Wednesday on Lake Effect: Men4Men End the Demand, 'My Trip Abroad,' Confronting Family Histories

Wednesday on Lake Effect

A local campaign seeks to curb the demand for prostitution by engaging men in conversations about the realities of sex trafficking. Later, a Milwaukee man publishes the remarkable travel journal his father kept on the trip of a lifetime: two months in Europe in 1936. And two authors discuss meeting one another in a writing group, and discovering their grandparents were on opposing sides of World War II.

Guests:

  • Andrea Waxman, reporter, Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service; James Nelson, volunteer, Men4Men End the Demand
  • Kurt Chandler, editor, My Trip Abroad: Europe in 1936; Frank Daily, son of the author
  • Rachel Kadish, author, The Weight of Ink; Jessica Shattuck, author, The Women in the Castle
