Lake Effect Weekend: How Churches Shaped Milwaukee, 'Disobedience,' Radio Chipstone, Ex Fabula

This weekend on Lake Effect:

Following the fire in a historic downtown church, we look at how these religious structures have shaped Milwaukee life for generations. Then, film critic Dave Luhrssen also looks at religion - in the new film Disobedience, a story of forbidden love in an orthodox Jewish community. Radio Chipstone tells the story of a library sciences student who decided to take a course in material culture, and we'll have the latest edition of our storytelling series Ex Fabula.

Guests:

  • Kevin Abing, Milwaukee County Historical Society; Teran Powell, WUWM
  • Dave Luhrssen, film contributor
  • Radio Chipstone
  • Leah DeLaney, Ex Fabula co-founder; Bruce Winter, WUWM
  • Marnie Mamminga, essayist
  • Mark Erelli, singer-songwriter
