There’s a lot to love about Madison. We’re the Midwest’s less-and-less kept secret, a rapidly growing tech hub with appetites as diverse as cheese curds and James Beard-award-winning charcuterie. Every day, you’ll hear from the team highlighting what makes this beautiful, complex city we call home just a little bit better (curds included). Get in touch with us at madison@citycast.fm.
Meet the Team
A Madison hidden gem:
Giddings Park. It's near Tenney Park but often much less crowded and has some of the best sunsets in town.
Where I'd take you to eat:
Mint Mark, and one of everything!
A Madison hidden gem:
Period Garden Park, the small city-owned, volunteer-ran Victorian-era garden at the corner of Gorham and Pinckney just blocks from the state capitol.
Madisonian you should know:
Judy Greenspan - she ran for the Madison School Board in 1973 and is thought to be the first out lesbian to run for elected office in the US.

Senior Account Executive
Madison hidden gem:
Downtown Main Street. Kinda ironic to say that not a lot of people know about a city's literal Main St. but within this industrial/business area, lots of things are popping up: speakeasies, breweries, distilleries, event spaces, hotels, etc.
Something we do better in Madison than anywhere else:
Breakfast foods. There's great brunch spots all over and while I won't claim we have the best bagels, we do have some pretty great dough wranglers! (That's what they call bagel makers, right?)
Something we do better in Madison than anywhere else:
Walkable neighborhoods with a park on every block and a plentitude of good bars, coffee shops and restaurants (and you're probably 2 minutes away from a lake, wherever you are).
Madisonian you should know:
Martin Foys and Jen Plants are UW-Madison professors whose hospitality and craft cocktails are both unmatched. If you've experienced The Gin Pennant, you know.
