We look at the state of the election, with about a week of voting remaining. Then we discuss changes to Church spaces in Milwaukee and learn about an effort to support survivors of clergy abuse. And co-chairs of a haunted house talk about how they’ve kept the terror going for half a century.

    With about a week left to vote in the general election, we check in with a former government affairs professor and state legislator from Milwaukee about campaign ad vulgarity, late endorsements, and non-endorsements.

    We talk with a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter about how the physical spaces of the Catholic church in Milwaukee are changing. Then we learn about a Milwaukee-based organization aimed at supporting survivors of clergy abuse that has a new program bringing non-offending priests and survivors together for transformative conversations.
