  • Must See Madison: Your Guide to the New Greenbush

    Must See Madison: Your Guide to the New Greenbush
    Jul 16 2024
    Once called "Madison's Ellis Island," the Greenbush neighborhood used to be home to large populations of Italian, Jewish, and Black residents. But an urban revival plan in the mid-20th century decimated the neighborhood and displaced its communities. Now, the area is witnessing a revival. Spots like Leopold’s, Fabiola’s, and the Greenbush Bar are new staples of Madison’s Greenbush neighborhood, so for this special installment of Must See Madison, host Bianca Martin and executive producer Hayley Sperling talk to the owner of all three, Sam Brown, about the neighborhood’s past, present, and future.

  • Want To See Police Body Camera Footage? You’ll Have to Pay.

    Want To See Police Body Camera Footage? You’ll Have to Pay.
    Jul 15 2024
    For the first time in state history, Wisconsin has enacted a law that allows law enforcement agencies to charge public records requesters for the cost of redacting video or audio material, like body camera footage. The legislation has rattled local reporters, public officials, and police transparency advocates for its retaliatory nature and overall vague language. Executive producer Hayley Sperling sat down with Tone Madison publisher Scott Gordon to get the details — or lack thereof — on the story.

    Is Madison a Walking, Biking, or Driving City?
    Jul 8 2024
    Madison is consistently ranked as one of the nation’s top cities for bicyclists and pedestrians. In fact, Madison was recently named the 2nd safest city for pedestrians out of the largest 101 metropolitan areas across America. But none of that happened by accident, it’s taken years of planning and careful consideration to turn Madison’s streets into what we recognize today. And the city is already laying the groundwork for the future generation of infrastructure. City Cast Madison host Bianca Martin sat down with the city’s director of transportation Tom Lynch to get a look at what’s working and what needs improvement.
