Today on Lake Effect, we examine why many home insurance policies don’t cover flood damage.

Plus, we explore the history of the historic LGBTQ bar This Is It, which closed this year.

Guests:

  • Philip Mulder, assistant professor of Risk & Insurance at the UW-Madison School of Business
  • Michail Takach, writer and author
