46 | Could Milwaukee host the Olympics? Here's why they should consider it, with Jay Sorgi
With the 2024 Summer Olympic Games underway, we're here to talk about the Olympics – and Milwaukee. As in, could Milwaukee host an Olympic Games? Even if it could. why? What’s in it for the city and the greater region? Answers exist in a fascinating book called <i>Greater Than The Games, Volume 1: MKE2028</i>, created by broadcaster Jay Sorgi. He began researching the topic out of curiosity. Unearthing more information led to the belief that Milwaukee could not only host the Olympic Games, but the additional investments to fully prepare for such an endeavor - given the right planning and execution – could drive positive, transformative change for Milwaukee and the entire region. Far-fetched, you say? It’s not. In <i>Greater Than The Games, Volume 1: MKE2028</i>, Jay lays out how Olympic bids work; how some cities used it to propel themselves to the next level while others were left with debt and white elephants; the remarkable wealth of venues, facilities, and resources within reasonable distance of Milwaukee already, and how additional investments for venues, housing, transportation and more can be properly repurposed after the Games to bring the city and region to the next level for the future. Listen to this conversation, read the book, and watch the Olympics; you might find inspiration not just for Milwaukee, but for yourself.<br />You can find the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Greater-Than-Games-Vol-MKE2028/dp/B0C9SBVLL9

44 | Kathy Mattea on country music, tech, and losing - then regaining - her singing voice
Country music star Kathy Mattea broke out in 1986; she has seen and experienced many changes in the music industry since as she continues to tour. We spoke with her about the community spirit for artists, how you can now cut and distribute a hit record using your phone, her experiences in the Midwest (including her bus getting boarded by Oprah's show) and how she lost her voice for a time and was able to regain it - with a little help from Tony Bennett and some coaches. Our conversation precedes a particular concert date in a high school auditorium in Wisconsin - weeks before she woulf perform at the Grand Ole Opry. We were interviewing her on WLKG-FM's Good Morning Show from Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and here is the full conversation.
