Episode Description from the Publisher

Data centers have become a hot-button issue across the state. Newly released public documents show that Alliant Energy has received proposals for at least 12 centers in its service area. Host Bianca Martin chats with executive producer Hayley Sperling and contributor Emily Winter about the secrecy surrounding data centers and why a majority of Wisconsinites disapprove of them. Plus, Vegan Sausage Fest is returning to Madison, and the Madison Public Market has announced a grand opening date! 🎵 P.S. Listener Wendy wrote in with a kind note about our Smart Studios episode. Her dad’s band Unchained Mynds’ hit song can be heard on Youtube. 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode? Leave us a voicemail at 608-318-3367 or email madison@citycast.fm.
