Monday on Lake Effect: Social Media and Elections, Solar Power and Peck School of the Arts

Monday on Lake Effect:

Social media is increasingly where people turn to find news, and to try to affect change. So what does that mean for politicians trying to get elected? We analyze the role of social media in the current election cycle. Later, we discuss what the future of solar power may look like in Wisconsin. Plus, the dean of the Peck School of the Arts explains the school’s expanding mission and we hear some music from a Peck alum. And writer Rebecca Sherm was a big fan of caper stories growing up, but they only partly informed her new novel, Unbecoming. She joins us to talk about the book.

Guests: 

  • Crystal Patterson, Facebook
  • Matt Neumann, builder and developer
  • Scott Emmons, Peck School of the Arts
  • Nick Brightwell, musician
  • Rebecca Scherm, author
