Hello Kamala, Angry Badgers Fans, and Meet Madison's Newest Park
The City Cast Madison team is here to round up the news of the week and it’s been a big one! Host Bianca Martin, executive producer Hayley Sperling, and Madison Minutes newsletter editor Rob Thomas recap how long lines at Camp Randall led to some angry sports fans and why two local nonprofits are suddenly making headlines for the wrong reasons. Plus, the city has officially opened a new park, and if that wasn’t enough, Vice President Kamala Harris is in town today stumping for her presidential campaign.
