Gertie and her ducklings help you prepare for what to expect on Election Day. 🦆
“We’re very excited to be embarking on a project like this one. Our hosts Joy [Powers] and Sam [Woods] are covering everything from what makes Wisconsin valuable in federal elections, to voter disenfranchisement, money in politics, political polarization, and more. Our team has learned a lot already and we can’t wait to share it with the public,” says Becky Mortensen, WUWM’s executive producer of “Lake Effect” and editor of Swing State of the Union.
NIGHT MOVES: Live at Lake Effect
Fourth Live at Lake Effect Episode ft. Night Moves, the Indie-psychedelic rock band hailing from Minneapolis.

Even though the group is based out of Minneapolis, the band has UW-Milwaukee roots. Pelant went to college at UWM, and he recalls during his time living off of Downer Ave. in his sophomore year everything was stolen from his house — including his old Windows computer. So, he replaced it with a MacBook and "Once I got Garageband I could layer everything that was in my head. So that was kind of a game changer, so the band sort of started here in Milwaukee, actually."
“Live at Lake Effect” is produced by @trapperschoepp + @audreylnow for @WUWMRadio :radio:. Video by @the_visionarystudios and location by @lakeeffectsurfshop 🏄♂️
