Classical announcer Lori Skelton began working at Wisconsin Public Radio in 1993 and is the host of “Afternoon Classics” each weekday, and the producer and host of “Wisconsin Classical.” Skelton attended Beloit College, where she covered various airshifts at WBCR Radio, the campus radio station.
After graduation, Skelton planned to get her masters in conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but by chance discovered the studios of WUWM Radio and chose radio instead. Two years later, she began working at WFMR Radio. In addition to her work at WPR, Skelton sings in the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, enjoys learning about prairie restoration, biking, gardening and wine tasting. She is also a regular contributor to “Food Friday” segments on “Central Time.”
