Friday on Lake Effect: Lead Contamination, Trevor Noah, Bubbler Talk, 'Fiddler on the Roof' History

Friday on Lake Effect:

Marc Edwards has ruffled a lot of feathers in his work on behalf of Flint’s drinking water. After an astonishing announcement from Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, instructing residents of older homes to install water filters, Edwards discusses the issue of lead contamination. Then, we turn to someone with another challenging job: Trevor Noah. He looks back on his first year hosting “The Daily Show” and talks about his career in stand-up. Plus, we bring you the latest episode of Bubbler Talk and talk about the many traditions that led to a musical tradition, the story of Fiddler on the Roof.

Guests:

  • Marc Edwards, Virginia Tech University; Susan Bence, WUWM environmental reporter
  • Trevor Noah, comedian and host of “The Daily Show”
  • Bubbler Talk, series
