Bonus Episode: Was the Mafia involved in Wisconsin's earliest gay bars‪?‬ Be Seen

    • History

On this bonus episode of "Be Seen," hosts Nate Imig and Michail Takach address the often repeated rumor that the Mafia was involved in financing Wisconsin's earliest gay bars. In an exclusive interview with historian Gavin Schmitt, author of "Milwaukee Mafia (Images of America)" we arrive at a definitive "not really" in terms of the Mafia's involvement, but that answer is not without exceptions.

Be Seen is hosted by: Nate Imig (nate@radiomilwaukee.org) and Michail Takach.
