Episode 139: Fall shows with Kevin Mueller

After yet another long, fun, and exhausting summer of
entertainment in Milwaukee, fall has come. Historically, autumn's
arrival has been a time in which things slow down in the city, as
residents retreat inside and prepare from another harsh and
uneventful winter. However, recent years have brought an uptick
in post-summer events, including new festivals like Beet Street,
Abby Jeanne's Cosmic Weekend, and Fuel Cafe's Doomsday event.
That's not even counting the countless concerts, comedy shows,
film screenings, and random one-off events taking place between
now and late December.


To help find the best, weirdest, and most interesting events
taking place in Milwaukee this fall, host Tyler Maas enlisted the
expertise of Milwaukee Magazine and Shepherd Express music writer
Kevin Mueller. From his dining room, Mueller and Maas ran through
some standout shows, talked about the handful of autumn festivals
happening in the city, weighed the appeal of Napoleon Dynamite
and Jake "The Snake" Roberts live shows, and talked about the odd
pairing of punk rock and craft beer at Burnhearts' annual Punk
House Kegger.
