The Recombobulation Area is a 19-time 21-TIME! Milwaukee Press Club award-winning opinion column and online publication founded by Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, polls will close in Wisconsin at 8 p.m. That’s right when you can tune in to find special Election Night coverage featuring your friends from the “Wisconsin Politics Group Chat”!
UpNorthNews presents LIVE ELECTION NIGHT COVERAGE with Pat Kreitlow, Kate Duffy of “Motherhood for Good,” Dr. Kristin Lyerly of “The Dr. Kristin Lyerly Show,” and Dan Shafer of The Recombobulation Area.
The “Wisconsin Politics Group Chat” podcast has been broadcasting new episodes weekly since June, featuring candid conversations and insights on state politics with commentary and analysis from four individuals with unique perspectives from all corners of the state.
The four of us will be there live in Milwaukee with election results, analysis, live interviews from David Crowley’s Election Night Party (!), and much more.
You’ll be able to find us on each of our YouTube channels (Dr. Kristin Lyerly, Motherhood for Good, The Recombobulation Area) and on UpNorthNews’ Facebook page. More specific livestreaming details will be available in the coming days.
“Are we live?” we often ask, at the beginning of each episode.
On Nov. 3 at 8 p.m.: Yes, we will be. We hope you’ll join us.
The increasingly popular “Wisconsin Politics Group Chat” podcast has been available right here on The Recombobulation Area’s podcast (Apple, Spotify) and YouTube channels. See the most recent episodes here.
