Recombobulating on the radio (Week of Sept. 28-Oct.4)
Featuring appearances on "Matenaer On Air," "The Maggie Daun Show" and more.
The Recombobulation Area is a 19-time Milwaukee Press Club award-winning opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. The Recombobulation Area is now part of Civic Media.
Happy Friday, recombobulautors! We’ve reached the end of another week.
Before we get to the roundup, a reminder that you can hear a quick take from me on the Civic Media airwaves (and here online) each week with “The Recombobulation Minute.” My latest is on increased ICE activity in Wisconsin, especially concerning after the massive immigration raid this week in Chicago that saw reports of armed federal agents breaking down doors, U.S. citizens detained for hours on end, and children being dragged from their homes in the middle of the night.
Listen to my take here, and read this piece from the Chicago Sun-Times on what happened this week here. What is happening now is so incredibly concerning.

On to the roundup…
On Friday afternoon, I joined “The Maggie Daun Show” to talk about the latest additions to the Wisconsin governor’s race and how the Democratic field is shaping up and how each candidate might be distinguishing themselves. Listen here.
Also on Friday — as I do every Friday — I joined “Matenaer On Air” to recombobulate on the news of the week. Listen to that one here.
On Tuesday, I joined Pat Kreitlow for “Mornings with Pat Kreitlow” to talk about former WEDC CEO Missy Hughes running for governor, the Brewers upcoming playoff run, and more.
Have a great weekend, folks! We’ll see you soon for another discombobulating week.
