We are honored to have Dr. Patty Loew as our guest today!  Dr. Loew was recently inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, and it’s easy to see why!  She has truly done it all…radio broadcasting, local TV news (at our old station!), and Wisconsin Public Television.  She’s authored numerous books about Native Nations and created documentaries including Way of the Warrior.  Dr. Loew has taught journalism students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University.  She was also the inaugural director at the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research at Northwestern University.  This is a conversation that is not to be missed!
