This week on NEWisco Weekend we take a look at aging well, fighting isolation and loneliness as we get older, and even Pickleball!




Our Cover Story focuses on an effort that seeks to provide human connection, a listening ear, and a simple way to support our fellow humans. It’s called the Community Living Room. Learn how this unique idea is now popping up all over our area – we ask the founders, Lynn McLaughlin and Karen Iverson Riggers, all about it. 





Meteorologist Brittney Merlot gives us two stories, one on fighting wildfires and the second on an upcoming La Niña and how it will affect our weather. Horace Greene is the musical guest and Pete Schwaba has a great classic cinema pick of the week– from a native Wisconsinite.
