Today on Lake Effect, we explore why a Milwaukee County transportation service for people with disabilities ended last month. Then, we learn about Present Music’s upcoming performance, which explores antisemitism and hate campaigns. We break down what makes a bad movie – good and look at the cultural significance of trashy films. Plus, we dig into the history of Milwaukee’s Jones Island.

- Donna Brown-Martin, Milwaukee County Director of Transportation; Graham Kilmer, Urban Milwaukee reporter; Kevin Meyers, on-demand transit advocate
- Yaniv Dinur, conductor of “Die Stadt Ohne Juden” or “The City Without Jews” for Present Music
