WMSE has announced two new programs this month, a history show called What Made Milwaukee Famous hosted by Shepherd Express contributor Matthew Prigge, who writes a column of the same name, and a weekly series about drummers called Trap Set With Joe Wong.
What Made Milwaukee Famous is already airing in short two- or three-minute segments Mondays through Fridays at 7:40 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. Trap Set, meanwhile, will debut on Tuesday, May 26 at noon with an episode featuring Violent Femmes drummer Victor DeLorrenzo. Host Joe Wong is an esteemed Milwaukee musician and composer, so the show will touch on music, but the station is also positioning it as a human-interest show. "It is a springboard for larger discussions about life," promotions director Sid McCain wrote in a press release.
