Friday on Lake Effect: Former Hutterites, Milwaukee Sports Agent, Barry Manilow

Friday on Lake Effect:

The remarkable story of nine people who grew up in the United States and Canada, but only recently truly joined the modern world. The nine are former members of a tight-knit religious sect who left their former colonies and have relocated to Wisconsin. Later, we’ll learn about the Milwaukee man who is raising the profile of many athletes, both in Wisconsin and nationally. And a conversation with Barry Manilow, before his stop in Milwaukee in what he says is his last concert tour ever.

Guests:

  • Sheryl Waldner and Rodney Waldner, former Hutterites, The Nine
  • Doug Russell, freelance writer
  • Barry Manilow, he writes the songs​
