Oh hey dere! Welcome to Wisco Girls!
This is a Midwestern podcast with lifelong Wisconsin besties and hosts, Kate and Sav. In their debut episode, the Wisco Girls introduce themselves, their connection to each other, and their credibility to speak on behalf of all things beer, cheese, and small town Wisconsin. They also touch upon small town music festivals, high school reunions, and some of the terminology that is common to their state.
To follow, Sav will give you the lowdown on Wisconsin: culture, geography, population, history, sports, economy, and more. Hold on tight as they connect with fellow Wisconsinites, Midwesterners, and others who know what the heck they're talking about.
Keep listening as they navigate the podcasting world and bring you more awesome content on all things Midwest and 'Scansin specific.
Things to look forward to in the upcoming episodes:
The History of Wisconsin Supper Clubs. How Old Fashioneds connect to prohibition and a Wisconsinite's refusal to stray from tradition, and how big time gangsters used our rural supper clubs as sanctuaries as they were conducting business or on the lamb.
The Story of Ed Gein. For you true crime fans, see if Sav can give you some insight, and follow along as Kate hears the story for the FIRST TIME.
The Significance of the Wisconsin Summer. What really makes it so special? Do they really spend that much time "floating?" What exactly is flip flop chicken? How did the Wisconsin Dells become The Waterpark Capital of the World?
We hope you keep listening! Remember to tell your folks we say hi, and don't forget to watch out for deer.

Episode 2: Love a Good Salad Bar (Wisconsin Supper Clubs Part 1)
Heya Cheeseheads!
This week on Wisco Girls, we discuss the unique experience that is the Wisconsin Supper Club. Rooted in the best ingredients and the stubbornness of tradition, Wisconsin supper clubs have a rich history with wild tales, spooky happenings, and testaments to our culture.
Come with us as we begin our dive into what these supper clubs entail and our own personal experiences. We had to break for dinner because we were getting so gosh darn hungry taking about the specials and had much left to say on the matter, so we decided to break for part 2!
BUT DO NOT FRET! Part 2 will be out before you know it and sooner than you think, so how's about you keep your eyes peeled, hey?
Thank you so much for listening!
-Kate and Sav
