The "other" public radio station in Milwaukee…read more I say "other," but honestly, it's just as good as WUWM. When the mood strikes me for more Wisconsin-based broadcasting (such as during the recent midterm elections) I'll turn the dial up a few notches to 90.7. They've got a decent run-through of the nationally syndicated shows (although I think WUWM's got a slightly better spattering) but the real draw here is the Kathleen Dunn Show. This woman is entrancing. Listening to her interview guests is like listening to my school-marm-ey aunt from Green Bay tell a story. The topic might not be particularly engrossing, the dialogue might not always be something particularly interesting, but there's just a certain "je ne sais quoi" that keeps me tuned in. Seriously, the amount of times I've sat in front of my house with the car on to allow Ms. Dunn's segment to finish is embarrassing. There's something about her voice or the way that she interacts with her guests that typifies "Wisconsin" to me, and that makes her an excellent face (well, voice) to represent Wisconsin Public Radio.

Most Ideas Network programs come from the main studios in Madison, but much comes from other sources nation & world wide. (It's not just an outlet for mainly NPR as is the case with much of WUWM.) WPR has an illustrious 100 year history that tracks their development from an experimental broadcast radio station of the Univ. of Wisc. Physics Dept. through Educational & Instructional Radio for in school use and serving rural populations to it's present incarnation as one of the leading Pubic Radio operations in the nation. It's good listening regardless of which service you tune in, any time, day or night.

There are two main public radio stations in the Milwaukee area: WUWM (Milwaukee Public Radio) and…read moreWHAD (Wisconsin Public Radio). WHAD seems to have a much larger variety of Wisconsin-centric programming, but I prefer WUWM's lineup. I'm addicted to it, really. The majority of their programming is made up of the nationally-syndicated shows (All Things Considered, etc), but the locally-produced programs like Lake Effect are excellent. Perhaps I'm choosing not to notice a slant, but it seems like it's a rare feat for a talk radio station to be anything other than a constant stream of opinions. Consider this the panacea for Mark Belling-/Sly Sylvester-induced nausea, depending on your political stance. Can a positive Yelp review be a substitute for a monetary donation to WUWM? I hope so. Then maybe I won't feel so guilty when they do fund drives.....

I have a whole grains cookbook somewhere in my kitchen for giving them money every month. There are two decals on my car, one is for WPR. But a few month ago, it must have been during a repeat of Prairie Home Companion, I decided to scan the radio in my car--something I have not done in a very long time. And I found WUWM, and I love it. I love the local shows and I love the national shows. It's not that I love WPR any less, and if there were some magical way to listen to two radio channels at the same time, I'd be good to go! Maybe once this honeymoon stage is over, I'll turn the dial up a MHz, but until then, I'm totally diggin' WUWM.
