Bio:
Kristin Brey is a writer, video creator and radio host whose work can be defined by getting people to laugh, making the super complicated super not & motivating more people to give a damn. While born and raised in Madison, WI, Kristin spent half her life bouncing around the coasts and changing career paths almost as often as she changed her hair color.
In 2020, those disparate experiences, combined with a global pandemic and getting stuck at her parents’ place in central Wisconsin led to the creation of As Goes Wisconsin.
In 2024, she joined the 620 WTMJ team to launch a new show called ‘Spanning the State,’ which aims to tell unique, relevant and in-depth stories from across Wisconsin while providing unique analysis from the people, storytellers and newsmakers involved.
