On the Earth Productions is pioneering an open forum with their show, Advancing the Cause, recorded at the WYOU Community Television, Inc. studios. The first program included host Todd Alan Price, professor at National-Louis University interviewing Mike McCabe, Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign and Attorney Ed Garvey, Editor of Fighting Bob. This first program concerned the ongoing challenge of campaign finance reform. Karen Rybold-Chin produced the program and WYOU tech Eric Allin offered technical assistance.
