Welcome into a sacred place... a second time!  The Wednesday Writers’ Group of Woodland Pattern Book Center, Inc. allows us to hear poets take turns reading their artful writing, read aloud in a Zoom meeting.  This is how one group of creative people in Riverwest made their way through the pandemic, sharing their words and sharing their hearts. Thank you to Janine Arseneau for coordinating this!

OWL (Older.Wiser.Local) Woodland Pattern’s Wednesday-Writers Return! - 2021-07-29

We Heard We're Funny: Count Your Dogs (Funnier at Home Part 69) 07-28-21

Dr. Kate Kurico set out with her children on a journey while hiding a teddy bear with their life savings of $1050.00 hidden inside. Only in America is where an individual who may have saved the world is overshadowed by people who can’t get out of their own way. Maybe if she was a man? Or the right color man? It would be different. Here’s to the true heroes! They are the people who keep it going and just do what has to be done, no matter what is happening around them.

Stone Soup: A Miracle - 2021-08-03

Trevi returns to YRU radio today to provide an update on the BGW cooperative housing venture in Milwaukee. This time she brings her Co-op crew with her Annia and Jordan. 

After securing housing, the trybe talk about next steps for their particular housing project and what it may mean for the surrounding community. 

Jordan, Annia, and Trevi all believe that housing is at the root cause to all of our problems we face today. There is plenty of action we as a people need to take to face these problems and overcome them together. 

Click the link below to take part in the Trybe's upcoming clean up/housewarming party, and follow each of them on social media to learn more about what we can do from a grassroots level to a policy wide level.

We Heard We're Funny: Keep Your Cats Cleaner (Funnier at Home Part 70)

All that jazz – ever more to listen to, love, and learn of! 

 

Kevin Lynch returns in this episode to share his jazz journalist sensibilities and anecdotes.   

This time, we turn to Stan Getz, the saxophonist known as ‘The Sound’ and famous for bringing bossa nova and smooth jazz to our musical history. 

We are led into and beyond the Girl from Ipanema to the legacy of a brilliant, troubled artist. 

 

Check out Kevin’s most recent writing on Getz below, as well as the recordings referenced.

We're back in the stu!! Well, some of us... Anjail said she was in talks with a "good" radio show? Mikal gifts Katie Ziploc Couture, then cheats her out of a penny. Katie speeds to the bank proving to herself she'd win the Amazing Race.
