Thursday on Lake Effect: Reporting in D.C., Accessing Reproductive Health Care, Bay View Jazz Fest

Thursday on Lake Effect

NPR’s Scott Detrow talks about reporting in D.C. and responding to the news cycle in the Trump era. Later, a proposal in the American Health Care Act would disallow the use of Medicaid dollars at Planned Parenthood clinics. The move could leave thousands of Milwaukeeans in the lurch. And the folks who organized the 4th Bay View Jazz Festival hope to dispel some misconceptions about the style of music.

Guests:

  • Scott Detrow, congressional reporter and co-host of the NPR Politics Podcast
  • Naomi Waxman, Public Policy Forum Reporting Fellow, Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service
  • Mitch Shiner, drummer; Tommy Antonic and Neil Davis, guitarists; Jamie Breiwick, trumpeter
