10 Years of Tone Madison: Arts, Politics, and Hot Takes
Ten years ago, Scott Gordon started a podcast to tell stories about Madison’s arts and culture scenes that no other local outlets were talking about. While it’s not a podcast anymore, these days you’ll find his stories and more on Tone Madison. This year, the local publication is celebrating a decade of storytelling. To reflect on the past 10 years and beyond, Scott joins City Cast Madison Host Bianca Martin and Executive Producer Hayley Sperling.
Celebrate with Tone Madison this week at their 10 year anniversary part at Gamma Ray Bar.
