From hurricanes to lotto winners, it’s been a week full of news. Host Bianca Martin catches up with executive producer Hayley Sperling and Madison Minutes newsletter editor Rob Thomas to recap some top stories. This week, the team looks at the Madisonians stepping up to help with Hurricane Helene relief efforts, the city’s spat with a Wisconsin congressman over a ballot error, and two UW-Madison graduate students are facing disciplinary actions for their alleged roles in the pro-Palestinian encampment that popped up on campus in the spring. Plus, is this one Kwik Trip especially lucky? 🍀
