Sometimes, a historical artifact will emerge that makes us question our past and our present. In this case, it’s a black and white video from 1962 made with hidden cameras. The film documented housing discrimination in Madison. But it was suppressed by UW before it could be shown. It sat in the university archives until this year. On this week’s Desire Lines, we learn about the role of archives. Who do they protect? How do they preserve? And what else is waiting to be rediscovered? Produced by

This is the first of a two-part series. Featuring the voices of: Cat Phan, Kacie Lucchini Butcher, George Allez, and

By 2100, summer is projected to last nearly half a year and winter will be less than two months. What will happen to spring, that long season of transition? It doesn’t look good. A slow spring is important for crops. And for us. There are many micro springs of Wisconsin to savor. Produced by Carrie Ann Welsh. Attributions: Music is “Recording 1.24.21” by Dan Welsh and
