I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Wisconsin is America’s Dairyland, so you can bet Madison knows a thing or two about ice cream. But with such an abundance of flavors to choose from, whose cream reigns supreme? The whole City Cast Madison crew is on a mission to find out. Listen in as we eat our way through Madison’s best ice cream. You’ll never guess who our favorite is.

🍦 You know what else is sweet? Victory. We’re in the running for Madison Magazine’s 2025 Best of Madison competition and would love your support. Vote for City Cast Madison in the Best Local Podcast and Local News Website categories.
