We find out why so many people don’t feel heard, and how to be better listeners. Mac and cheese is one of America’s signature comfort foods and a Wisconsin favorite. We find out where it

originated and how it changed over time. We also take a closer look at the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling today expanding civil rights protections to protect gay and transgender individuals

from workplace discrimination. FEATURED IN THIS SHOW * A GUIDE TO LISTENING MORE AND MISSING LESS Our guest, someone who asks questions and listens for a living, says we have lost our
