The director of the University of Wisconsin law school’s Public Defender Project discusses where things are at in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Then the head of a project to tell the complete history of map-making tells us what it feels like to nearly conclude the four-decade project. And we learn about the discovery of a century-old dugout canoe on the bottom of Madison’s Lake Mendota, and what’s being done with it now.
