UPCOMING PROGRAM NOTES

Coming up on Animal Radio: Allan Dixon won the best job in the world. He gets paid to take pictures with animals. Allan has an uncanny ability to "talk" animals into posing for a selfie with him. This might sound like the most privileged, millennial job in the world, but Dixon worked for this role. He'll explain to “Animal Radio” listeners. Plus, people cuddle more with their pets than significant others, we get "tails" from a celebrity pet-sitter, and much more.

Here's what's happening this week on Around The House with Eric G: In Hour 1 we'll tackle water filtration and what are the dos and don’ts of navigating this sometimes confusing subject. Are the phrases “master bathroom” and “master bedroom” something we should be offended by? We’ll also examine whether it’s a good idea to buy that online plumbing fixture and install it in your shower. In Hour 2 we’re going to dive into pool safety and talk about the best locations for those above-ground pool kits. Plus, we’ll discuss some tips and tricks for getting the most out of your air conditioner.

This week on BBQ Nation, we are getting ready for the 4th of July and talking ribs with the man himself, Meathead Goldwyn from AmazingRibs.com. The 4th of July is the biggest day of the year to cook ribs; find out how with Meathead. In the show's second hour we talk with Lynae Oxley Loupe from Sugar Babies. Lynae is a pit master and caterer. You’ve seen her on "Chopped" and "BBQ Pitmasters." She shares her take on BBQ and the BBQ biz. Remember, turn it, don't burn it with "BBQ Nation"!

This week on The Mike Nowak Show with Peggy Malecki, we wrap up National Pollinator Week with Mary Phillips of the National Wildlife Federation and Jill Utrup from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Minnesota/Wisconsin Ecological Services Field Office. Get ready for a great discussion about beneficial pollinator insects, how you can get help with pollinator conservation as a citizen scientist, ways to plant your own backyard wildlife habitat and how living in a pandemic is affecting home gardening trends. Oil pipelines are in the news this week as a Michigan judge Thursday temporarily shut down the damaged Enbridge Line 5 twin pipelines, which run through the Straits of Mackinac. In the show's second hour, Liz Kirkwood of FLOW (For Love of Water) and SurfRider Foundation’s Mitch McNeil join us to give an update on the case, ongoing legal efforts to permanently cease operations on Line 5 and the potential impacts of pipelines on the Great Lakes.
