Author Description

With Wisconsin Curiosities, popular public radio show host Michael Feldman brings his deliciously sarcastic perspective to the subject of his home state. Together with co-author Diana Cook, he's combed Wisconsin for more than 125 of the weirdest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Badger State has to offer. You'll meet a man who owes his life to a foam rubber cheesehead, a worm that plays basketball, and a family of champion stilt-walkers. You'll discover the best places to savor chicken in a hubcap, whitefish livers, and that notoriously odorous limburger cheese. You'll visit far away places such as the Taj Mahal, Mount Rushmore, Chartres Cathedral, and even Stonehenge - and you'll be home in time for dinner!
