Wonder no more, because today's post is audio. I was delighted to be invited back to "Lake Effect," the daily interview-and-arts program on Milwaukee's public radio station WUWM. The interview is here; it's about blogging jurors, and the conversation pulls together several points and themes from prior posts on this site.
If you have time, listen to the other guests too. They include the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel's Tannette Johnson-Elie, who writes wonderfully about the strengths and challenges of Milwaukee's minority-owned business community; authors Alice Sebold and CJ Hribal; and the research director for the Milwaukee Public Policy Forum, which is reporting on problems faced by smaller school districts here.
What's a "lake effect," you ask, since you're not all from around here? It's when spring takes forever -- I mean forever -- to arrive in the towns and neighborhoods along Lake Michigan's shoreline. "Cooler near the lake," the weather folks say day after day. It will drive you crazy, but the fall almost makes up for it, since winter comes a little later to the shoreline too.
