This week on the Friday news roundup, we’re talking about workplace misconduct, political protests, and one of Madison’s favorite pastimes — naming our city’s heavy machinery. Wisconsin State Journal reporter Lucas Robinson joins the conversation to talk about his reporting on an investigation into the job performance of the Dane County Regional Airport’s retiring director. Host Bianca Martin has an update on the fraud investigation happening at Goodman Community Center; and executive producer Hayley Sperling gives context to this week’s political protest at the Capitol. Plus, it’s time to vote for your favorite snow plow names!

Mentioned on the show:
