Things We Wish Someone Told Us About Living in Madison

If you’re new to Madison, welcome! We don’t have a cup of sugar for ya, but we do have some advice for living in Madtown that we’ve gleaned over the years. Some hot tips and general life hacks we think you’ll appreciate.

Some of us grew up here and some of us moved here, but there’s always those things about a city that you just find out the hard way. Some things take time to discover. We’re here to cut right to the chase and help you live better and more enjoyable lives in our fair city. 

We brought the entire City Cast Madison team in for this one: host Bianca Martin, producers Molly Stentz and Dylan Brogan, and Madison Minutes editor Hayley Sperling.

Do you agree with us? Or do you wanna fight us? Did we hold back? We can take it. Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email madison@citycast.fm. You can also find us on Instagram.
