Monday on Lake Effect: Milwaukee-Area Flood Preparation, How Did You Do That?, Thoreau in Milwaukee

Monday on Lake Effect:

 

 

Madison is facing historic flooding problems, but how prepared is the Milwaukee area in the event of flood-causing torrential rains?  Later, our "How Did You Do That?" podcast introduces us to Kyle Weatherly and his story of going from law student to Habitat for Humanity volunteer, to the leader of a company that made medical supplies.  Plus we learn what brought philosopher Henry David Thoreau to Milwaukee - for exactly one night.

 

Guests:

  • Flood preparedness feature
  • Kyle Weatherly, Front Desk
  • James Matthew, cardiologist/Thoreau expert
  • Caitlin Canty (song)
