Welcome to the Defender, Wisconsin's environmental podcast, where we talk about the most pressing environmental issues facing Wisconsin and how you can plug in to defend our air, water, land and climate. The Defender is hosted by former radio and TV journalist Amy Barrilleaux. She'll help cut through the jargon and all the misinformation that’s out there and have real conversations about how to build a healthy, sustainable future. Every week, Amy talks with scientists, advocates, farmers, experts, and just everyday people who are working right here in Wisconsin to make a difference to protect this place we call home.

The voice of America is not the voice of a politician. It’s not the voice of a billionaire.

That’s what made us the most popular working-class program in America, and we’re just getting started. Join Rick every weeknight from 8-9pm as we do our part to restore America to the people who built it.
