We bring you a sneak peek of WUWM's new podcast Swing State of the Union. We learn about future plans for the large rotating powwow exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum as it moves locations. Plus, in the return of Bubbler Talk we learn what happens when an animal at the Milwaukee County Zoo dies.
