We all need a good laugh these days, and guess who’s got the perfect entertainment? It’s none other than Civic Media’s own Pete Schwaba!

From his hilarious beginnings in comedy to his role as the host of “Nite Lite”, Pete’s career is a testament to talent, hard work, and the beauty of community. Want to see for yourself? Check out “The Godfather of Green Bay,” a movie that has all the ingredients of a beloved hometown cult classic. Dust off your Macarena moves and get ready for Marinette’s own, Pete Schwaba!

We’re also featuring music by the artists who took home the 2025 WAMI for pop album of the year: “7000apart”. A duo comprised of Green Bay Preble High School alumni, former Swedish exchange student Amelie Eiding and hometowner Jonathan Kresin, the music of 7000apart entertains, uplifts, and helps to destigmatize mental health struggles that many of us are experiencing. They’re touring all over Northeast Wisconsin this summer - be sure to check them out!
