    Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman

    Acting Police Chief Jeffrey Norman’s sense of humor is delightful and disarming, but beneath the wit, he comes across self-assured, his opinions backed with careful deliberation. Norman holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from UW-Milwaukee, a Master of Public Administration from Kaplan University and a law degree from Marquette University Law School.

    Central City Stories: From Murderer to Motivator - The Fall and Rise of Ed Hennings Part 1

    Host Tom Jenz met Ed Hennings at his Hair Code Barber & Beauty Salon on Capital Drive. In his trim black beard, he comes across as a striking presence, tall, lean and potent with the buffed body of an athlete and a radio voice that threads a tale with sincerity. He is 48, but he looks 28. Join us later for Part 2, where Hennings talks about his new life after prison.

    Central City Stories: Frank Nitty's Journey to Washington DC

    Not long ago, I interviewed the controversial protest leader Frank Nitty at the South Side’s Wilson Park. A hundred people had gathered to celebrate Nitty’s return to Milwaukee with 25 followers after their long walk to Washington D.C. to honor the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous speech. The walk took close to 30 days and was fraught with drama. Although it was raining in Wilson Park, moods were filled of sunshine. When Nitty made his appearance, he was overwhelmed with hugs and good wishes, but he broke away to speak with me.
