Rob Chappell, Stephanie Diaz de Leon and Omar Waheed dig into a busy week in Madison policing: Chief John Patterson's new "service excellence and outreach" division, the Madison Community Foundation grant putting body-worn cameras on every officer next year, and the city's ongoing refusal to release police video. Omar recaps the Isthmus panel on AI and journalism and shares Aaron Perry's plan to take his barbershop health clinics on a 200-shop tour through the stroke and diabetes belt. Then mayoral candidate April Kigeya joins to talk housing, transportation, mental health, policing, and why she thinks Madison needs a new leader.

Today's episode is sponsored by Wisconsin Chamber Orchesta and its upcoming performance, Transcendence.

This week, after a roundup of the week's news, we talk through the controversial appointment of Sean Eichorst has the University of Wisconsin's next athletic director, which happened without interviewing a single Black candidate -- including the guy doing the job now. Then, in a special 608 Soccer Show crossover, we welcome Rally Madison technical director Liz Lawrence and assistant coach Tenzin Rampa to look back on the team's inaugural season and ahead to the future of women's soccer. Finally, we wrap up with the weekly roundtable question: what's the one conspiracy theory you want to believe? We consider World Cup fixes, haunted mountain ranges, Stevie Wonder's visual acuity, subterranean biomes, the realness of birds and more.
