Summary

Madison’s first Halal Restaurant Week starts Friday, and eight local restaurants are adapting their menus to be more inclusive of Muslim diners. Executive producer Hayley Sperling breaks down the offerings with host Bianca Martin and local comedian Emily Winter.  Plus, Wisconsin is projected to have a budget surplus of about three billion dollars. The team imagines what they would do with those excess funds. And finally, why did WalletHub rank Madison the 11th best city to retire in? Hint, it’s not the cost of living! 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email [email protected].
