Wisco Wilderness with Ben Jarboe
Dive into the heart of Wisconsin’s great outdoors with the Wisco Wilderness Podcast — a seasonal series celebrating the traditions, stories, and adventures that make the Badger State special. Hosted by Ben Jarboe, this podcast highlights the lifestyle Wisconsin outdoor enthusiasts live for.
From early-morning fishing trips and bow hunting season to ice fishing, snowmobiling, boating, and UTV adventures, Wisco Wilderness covers it all. Each episode also features seasonal tips, timely outdoor updates, and conversations with local experts — including insights from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Whether you're chasing trophy bucks, casting a line on your favorite lake, or exploring Wisconsin’s trails, Wisco Wilderness brings you closer to the outdoors you love.
New episodes drop every other Saturday morning.

- Provided supplies for the Positive Image Center, offering wigs, hats, and salon services to patients at no cost
- Supplied gas cards and transportation resources for families traveling to and from treatments multiple times each week
- Supported Tyler’s Place sibling care, allowing parents to stay with their hospitalized child while siblings are cared for in a safe, nurturing environment
- Provided dinners for thousands of moms, dads, and patient visitors
Every dollar helps bring comfort, hope, and healing.
