Episode notes

In this episode of 50 States in the Rearview, Ike and I roll into America's Dairyland to explore Madison, Wisconsin. Ditching the truck for a walking tour of the unique, lake-bound isthmus, we dive into the rough-and-tumble history of the "Badger State" miners to trailblazing civil rights icons. We explore a city where the massive Capitol dome isn't just a seat of government—it's completely woven into the everyday community. Grab a Culver's burger or some local ice cream, and join us to find out how the fierce, educated, and progressive spirit of the people keeps this totally alive city moving forward
