Monday on Lake Effect: Climate Change, Regional Cuisine, Bats, Playwriting Lesson

Monday on Lake Effect:

As the UN climate talks get underway in Paris, a Wisconsin scientist says more than just global policy is needed to affect climate change. Then, stories of regional cuisine and the culture that created it – from Sheboygan bratwurst to rat stew in West Virginia. Later, we don’t eat bats, but they do contribute to the foods we do eat. And playwright and essayist Alvaro Saar Rios says there are some stories that aren’t yours to tell.
