The President and CEO of the Marcus Performing Arts Center shares the work they’re doing to advance racial equity in the performing arts.

We listen back to a conversation with Milwaukee journalist, Meg Jones, who passed away last month. Then, learn about H.H. Bennett, “the man who made the Dells famous.” Plus, the man behind the Manitowoc Minute talks about his new Billboard charting album and what makes Wisconsin a great source of comedy.
