Editor's note: modern humanity
I don’t usually write about national events in this space, but nothing else feels more important.
Editor's Note: We’re just pet people
Our team has been excited about this special edition for close to a year, and we’ve been stockpiling story ideas for months to fill an entire magazine, front to back, with pet-related content.
Editor's note: It’s simple, really
What I did discover — after diving into Ron Faiola’s latest book about supper clubs and through case studies of one old, one new and two soon-to-open restaurants — was that the answer was a lot simpler than I thought.
Editor's note: The magazine magic behind the March cover story
Just like there’s “movie magic,” there’s also “magazine magic.”
A look inside Madison Magazine's February issue from the editor
An above-the-fold feature story on our very own associate editor Maggie Ginsberg appeared in the Mount Horeb Mail newspaper back in December, in which editor Matt Geiger mentioned her upcoming debut novel, “Still True.”
Editor's Note: Madison has layers
I am constantly discovering new subsets of Madison life. The stories unfold endlessly, layers upon layers, further expanding my understanding and perspective of this place.
Editor's Note: A snowy state of mind
We didn’t totally plan this, but this issue turned into quite the celebration of winter. You might be thinking, “Wait, my local magazine that’s known for hyping up all that makes Madison great wants me to see the good in our coldest, longest season?” Big surprise, I know. But I have to say, we make a strong case.
Editor's note: Heart
When inspiration struck me for this month’s cover story, The Amys, I didn’t realize just how profoundly moved I’d be by the award winners our committee selected.
Editor's Note: PSL, please
I like pumpkin spice lattes and a lot of other “basic” fall things, and I do not care what comedian Bo Burnham thinks about it.
Editor's Note: The stars in my eyes
A night at Washburn Observatory left me with a newfound appreciation for the starry sky above.
Editor's note: The best is BACK
Our last Best of Madison issue was sent to the printer on March 8, 2020 — six days later, the world shut down.
Editor's note: It’s about the stories
There’s power in good storytelling, and it’s a responsibility and an honor to get to do it.
Editor's note: Welcome to the ’20s
We aren’t roaring — we’re roaming. And ruminating. And reflecting. We are being reborn, more curious, more aware and more humble than we were before.
Editor's Note: Imperfect hobbyist
Creative intentions do not always equal a Pinterest-perfect product.
Editor's note: Chef of the year
It’s never been just about a chef’s talent in the kitchen — which Francesca Hong undoubtedly possesses — that wins them the title. It’s also about a chef’s efforts to make their city a better place for all.
Editor's note: History here and now
Living through history gives me a deeper appreciation for people like Levitan, who preserve and retell the true tales, no matter how painful or incredulous.
Editor's Note: Moving forward into 2021
Forward we trudge into 2021, with gratitude, humanity and hope in our hearts.
