Thursday 12/15/22: justice system treatment of kids, Wagyu beef, local authors, Carvd N Stone

Today on Lake Effect, we examine how the Wisconsin Justice System treats juveniles and how their rights differ from adults. We tell you about a special kind of Japanese beef that’s being raised right here in Wisconsin. We speak with two local authors who teamed up to write a whimsical murder mystery series. Plus, tell you about a local news outlet that focuses on positive stories and offers scholarships.

Guests:

  • Amanda Merkwae, advocacy director of the ACLU of Wisconsin
  • Darren Kittleson, founder of Generations Beef
  • Sharon Nagel & Jocelyn Koehler, co-authors of Shady Hollow book series
  • Nyesha Stone, founder of Carvd N Stone
