Spanning The State

Today on Spanning the State Kristin Brey and Brian Noonan start the show with a recap of some of the craziest and newsworthy headlines from the weekend that you might've missed. Then they speak on the Noah's ark esq list of animals used for groundhog's day like Goats and Penguins. As well as the infamous Punxsutawney Phil's prediction for six more weeks of winter. Then is it Black History Month, it may be up in the air if the rest of the country will celebrate after President Donald Trump's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Rollbacks but Kristin and Brian make space for the observed holiday. They speak to Michael Jahr the film director of a new full-length documentary, "Liberty at Stake: The Joshua Glover Story" and the Wisconsin tie to the freedom of a black man in southeast Wisconsin and why we don't know about this story. It is also a special birthday today, but Brian does not know whose, listen and see if you can figure it out.
