Reason #9: Podcasts

In recent years, WNIJ has made the jump from broadcast to podcast so that you have even more ways to explore northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. One of your guides on that journey is WNIJ’s roving correspondent Dan Libman. He’s taken his microphone to the sled hills, fishing holes, and open roads of the WNIJ listening area for our podcast“Under Rocks.” He even transformed into “The Librarian” to shush his way into submission on the wrestling stage.

We also produce the Teachers’ Lounge podcasthosted by education reporter Peter Medlin. Every other week, he talks with students, parents, and educators about how the pandemic has radically shifted learning in the 21st century. All of the guests for the show come from listener suggestions.

You can also take a dive into our rich podcast archives including a fan favorite, “Drinkin with Lincoln,” hosted by Clint Cargile.
