ICYMI: Recombobulating on the radio (Early May edition)
Featuring appearances on 620 WTMJ, Civic Media and more.
The Recombobulation Area is a thirteen-time Milwaukee Press Club award-winning weekly opinion column and online publication written, edited and published by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. Learn more about it here.
Here at The Recombobulation Area, we’ve been doing more and more radio these days, so I wanted to make sure our subscribers are hearing and seeing these appearances each week.
This post will cover appearances for the last week and half, including appearances on the “Political Power Hour” with Steve Scaffidi and “Matenaer On Air” with Jane Matenaer and Greg Bach.
I also joined Scaffidi’s “Decision Wisconsin” podcast, which published yesterday. You can listen to that episode in full here on 620 WTMJ or on your favorite podcast app (or embedded below).
On this episode, we talked about the campus protests over the conflict in Gaza, looked ahead to the RNC, talked about state legislative races, and even talked about my own path to writing about politics in Wisconsin and starting The Recombobulation Area.
I also joined Scaffidi today on the “Political Power Hour” to talk about protests and the war in Gaza, President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to Racine for a big announcement with Microsoft (in contrast to the failed effort for Foxconn under Donald Trump and Scott Walker), and Democrats running in every race in the Wisconsin State Senate. Listen here on 620 WTMJ or on your favorite podcast app (embedded below) or watch on YouTube. My segment begins at the midway point of the episode.
And since we didn’t have it posted last week, here’s our April 30 appearance on the “Political Power Hour,” covering how we cover good economic news (in a partisan lens), the latest with the Stadium Freeway, and more. My segment starts at the halfway point, and you can hear and see me every week on the show on Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m.
On Fridays, you can always hear and see me on “Matenaer On Air” across the Civic Media network at 10:30 a.m.
Here’s the most recent episode.
