This is the first episode of Tone Madison's new live podcast, recorded October 20 at the High Noon Saloon. In this first installment of The Tone Cluster, we tackled the many social, cultural, and economic changes in progress in downtown Madison with the help of four guests: Mike Martez Johnson, elections co-chair of Progressive Dane and contributor to Madison365.com; Lindsay Christians, who covers the arts, food, and drink for The Capital Times; André Darlington, who also covers food and drink for his Farmers Market Report podcast and for numerous outlets including Isthmus; and ​Tone Madison​ contributor Chris Lay.
