Monday on Lake Effect: Milwaukee County homelessness, Wisconsin financial aid, Earth Week, Bubbler Talk

Today on Lake Effect, we learn why Milwaukee County has the lowest unsheltered homeless population in the nation. Then, fewer Wisconsin grads are going to college, we look at a new report that explores how financial aid programs may be part of the problem. Our Earth Week series looks at the impact of buying local food on climate change and Bubbler Talk recalls the legacy of Oriental Drugs in Milwaukee. Plus, a look at the history of Pong.

Guests:

  • Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley
  • Jason Stein, research director at Wisconsin Policy Forum
  • Meg Kilkenny & Danielle Nabak, healthy community coordinators at UW-Extension
  • Bubbler Talk
  • Michael Newman, English professor at UW-Milwaukee
