Lafayette Crump, Milwaukee’s Commissioner of City Development, joined the Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow podcast to share a vision for the city that blends urbanist policy with a deep-rooted cultural heartbeat. Growing up on 27th and Burleigh, Crump’s early memories of Milwaukee are intertwined with the "cassette era" of radio, where he honed his musical ear by recording tracks like "Planet Rock" straight from the airwaves. Today, he translates that same passion into his professional work, advocating for a city of one […]

I sat down with artist Buddy Red, though he’ll tell you himself that the title “artist” only scratches the surface. We dug into his single “Sold His Soul,” a track sparked by a powerful conversation with his brother that lit a fire in him to speak boldly about the music industry, authenticity and his own creative identity.
