Wednesday on Lake Effect: Milwaukee Mag's New Editor-in-Chief, Lisa Lampanelli, and 'Reborn'

Wednesday on Lake Effect:

Education writer Paul Tough studies how some teachers impart lessons on grit and character, and learns the ones who do it the best, talk about it the least. Then, the new editor of Milwaukee Magazine gets in-depth about her new city. Later, comedian Lisa Lampanelli is known as “The Queen of Mean” but that’s just part of her on-stage persona. And what makes a 130-year old lighthouse remain so interesting.

Guests:

  • Paul Tough, education writer
  • Carole Nicksin, Milwaukee Magazine
  • Lisa Lampanelli, comedian
  • May Klisch, Mark Kuehn, and John Scripp, ‘Reborn’; Susan Bence, WUWM environmental reporter
