With the midterm elections now in our rear view mirror, we’ve been taking some time to do some different things, and recombobulate and reflect on all the work we’ve done in 2022.

There’s been a lot! And a lot of campaigns and elections, especially, from the Milwaukee mayor’s race early in the year to the August partisan primaries to the general election this fall. 

But looking back, somehow we’ve gone this whole year without a single Reader Mailbag! How is this possible?!?

Well, it’s time to change that. We always want to be hearing from you, our readers, because as a reader-funded publication, you are the ones making The Recombobulation Area possible. 

So, whether you have lingering questions about the elections or there’s a story you wanted to ask about that may have fallen through the cracks during all of this campaigning, or you want to ask about the Bucks or the year’s best TV shows or something weird happening in Milwaukee or even something unrelated to anything we’ve ever written about, we’re going to be here with answers. 

Send in your questions, by…

We can’t wait to hear from you!

ONE OTHER THING:

You guys just keep sending us photos whenever you go through security at Milwaukee’s airport, and we just have to say…we absolutely love this.

The Recombobulation Area is a reader-funded publication.

That means your subscription goes a long way to support the work that we do around here. While we have grown The Recombobulation Area this year through partnerships and events, the majority of the work that we do is funded by you, our readers. We’re pretty proud of that. We are not part of a corporate chain or funded by dark money or some other nefarious nonsense. We are an independent media outlet making this work one piece at a time. The best way to help support what we’re doing is to subscribe.

…and if you already subscribe, now is a great time to give a gift subscription!

We are also now also offering group subscriptions! Yes, this is a new thing!

If you subscribe with a group of four or more people, you can get the subscription for 30% off.
