We kick off season two of "Be Seen" with a profile of Bobby Rivers, a national television host, entertainer, interviewer and actor who began his career in Milwaukee and eventually landed in New York City hosting his own show on VH1.

From starting his career in the 1970s interviewing Bette Davis at WQFM to eventually sitting down on national television with celebrities like Paul McCartney, Meryl Streep and many more, Rivers has had an incredible career, both in Milwaukee and beyond.

In this episode, Rivers reflects candidly on the good and bad times he experienced in Milwaukee, including the racism and homophobia that caused him to leave, and how he would often work coded messages into his broadcasts as an open nod to the LGBTQ+ community.
