As Goes Wisconsin believes there is a fun, innovative, and uncomplicated way to talk about state and local politics while still celebrating all things Wisconsin.
We create content that informs, entertains and inspires civic engagement because it’s up to all of us to do our part to keep Wisconsin moving forward.
Kristin Brey is a writer, video creator and radio host whose work can be defined by getting people to laugh, making the super complicated super not & motivating more people to give a damn.
While born and raised in Madison, WI, Kristin spent half her life bouncing around the coasts and changing career paths almost as often as she changed her hair color.
In 2020, those disparate experiences, combined with a global pandemic and getting stuck at her parents’ place in central Wisconsin led to the creation of As Goes Wisconsin. And as they say, the rest is history.
While she began her broadcasting career in Minnesota, Jane Matenaer’s voice and distinctive laugh have been heard in her home state of Wisconsin since 1984.
Jane joined Kristin Brey’s “As Goes Wisconsin” on the Civic Media Network in July of 2022 and is thrilled to be a part of this exciting new venture as producer, side-kick and forager of funny songs.
Married for 20 years to a cantankerous Englishman, Jane has a long theatre background, adores animals and has a love/hate relationship with gardening.
Greg Bach has called the Milwaukee comedy scene home for nearly 20 years and has performed all over the world. He has performed with W. Kamau Bell, Hari Kondabolu, Matt Braunger and Jackie Kashian.
Greg is a graduate of The Second City writing program and in 2016, he created The Badger Times Journal Report, a live satirical news program about Wisconsin. Currently he is a co-owner/producer of The Laughing Tap Comedy Club.
He enjoys baseball, building Lego sets and watching tennis, but doesn’t get the deal with pickleball.
