This is NOT that; Episode #7: Get It Together

A lot has happened in the couple of weeks since our last show. One of our hosts JoAnna went on vacation to New Orleans, and left in time for the storms which downed 600+ tree’s in Milwaukee and knocked out power to thousands across Milwaukee County. Now that she’s back New Orleans is bracing for a hurricane. It’s also been one year since the shooting of Jacob Blake, and everyone’s still processing that. America is getting out of Afghanistan…kinda, evictions are going to climb, and politicians remain politicians. A lot is happening indeed.
