Madison's 2025 Naughty and Nice List
We’re making a list and checking it twice, because it’s time for us to lay down the verdict of who was naughty and who was nice in 2025. Host Bianca Martin chats with WORT host, school board member, and friend of the show Ali Muldrow about how Madison was behaving this year. And who knows, maybe being naughty isn’t always a bad thing.
