Airs Mondays - Fridays at noon & 7 pm
Lake Effect is your connection to the community. We bring you local conversations about the people, places and organizations that shape Milwaukee.
Lake Effect is taking a summer break this week. Instead of the show you’ll hear Wired to Create. It's a series that examines why people — in an age of AI and automation — still have a desire to make things with their hands and imaginations. Lake Effect will be back with new shows on Monday, July 20. https://www.wuwm.com/lakeeffect
