A preview of the new season of a podcast from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Department of History and the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Last season looked at the 1918-1919 Influenza outbreak in Milwaukee, and asked what that history could teach us about navigating the coronavirus pandemic today. This season we look at Milwaukee's unique relationship with the waters that surround. The season takes its inspiration from the Milwaukee County Historical Society's new exhibit, "Milwaukee: Where the Waters Meet," which is on display until April 23, 2022.
