As you may have heard on the radio, The Takeaway is ending its production. This creates an exciting opportunity for the station to include you in our decision to choose the next program that will air weekdays at 9 a.m. on WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR.
On Monday, June 5, WUWM will launch its Summer Sampler. This will run for nine weeks featuring three different shows. Here’s what you’ll hear:
On Point

Think
Airs June 26 – July 14
Think is a national, talk radio program, hosted by acclaimed journalist Krys Boyd and produced by KERA — North Texas’ PBS and NPR member station. Each week, listeners across the country tune in to the program to hear thought-provoking, in-depth conversations with newsmakers from across the globe.
