Nearly every Wednesday at noon, WMSE’s Ryan Schleicher, Shepherd Express’ Evan Rytlewski, and A.V. Club Milwaukee’s Matt Wild take to the WMSE airwaves to discuss all things Milwaukee. The half-hour fun-fest is called The Disclaimer, so titled because none of the sometimes-cranky and ridiculous opinions expressed during the show represent those of the three hosts’ employers.
This week on The Disclaimer, Ryan, Evan, and Matt discuss Milwaukee’s (surprising?) inclusion in a list of the best American cities for art. Mary Louise Schumacher’s terrific year-end “state-of-the-Milwaukee-art-scene” piece for the Journal Sentinel is also discussed, followed by some spirited banter about a recent study suggesting reading online comments can be harmful to your understanding of the news. Per usual, the half-hour is rounded out with talk about Leonard Cohen, John The Savage, Ed Asner, and Matt’s awful winter beard.
