Human Powered Podcast

After 50+ years of partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities, Wisconsin Humanities lost all federal funding on April 3, 2025. As a result, Wisconsin Humanities is in hibernation. To return in the future, we’ve launched The Next Chapter Campaign — an emergency fundraising effort to keep Wisconsin Humanities alive during this pause.

Your State. Your Stories. Your Future.

New Human Powered Podcast episodes will invite you into the conversation.

Jen Rubin, Love Wisconsin's executive producer, and Jessica Becker, Wisconsin Humanities Director of Communication, will bring you new Human Powered episodes to stay connected with what matters in our state right now.

Join us for relevant and personal conversations with people who are using their passions, skills, and cultural traditions to create healthy civic spaces for all of us to build relationships and make connections.
