Student Visas Restored, BRT Charges Forward, and Henry Vilas Unveils an Adorable Secret

It’s Friday, which means the City Cast Madison team is back together to round up the news of the week. Host Bianca Martin talks about the latest twists and turns in the case of 27 UW-Madison students who had their international student visas suddenly suspended – and then just as suddenly reinstated. Executive Producer Hayley Sperling explains why the city sounds more optimistic about the future of a north-south BRT line. And Newsletter Editor Rob Thomas has a warm ‘n’ fuzzy story on how a kids’ show puppet was inspired by a real-life Madison hero! Plus, we love baby otters!
