The Todd Allbaugh Show

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: the cold shoulder or a cold shower? We take your texts on whether it stings more to stand under icy water or to be iced out. After What’s Worse, Todd dives into the news of the weekend. The economy is in absolute freefall due to Donald Trump’s haphazard tariffs. Even many Trump voters are calling out his administration for evaporating their retirement accounts.

The times are a changin’ here at Civic Media! Coming up later this month, The Todd Allbaugh Show is moving to 2-4 pm weekdays for some afternoon delight. Keep listening to Civic Media to hear where the rest of our shows are going. The Wisconsin Film Festival is in full swing! Last night, Todd attended the premiere of A Road at Night, a new film by John Roach chronicling the tragically beautiful story of Howard Moore, a former UW Basketball player and assistant coach who lost nearly everything in a car accident with a drunk driver a few years ago. It’s also a story of a community coming together to support a beloved family. If you want to know how you can support the Moore family, visit domoorefor34.com.

After wrapping up Civic Media’s Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd asks us What’s Worse: common sense or expert opinion? We take a ton of your opinions! Aaron’s board game of the week is Distilled! This is a fantastic game to enjoy with a snifter of bourbon in hand. Each player takes on the role of an heir to a distillery, managing their supply chain and aging process to cultivate the most successful liquor brand.

Todd kicks off the second hour by reuniting with some old friends. Kari Pink, the Interim Executive Communications Officer at UWM, has been a close friend of Todd’s for over 40 years, and she helped to make this campus visit possible. Today also marks the first time Todd is on air with his old broadcast partner Kevin O’Connor in 30 years! Kevin now serves as the UWM Licensing & Product Development Manager, and he talks about how marketing helps to fund student scholarships. After talking with Kevin, we reveal the true identity of UWM’s mascot, Pounce the Panther! Well, not really, but we do have an exclusive interview with the man behind the mask. At the bottom of the hour, we welcome several members of the cast of UWM’s production of Dames at Sea, a campy musical set in the 1930s. Alyna Williams, Abby McBee, and Lucas Drube are all Musical Theatre majors whose performances blew Todd away, inspiring him to bring the show to Milwaukee today.

Today, Todd broadcasts live from UW-Milwaukee for another addition to the What Makes Wisconsin Great tour! UWM too often plays second fiddle to UW-Madison, but it deserves much more credit. Todd is joined by Chancellor Mark Mone, who has served in the role for 11 years and is stepping down this July to shepherd in new leadership. He conveys the importance of UW-Milwaukee as a level one research school and an accessible university for non-traditional students. We also welcome Kim Litwak, Dean of the College of Health Professions & Sciences to speak on how the University is working to address Wisconsin’s healthcare shortage. Veronica Burns, a current UWM nursing student, also chimes in on why she’s choosing this career path.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: passive aggressive or aggressive? Trygve sticks around to give his take. At the bottom of the hour, Madison-based filmmaker and renaissance man John Roach joins us to talk about his new documentary film, A Road at Night, that will be screened this Sunday at the Wisconsin Film Festival. A Road at Night follows the tragically beautiful story of Howard Moore, a former UW Basketball player and assistant coach who lost nearly everything in a car accident with a drunk driver a few years ago.

Last night, Wisconsin elected Judge Susan Crawford to become our next state supreme court justice. Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project joins us to give his take on this election and what it means for Wisconsinites. There’s a national narrative that this election was a referendum on Elon Musk meddling in politics, but Trygve doesn’t believe this to be the sole factor that decided the outcome. At the bottom of the hour, former Republican State Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz joins Todd and Trygve to talk about the political moment we find ourselves in after yesterday’s election. Schultz believes that Wisconsinites are getting sick of how the Trump administration is mistreating our allies and veterans alike.

In our second hour, Todd delves further into some of the numbers on today’s state supreme court election. Ultimately, everything is looking incredibly close. We finish up today’s show with new information on the alleged “gang members” who were sent to Salvadoran prisons without due process. The Trump administration has admitted that at least one person was sent to these inhumane prisons erroneously. Even conservative podcaster Joe Rogan is calling out this unacceptable circumvention of justice.

Finally, after two and a half years, Todd has successfully infiltrated the woke den of liberal indoctrination that is Civic Media. Just kidding! Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio joins us this Tuesday, April first to talk about something that isn’t a joke: today’s election for state supreme court and state superintendent. Lately, Civic Media has been running several political ads endorsing Brad Schimel. While we as a company do not endorse him, we are legally obligated to run all ads submitted by political candidates. Todd breaks down the lies in one of the most egregiously false ads running on our network.

This afternoon, Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez joins us from the road in Green Bay to talk about the state of healthcare in Wisconsin. The UW-System is doing a lot for healthcare workers and retention, but our Republican-led legislature is lagging behind nearly the entire country when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid funding. We are one of two states that hasn’t expanded funding for postpartum Medicaid. At the bottom of the hour, Civic Media Political Editor and Founder of The Recombobulation Area Dan Shafer joins us to expand on tomorrow’s election. Aside from the supreme court and state superintendent races, the ballot has a referendum to amend the Wisconsin constitution. This amendment would require voters to have a photo ID, which is already the law in Wisconsin. Todd walks through his unique personal involvement in Wisconsin voter ID bills, and Dan explains what the motivation for this referendum may be.

Tomorrow, Wisconsin holds its state supreme court election. Today, Judge Susan Crawford joins us on the phone for one last discussion before the people make their choice. At The Todd Allbaugh Show, we encourage everybody to vote regardless of who they’re voting for. However, we believe Judge Crawford has proven herself to be a competent and nonpartisan judge who upholds the law, compared to Brad Schimel’s brazen support of the MAGA agenda. Todd ends the hour by covering President Trump’s latest claims that he will run for a third term. He isn’t joking, and we go over the groundwork that his administration has been laying to make it happen.

From Thursday's show: Trump's Latest Order Disenfranchises 21 Million Voters (Hour 1) Today, the Milwaukee Brewers kick off their season in New York against the Yankees. Todd takes some time to celebrate Bob Uecker and the Brew Crew. On Tuesday, President Trump signed an executive order that could cost approximately 21 million Americans their vote. This order gives Elon Musk access to voter rolls and requires proof of citizenship to vote. A tremendous portion of Americans do not have a current passport. Additionally, military IDs and driver’s licenses don’t count in many states. If somebody has changed their name for any reason and it no longer matches their birth certificate, that doesn’t count either. Todd shares reporting from investigative journalist Greg Palast on what this order may do and why it matters to all of us.

This afternoon, Todd asks us What’s Worse: tattoos and piercings or complaining about tattoos and piercings? We take your calls and texts. At the bottom of the hour, eBaum’s World Managing Editor Peter Rapine is back for another week in review! Here are the real stories of crazy people doing crazy things from the past two weeks: Congressperson Spends Hearing Watching Netflix Instead Of Paying AttentionA Senator Was Caught Coloring During A Gun Control DebateTeacher Tries To Convince Students Slaves Weren't Paid, But They Aren't Buying ItSomeone Keeps Shining Dick-Shaped Laser Pointers at Tourists Visiting the Trevi Fountain in RomeMan Tries To Get Out Of Hitting Someone With His Car Because He's The 'HOA President'People Are Breaking A.I.

As we head into the weekend, Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel are neck and neck in the April 1st state supreme court race. In a now-deleted post on Twitter/X, Elon Musk said he would be speaking in Wisconsin and giving away $2 million to voters on Sunday. Elon also reiterated his claims that American hero and veteran Mark Kelly is a traitor.

We’ve spent some time this week already talking about “Signalgate,” the fiasco where Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz added a journalist to a group chat discussing classified military plans. This gross negligence could have put American lives in grave danger. Now, even conservative podcasters are frustrated with the Trump administration. Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, is now calling for Michael Waltz to step down.

After giving us the next keyword in the Break Into Spring Text To Win Contest, Todd asks us What’s Worse: not remembering names or not remembering where you parked? We take a lot of calls and texts about which kind of forgetfulness is the worst. Todd then moves on to discuss UW-Madison’s new women’s basketball coach, Robin Pingeton. Unfortunately, her record is one of mediocrity at best. Why is the university spending money to hire a new coach with a losing record? This move indicates an apparent lack of dedication to the women’s basketball program. Alternatively, Pingeton may be the strongest candidate willing to take this position on our struggling team.

It’s Wednesday, and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project is here to break down a flurry of Wisconsin news. Firstly, UW-Eau Claire Chancellor Jim Schmidt is leaving his position to become the president of James Madison University in Virginia. This is a huge loss for education in our state, and yet another casualty of Jay Rothman’s continued gutting of UW-System. Next up, Todd and Trygve discuss developments in Pete Hegseth’s Signal chat fiasco. Sharing classified military plans on a non-government app and lying about it is unacceptable. The people involved need to step down or be impeached. At the bottom of the hour, we return to Wisconsin. Trygve shares some new poll numbers and what they mean for our state supreme court race. The two candidates are neck and neck, but higher turnout is statistically more likely to bring victory for Judge Susan Crawford over former Attorney General Brad Schimel.
