I will be on Wisconsin Public Radio’s Joy Cardin Week in Review program Friday at 7 a.m.

My foil will be Louis Fortis, publisher of Milwaukee’s Shepherd Express. He is probably my favorite Cardin opposite because as a journalist he seems more skeptical and cynical about politics, as opposed to some others on the other side, who think everything Democrats and liberals say is pure wisdom and every Republican and conservative is pure pond scum.

Wisconsin Public Radio’s Ideas Network can be heard on WHA (970 AM) in Madison, WLBL (930 AM) in Auburndale, WHID (88.1 FM) in Green Bay, WHWC (88.3 FM) in Menomonie, WRFW (88.7 FM) in River Falls, WEPS (88.9 FM) in Elgin, Ill., WHAA (89.1 FM) in Adams, WHBM (90.3 FM) in Park Falls, WHLA (90.3 FM) in La Crosse, WRST (90.3 FM) in Oshkosh, WHAD (90.7 FM) in Delafield, W215AQ (90.9 FM) in Middleton, KUWS (91.3 FM) in Superior, WHHI (91.3 FM) in Highland, WSHS (91.7 FM) in Sheboygan, WHDI (91.9 FM) in Sister Bay, WLBL (91.9 FM) in Wausau, W275AF (102.9 FM) in Ashland, W300BM (107.9 FM) in Madison, and of course online at www.wpr.org.

(The family joke is that I’m on WPR around weekend holidays, which means I should be on next week, but I’m not in charge of when, or if, I appear on WPR, or with whom.)
