreciate — And Train — Cats

    For National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, we talk about what makes felines such unique pets, and how people can adopt. We also get a handle on their evolutionary history to understand what makes them tick, and — though it takes patience — train them to do anything from “shake” to “high five.”

  • Understanding Amish Culture And Health Care

    Wisconsin has the fourth largest Amish population in North America. More settlements develop every year and we’re learning more about Amish culture and health care. Our guests explain their latest research on these populations and why culturally-sensitive health care is important.
