  • WUWM

    This is my only audio source for Milwaukee news. I think,as a podcast, a better format would be to tie the stories into a once-daily episode, rather than short segments. Nevertheless I’m very happy to have it.

  • Stenographic journalism ....

    ... But the best currently available in the Milwaukee area. The management is openly hostile to the ideal of "afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted," so know what you're consuming when consuming this media offering. This is often "one side says this, the other side disagrees" stenography. More fact-checking would be appreciated.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How could a U.S. Supreme Court decision on access to abortion medication impact Wisconsin?
Q: Do you expect that a ruling limiting mail order and telehealth access would impact Wisconsin, and if so, how?
The impact would primarily affect Wisconsinites who rely on mail order or shield-law access; Wisconsin providers are already barred from mail-order/telehealth, so the effect would show up as reduced avenues for obtaining pills for those in more remote areas or who depend on non-traditional access routes.
Teen organizer of Youth Victory Over Violence Week says parents ‘just have to hear kids out'
Q: Tell me more about why it's significant in Milwaukee.
Naraya explains that violence and misperceptions about teens are often shaped by adults, and emphasizes that many teens have complex home lives and experiences that deserve understanding rather than blanket judgments.
Flood watch issued as heavy rain causes flooding, school disruptions & MMSD urges less water use
Q: What is the best place to get timely information and updates during severe weather?
People should stay weather-aware by monitoring social media, using weather apps, signing up for alerts for tornadoes, thunderstorms, and floods, and considering NOAA weather radios as a reliable backup.
Wisconsin climatologist says extreme weather is becoming more common in April
Q: Is this April stacking up in comparisons to previous years?
Yes, it is an early start to the severe weather season, with April already showing record rainfall and setting the stage for more storms as the season progresses.
Why have there been so many tornadoes in Wisconsin this April?
Q: What do you know about what's causing the higher tornado activity this April?
An unusually active storm track from the Northern Rockies into Canada is bringing warm, humid air into Wisconsin earlier in the season, creating the conditions for more frequent severe storms than typical for April, and extending the storm season.
