Recombobulating on the radio (Week of April 27-May 3)
Plus: Thank you to everyone who attended our Community Happy Hour!
The Recombobulation Area is a thirteen-time NINETEEN-TIME Milwaukee Press Club award-winning weekly opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. The Recombobulation Area is now part of Civic Media.
First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who came out and made our Community Happy Hour at Third Space Brewing such a joy! We’re so proud of the community we’re building and so grateful that you’re all a part of it.
Here are a few photos from the evening, over on our Instagram.
On to the weekly roundup…
First, my Friday segment with Greg Bach and Jane Matenaer on “Matenaer On Air” (9-11 a.m. every weekday!) now at 10 a.m. This week, we talked about cuts to AmeriCorps, a positive story about voter turnout in Milwaukee, and well, the Bucks (womp womp).
Watch / listen here.

On Tuesdays, I am now on two shows across the Civic Media network.
First, I’m on “Mornings with Pat Kreitlow,” the newly expanded morning show, every Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.
Listen to the first round of those appearances here, and tune in every week at that time going forward (Milwaukee friends, tune in on your drive time on 540 AM).

I’ll also be joining “The Maggie Daun Show” (4-6 p.m. every weekday!) every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. across the statewide Civic Media network (also 540 AM in Milwaukee, get that preset in your car, folks!).
