Curious North
Are you curious to know more about our region, its people and its culture? Curious North invites you to take part in the stories we cover. It’s guided by you, our listeners, and your curiosity about our region – from Central Wisconsin to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Here's how it works: You ask a question and then we investigate and share our findings. The questions can be big or small.
