WXPR A Northwoods Moment in History
We turn back the clock on WXPR with local historian Gary Entz to find out what life in the Northwoods used to be like. This is part of a new initiative by WXPR to tell the history and culture of northern Wisconsin.

WXPR All Things Outdoors
From hunting to hiking and snowmobiling to water skiing, there’s no shortage of outdoor recreation opportunities in the Northwoods. In WXPR’s All Things Outdoors, we talk with DNR Conservation Warden Tim Otto about what you need to know to stay safe and have fun while out in the woods.

WXPR Field Notes
On the second Tuesday of every month, we hear from our contributors in the field. Susan Knight and Gretchen Gerrish both work for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Limnology at Trout Lake Station. Scott Bowe is the Director of Kemp Natural Resources Station.

WXPR The Stream
Water in Wisconsin’s Northwoods and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula serves as the basis of life and health. With countless lakes, rivers, springs, and aquifers, water is also linked with the very identity of this region. As a service to our listeners, WXPR is pleased to announce the creation of a new reporting position with a specific focus: water.

WXPR We Live Up Here
WXPR’s We Live Up Here series is a home for stories that focus on the people, history, and culture that make the Northwoods of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan such a unique place to live.

WXPR Curious North (Past Project)
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.

WXPR Non-Profits of the Northwoods (Past Project)
WXPR’s Nonprofits of the Northwoods spotlights organizations in our area that are working to strengthen the community – whether that’s by lending a hand to someone in need, educating about the arts, or caring for the environment.

WXPR Wildlife Matters (Past Project)
Did you know that a chipmunk can throw its voice? Or that Wisconsin has a venomous mammal? What about the answer to the question: can porcupines throw their quills? You can hear Wildlife Matter the last Tuesday of every month on WXPR, where Northwoods Wildlife Center Executive Director Bryon Black answers questions just like these about the animals living here in the Northwoods.
