Travel expert Rose Gray returns to The Scaffidiology Podcast to talk all things travel with Steve Scaffidi, including an exciting new chapter in the growing partnership between WTMJ and Fox World Travel.
The latest announcement? Julia Fello, host of Wisconsin’s Afternoon News, is joining the lineup of WTMJ personalities leading listener trips with the new “British Crown Experience” — a journey exploring the history, culture, and fascination with British royalty.
Having traveled to the U.K. many times, Rose shares insight into why Americans remain captivated by British culture — along with practical advice for international travelers, including one key tip: make sure your technology and connectivity are set before you go.
Whether you’re dreaming of your next trip or already packing your bags, this episode is full of inspiration and helpful tips.
In the third episode of “A Matter of Faith,” a special series from The Scaffidiology Podcast, host Steve Scaffidi sits down with Pastor Temo Rios, lead pastor at Urban Poiema Church in West Allis, Wisconsin.
Serving a largely Hispanic/Latino congregation, Pastor Rios shares how he helps his community navigate complex and often personal issues — including immigration, identity, and the connection between current events and faith. With a focus on compassion, service, and real-world application, Rios discusses how faith leaders guide their members in living out the messages they hear inside the church once they step outside of it.
In this thoughtful conversation, Scaffidi and Rios explore key questions at the heart of the series: How much should politics shape faith-based messaging? And in a complicated world, does good ultimately prevail?
Dr. Ryan Martin — better known as “The Anger Professor” — joins Steve Scaffidi for a thoughtful and timely conversation on the latest episode of The Scaffidiology Podcast.
A best-selling author, podcaster, and nationally recognized expert on emotional wellness and anger management, Martin is the author of Emotion Hacks: 50 Ways to Feel Better Fast, Why We Get Mad: How to Use Your Anger for Positive Change, and How to Deal with Angry People. He also serves as Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay.
In this wide-ranging discussion, Martin explores how identity politics and social media may be amplifying anger in America — and why not all anger is a bad thing. In fact, some anger, when understood and managed well, can be a force for positive change.
On the latest edition of Scaffidiology, Steve Scaffidi heads — almost literally — to the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field.
Corey Behnke, co-founder of Cheesehead TV, joins Scaffidi from his backyard just across Lombardi Avenue from Lambeau, for a conversation that blends football fandom with cutting-edge media innovation.
Best known for Cheesehead TV, Packers Transplants, and the Carry the G cream ale brand, Behnke is also the co-founder and CEO of LiveX, a leader in live design, webcast production, and global streaming events — from New Year’s Eve in Times Square to the 2020 Democratic National Convention and major worldwide sporting events.
In this episode, Behnke shares why he and Cheesehead TV co-founder Aaron Nagler bring an authentic fan perspective to Packers coverage — and how the team’s uniquely global fanbase fuels everything they do.
In the second episode of “A Matter of Faith,” a special series from The Scaffidiology Podcast, host Steve Scaffidi sits down with Rabbi Jacob Herber, Senior Rabbi at Congregation Beth El in Norfolk, Virginia, for a wide-ranging and timely conversation on faith, politics, and moral leadership.
In the first episode of a new Scaffidiology Podcast series titled “A Matter of Faith,” host Steve Scaffidi sits down with retired Episcopal priest Kevin Carroll for a thoughtful conversation on the intersection of faith and politics in the United States.
As religion continues to influence how many Americans view political issues — and how they vote — the role of faith leaders has increasingly come into focus. Should political viewpoints ever enter places of worship? And how do faith leaders navigate these conversations with their congregations?
Over the coming months, Scaffidiology will feature voices from a variety of faith traditions to explore how political discourse has shaped — or avoided — religious leadership.
On-air host and producer Alex Strouf is one of the fastest-rising voices at ESPN Milwaukee and Good Karma Brands, and he joins Steve Scaffidi for a lively, thoughtful episode of The Scaffidiology Podcast.
Raised in Green Bay, Strouf breaks down the Packers with passion and insight, blending deep sports knowledge with an infectious broadcasting style that keeps listeners leaning in. He also opens up about the physical challenges he faced early in life, how they shaped his path into broadcasting, and what drives his approach behind the microphone today.
From sports to perspective — and a few thoughts on frustrated Packers fans — it’s a conversation that shows why Strouf is quickly becoming a standout voice in Wisconsin sports media.
