The Todd Allbaugh Show

As we touched on yesterday, President Trump is moving to end all mail-in voting. Since our show, the bipartisan Democracy Defense Project-Wisconsin spoke out against this announcement . An executive order to end mail-in voting would violate the constitution, as it requires that states administer elections rather than the federal government.  This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: sauerkra...

In these troubling times, Wisconsin’s sports teams are a powerful force for unity in our state. The Brewers in particular are on a hot streak as they continue their series against the Cubs. However, not everything is hunky-dory when it comes to Wisconsin sports. While many UW schools have successful teams, the mental health of student athletes– particularly women– is in dire need of attention.&nbs...

It’s just about the right time of year to clean out our garages to be ready for Winter. This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: cleaning the fridge or cleaning the garage? We take your calls and texts.  Crude oil pipelines have long been a point of contention in our state and the nation. At the bottom of the hour, we welcome Evan Feinauer, the Staff Attorney of Clean Wisconsin , to explain...

This morning, President Donald Trump held a press conference in which he made some very concerning comments about voting in our nation. Under the guise of a joke about wartime election delays in Ukraine, Trump insinuated that it would be “good” if America is at war in 2028 and a Presidential election cannot be held. The President also announced that he plans to end mail-in ballots in our country,...

In our second hour, Todd asks us What’s Worse: NFL preseason games or college football nonconference blowouts? In other words, is it worse to have games with no bearing on team standings or games that may have wildly mismatched teams? We take your calls and texts.  At the bottom of the hour, we ask an actual football player what he thinks about our question! Three-time B1G champion and former...

Keep an eye or ear tuned to your local weather service! More severe thunderstorms may be headed all around the state this weekend. The worst storms are expected on Saturday and Sunday night. Additionally, Madison in particular will have heavy traffic on the Isthmus this weekend due to the annual gap in student housing leases.  As the summer comes to a close, many of us are getting our final v...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: red cars or yellow cars? We take your calls and texts on which color irks you more.  Last hour, one of our listeners asked why MAGA leadership is making cuts to public broadcasting. Civic Media News Director Chali Pittman has the answer. The infamous Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership contained the rationale for ending the Corporation for Public Bro...

Right as we wrapped up yesterday’s show, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their 12th victory in a row, securing free burgers at George Webb for their fans!  As we have talked about previously, the Trump administration is officially defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. At the bottom of the hour, we are honored to welcome Sarah Ashworth and Jon Miskowski, the Directors of Wisconsin...

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Berrien is on the record saying that he supports a “constitutional carry” law in Wisconsin, which would allow anybody and everybody to conceal firearms without training or a license. Todd and Trygve talk about the many reasons why this could spell disaster. As gun owners, they are both acutely aware of the incredible responsibility that falls upon anybody ho...

Now that Trygve is back in the country, we are joined by our typical Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of Mornings with Pat Kreitlow and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project . We kick things off with some baseball hype, as the Milwaukee Brewers are on another incredible 11-game winning streak. They are the first team to have multiple 11+ game win streaks since the Cubs in 1935. Our trio also touches o...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: being emotionally closed off or enthusiastically open? We take your calls and texts on which emotional communication style is worse.  At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us in-studio to share some excellent news. Senator Roys was the first Democrat to support a bill that opens up nurses to run their own medical practices in our...

The Milwaukee Brewers are white-hot right now, but the Green Bay Packers are having a rough pre-season start. Civic Media Sports Reporter Mike Clemens calls in to share his observations on the ground at Lambeau Field. While many members of the team are on an upward trajectory, the team announced that quarterback Jordan Love injured his left hand. Yikes.  After the sports conversation, Todd up...

Kory Hartman joins the program to help us understand how and why the severe weather that hit Wisconsin and the Milwaukee area. Todd discusses President Donald Trump’s order for the National Guard in DC due to a DOGE employee getting in a scuffle. Callers join and raise questions of martial law. Also, Todd and Parker reveal whether or not they agree on what’s worse: banana or watermelon flavoring....

Milwaukee’s were historically bad over the weekend, Governor Evers is sending in the National Guard. Meanwhile Madison has it’s own issues with an underground electrical fire putting many in the downtown area without power on Sunday. We highlight a few farm stories, including one farm that saved a few coy fish from floods. Todd and guest producer Parker talk Brewers and Isaac Collins walk-off. The...

Kash Patel and the FBI are looking to get Texas state democrats to come back to Texas to push ahead a vote for the Republican suggested gerrymandered maps. What’s worse prompts the debate of stomach aches vs headaches. The hour concludes with Peter Rapine with wacky headlines from the week. The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs live Monday through Friday from 2...

The FBI’s Acting Director Brian Driscoll was let go, possibly for his involvement in investigating January 6th capitol rioters. And in breaking news, Apollo 13 astronaut James Lovell dies at age 97. Mike Clemens joins to tell a story of meeting Lovell and he also gives a sports update. The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs live Monday through Friday from 2-4 pm...

Last night, Todd stopped for dinner at Culver’s and saw an unusual sight in the parking lot: a Chick-fil-A truck! This inspires today’s question. What’s Worse: Culver’s or Chick-fil-A? Apparently, Chick-fil-A employees have their own takes on this. We also take your calls and texts.  At the bottom of the hour, we’re happy to welcome Casey Hicks, the Federal Government Affairs Manager with the...

To kick off today’s show, we share some deeply disturbing national news. RFK Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services is terminating contracts to research mRNA technology. After mRNA vaccines were successfully used in COVID-19 vaccines to save countless lives and now show promise in cancer drug development, this decision is mind-boggling.  The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media r...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: restaurants that don’t have waffle fries or restaurants that only have waffle fries?  At the bottom of the hour, Brian VanHooker of Cracked.com comes back to celebrate the return of King of the Hill! The hit animated show by Mike Judge had an initial 14-season run featuring everyday folks in rural Texas, and now it’s back for more.  Here are the...

After a brief conversation about finding the perfect baseball cap, Todd shares the latest WI gubernatorial non-announcement. Former Governor Tommy Thompson hasn’t said he will run, but he hasn’t said he won’t. Todd believes that this is just an effort to remain relevant and that Tommy Thompson won’t run for a fifth term as governor.  At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by Kyle LaFond. He...

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: neighborhood covenants or no restrictions? It turns out that this is a complicated and contentious issue, so we take a lot of calls and texts on the topic.  To wrap up today’s show, we return to Friday’s edition of What’s Worse as Todd tries Malort for the first time.  The Todd Allbaugh Show is a part of the Civic Media radio network and airs live Mo...
