The thing about body cameras. Plus, Mayoral candidate Brian Benford (opens the original)
Read excerpt
State Rep Shelia Stubbs is advocating legislation to require body-worn cameras in all police departments. Will that actually increase transparency? We are skeptical. On the show today, Rob and Omar dig into that, including specific reasons for skepticism. Then, we touch on a new effort to unionize yet another group of nurses, and Omar recaps his visit to the Milwaukee Black Historical Society's exhibit on racist memorobilia. Finally, former Alder Brian Benford stops by the studio to discuss his
Madison's transparency problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, the 365 Amplified crew breaks down a suddenly crowded Madison mayoral race — Syed Abbas, Brian Benford, and Kaleem Caire all jumping in against incumbent Satya Rhodes-Conway.

The crew breaks down a chaotic primary election night and what the results mean. Then, a disturbing story out of Sun Prairie: a Dane County sheriff's deputy followed a 19-year-old Black woman for six and a half miles before handcuffing her dad and throwing her to the ground. Plus, SSM Health's latest attempt to delay its nurses' union, Halal Restaurant Week's expansion to Madison, and a lightning round on the crew's most irrational competitive streaks.
After the encampment: Accountability & trust in Madison (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week, the team breaks down a chaotic week on Madison's east side: the city's clearing of the Williamson and Baldwin Street encampment that had formed after police killed Corey Ruiz, the violent altercation between independent police monitor Aeiramique Glass and Madison Police, and the ongoing fight over whether the Office of the Independent Monitor will get the evidence it needs. Common Council Vice President Carmella Glenn joins to describe what she witnessed firsthand, why she calls the p
