The city paper of podcasts

I listen almost every morning while I’m getting ready for work. A cup of joe and Claudia and friends keeping me informed and entertained. They do a great job of summarizing local news, suggesting events and restaurants, and apparently having a pretty good time creating a daily podcast. Thanks y’all. It brightens my day.
My intro to Portland!

As a recent east coast transplant, City Cast PDX has been my daily go-to for coming up to speed on all things Portland. Love the unserious expertise this show brings to each episode. Keep it up!
Hard to find the news

DBL wants to leave a review

It is often difficult to separate the news from the commentary on the Friday News Roundup. I want to be a resident informed enough to feel connected and contribute to everyday conversation. An accusation of “white-liberal racism” on the February 6 edition is an obstacle to that goal.
Thank you!

Thank you for using your platform to ask Sen Wyden about his continued arms support to Israel. The safety of Jewish people in Israel cannot exist without the safety of the Palestinians, so to me his answer was empty. He is also responsible for this genocide and we'll never forget.
