    Combo Noir Says, “To Hell with Love”

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Combo Noir Says “To Hell With Love” Saint Valentine, the patron saint of epileptics and beekeepers, was beheaded at the hands of Roman Centurions on February 14, 225.  For reasons no-one really understands – maybe because birds were once thought to pair up in mid-February – or perhaps because modern greeting card companies needed to make money – St. Valentine’s feast day has become associated with romance and love.  Madison’s slinky blues/soul outfit Combo Noir isn’t buying the whole Valentine’s Day nonsense.  They’re presenting “To Hell With Love” at the North Street Cabaret on February 14th.  Lead singer Anna Purnell joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on February 9, 2026.

    Magdalena Coline: A Life Beyond Slavery

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Magdalena Coline: A Life Beyond Slavery Daniel Lord Smail (photo courtesy Princeton University Press) Although the concept of slavery has existed, to some extent, throughout recorded history, the institution took on new dimensions in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, when it was transplanted to the Americas. Slavery in the United States of America marked the first time, slavery became institutionalized as an immutable condition of race, slaves were reduced to mere property, with no inherent rights at all, and with no chance of emancipation.   In medieval Europe, whether or not someone could be considered a slave was far more nuanced than commonly thought.   In his new book, Magdalena Coline: A Life Beyond Mediterranean Slavery, Harvard University historian Daniel Smail digs deep into the peculiar history of a captured Berber woman living in Marseille in the 1300s who successfully sued her former slaveowner in court.  Daniel Smail joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on February 9, 2026.

    WI Democracy Campaign on Protecting 2026 Elections

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · WI Democracy Campaign on Protecting 2026 Elections Nick Ramos (photo courtesy wisdc.org) Last week, President Donald Trump continued to throw shade at election officials in traditionally Democratic states. On Monday, February 2nd, Trump told former FBI director turned podcaster Dan Bongino that “Republicans should take over the voting in at least 15 places.” Two days later, Trump told NBC news reporter Tom Llamas that he would accept the results of the midterm elections “only if they’re honest,” and renewed calls for the passage of the Safeguard American Voter Integrity or SAVE Act, currently pending in Congress. In other comments, Trump has threatened to send I.C.E agents to polling places, ostensibly to make sure non-citizens do not vote. While the Constitution grants states the right to manage elections, Trump’s rhetoric has many on edge. Is Wisconsin ready for whatever the federal government does this November?  Nick Ramos, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign joined the Monday Buzz on February 9, 2026.

    Yid Vicious Celebrates 30 Years: Live on the Monday Buzz

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Yid Vicious Celebrates 30 Years: Live on the Monday Buzz On Friday, February 2, 1996, – Groundhog Day – Madison found itself in the grip of an Arctic outbreak that saw 10 inches of snow falling and record low temperatures across Wisconsin.  In the tiny Mother Fool’s Coffee House on Williamson Street, a fledgling local klezmer band decided not to cancel their debut concert, despite the raging blizzard outside.  Thus was born Yid Vicious, who thirty years later, have become a musical staple of the Madison scene and international stars on the world klezmer circuit.  Yid Vicious will celebrate their 30th Anniversary Kleztacular at the Harmony Bar on Saturday, February 7th.  But first, they joined the Monday Buzz for a live performance in the WORT studios. Yid Vicious live in the WORT studios. From L to R: Greg Smith – clarinet, Anna Purnell – trumpet, Kia Karlen – French horn, David Spies – tuba, Daithi Wolfe – violin, Geoff Brady – tambourine.

    Historical Perspective on National Guard and Federal Agents

    WORT 89.9FM Madison · Historical Perspective on National Guard and Federal Agents Historian John W. Hall (photo courtesy wisc.edu) On Saturday, January 24th, U.S. Border Patrol agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Guttierez shot ICU nurse Alex Pretti dead in the streets of the Whittier Neighborhood of South Minneapolis.  The shooting marked the 9th person who has died at the hands of ICE or CPB agents, or in ICE custody so far, nationwide, this year.  In response to the Pretti shooting,  Governor Tim Walz has deployed 1,500 Minnesota National Guard troops to the Twin Cities.  The state has deployed Guard troops to federal buildings.  So far, the Guard troops have tried to distinguish themselves from federal DHS agents by wearing high-visibility vests and providing coffee and donuts to protestors.  Nonetheless, the presence of Minnesota armed troops and heavily armed federal officers raises fears of conflict between the two.  John W. Hall is the Ambrose-Hesseltine Professor of Military History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and he joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on February 2, 2026 to give us a historical perspective of the relationship between state troops and the federal government.

(Photo by Fibonacci Blue, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons) In a recent visit to Minneapolis, U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance expressed surprise at the level of what he called “chaos” in the Twin Cities, compared with other Department of Homeland Security actions in Los Angeles and Chicago.  Minnesota’s stiff community resistance to the invasion of their neighborhoods by heavily armed federal agents comes after years of preparation.  Monday Buzz host Brian Standing spoke with Erika Zurawski, co-founder of the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Coalition, about why Minnesotans were ready for this moment.
