City Cast Boise

So much news, short and sweet format with a relaxed approach. Easily my fave local podcast at the moment. 🩵🙏🏼

Tied with City Cast Pittsburgh as my favorite City Cast. What I formally regarded as a backwater nowhere, these excellent journalists have no opened my eyes to a thriving little community. It still needs light rail and alternatives to car-dependency, though.

A left leaning to Liberal host, with Liberal guests. True insight to see how the “Boise metropolitan area” is turning purple. And how a state who’s vibrantly red, becomes purple and eventually blue. Listen to the show, you’ll see how it happens. This is the situation most of us “rural” Californians are in, completely outnumbered by the city people so our vote doesn’t matter, especially on the national stage. I really hope the people who live there understand this and vote in their local elections because that’s where it matters most.

These podcasts are consistently excellent and that includes the production of them. They are always easy to hear and understand and the levels are just right. That’s the backstage stuff. Up front Lindsay is fantastic. She is capable of discussing topics of all genre (though when it comes to politics she has a famous history!). Lindsay interviews people with skill. We learn a lot during these interviews. Thank you City Cast Boise crew.
