"Behind the Scenes at a Public Radio Talk Show" Calling on more than 20 years in radio, Mitch provides insights into how a public radio talk show comes together, discusses some of the more interesting interviews and stories he's covered, and shares his one corner of radio history, from the days of DX-ing (listening to far-away AM radio stations), to the realities of small-town radio, to producing compelling feature stories and interviews. Mitch Teich has been Executive Producer of "Lake Effect" at WUWM Milwaukee Public Radio since the show's inception in 2006. As co-host of the program, he's conducted thousands of interviews with local and national newsmakers, authors, scientists, musicians, and other noteworthy people. His feature stories have been heard on national programs such as "NPR's Morning Edition," "All Things Considered," and "Only a Game."
