The co-founder of Isthmus, described as one of Madison’s best writers, has died

5 days ago | isthmus.com | Judith Davidoff |Jason Joyce

Legendary Madison journalist Fred Milverstedt, who co-founded Isthmus in 1976 with Vince O’Hern, has died. Mike Baron, a comic book author and former Isthmus writer, reported the news Monday on his Substack. Milverstedt was a Madison native, graduating from West High School in 1960.
Never do for a boy…

1 week ago | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

Joe Steen was a psychiatrist who wore a pointy goatee and horn-rimmed sunglasses with red lenses. He smoked a pipe, which he always seemed to have a hard time keeping lit, and he would fuss with it even as he recited Edgar Allan Poe stories from memory or kicked a kid’s ass in chess. After my dad and some teachers, Steen was the adult male with whom I spent the most time as a teenager.
One dish: the shrimp cake eggs Benedict at Gates & Brovi

2 months ago | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

I’m anti-brunch. Please don’t rope me into a multi-hour feast-plus-cocktails that leaves me with a 4 p.m. hangover and a regrettable charge on my credit card. But the combination of a late morning college basketball game and barstool perch at Gates & Brovi has me wavering on this long-held opinion. I’ve been back twice already to the west-side bistro for the shrimp cake eggs Benedict. A crisp breaded coating keeps the shrimp cakes firm and flavorful.
Madison falls hard for its new LOVB pro volleyball squad at the Field House - Isthmus

Jan 18, 2025 | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

Jacki Spiel and her 13-year-old daughter, Gwynneth, didn’t have tickets to Friday’s LOVB Madison pro volleyball game, but they made the decision right after school to head to the UW Field House and get in line. A half-hour before game time, they’re sitting in the front row behind the baseline. As Madison and their opponents, LOVB Salt Lake, warm up, it’s clear that they’re sitting right in the line of fire. “It’s gonna get serious fast!” Jacki yells over the dance music and crowd noise.
Annie Forest is building a fitness business around vulnerability and community

Jan 3, 2025 | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

Thanks to the excesses of the holidays, New Year’s resolutions and even seasonal depression, many of us set out to improve our fitness each January. But crowded gyms can be intimidating places, thanks to the presence of very fit people who make it look easy, established cliques that work out together, the emphasis on pushing through repeated failure, or all of the above. Being weak, slow and unmotivated can add up to crippling vulnerability.

Reader's Letter: Action needed for safer cycling

Nov 13, 2024 | wilmslow.co.uk | Jason Joyce

In the space of a week in September, two cyclists have been fatally injured in collisions with motor vehicles in our local area. The latest, a Wilmslow resident, was knocked off her bike on Manchester Road. The wrecked bicycle was dragged by the driver into Handforth town centre. This same stretch of highway saw a cyclist lose her life in 2012. Manchester Road forms an important link between Wilmslow and Handforth and the villages and towns beyond.
The price of college athletics programs is going up. Will Badgers fans pay it? - Isthmus

Nov 10, 2024 | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

An Oct. 22 message from UW-Madison athletic director Chris McIntosh to Badgers fans, clocking in at more than 1,000 words, is his most recent attempt to explain the extraordinary shifts that are dramatically altering college sports. As if wholesale changes to the policies governing transfers, conference realignment and name, image and likeness (NIL) weren’t enough, coming soon are the terms of a settlement in the historic $2.8 billion House vs. NCAA antitrust lawsuit.
Madison’s date night guru since 1976 could use a hand

Nov 5, 2024 | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

Have you ever used Isthmus to plan a date? Let’s define date broadly, as simply a night or afternoon out, around the city, doing something fun. But that can definitely include trying to find a concert, play or festival that is not only great entertainment, but could spark a connection.

Sign of the times

Oct 11, 2024 | isthmus.com | Jason Joyce

Yard signs don’t vote,” goes an old political axiom. They also don’t usually draw much attention from dog walkers and bike riders who pass by. But a 3-feet-by-4-feet sign bolted to two sturdy four-by-four posts in Ryan Matthes’ front yard at the corner of Schurz and Lakeland avenues on Madison’s east side has lots of people talking, which is just what he was going for when he put it up.
