City Cast Seattle

i’ve been subscribed less than a week and every. single. day. i’ve been fed a “bonus” episode about something entirely irrelevant. look, i’m not naive about a media company needing to make ends meet by doing internal promotion. but this is downright spam, it isn’t thoughtful, and it’s cost the pod a subscriber.

Love this podcast and its hosts. I’ve learned so much from like-minded folks about bike lanes, closures, restaurants and politics, and this is filling a gap left by the local news, which tends to be reactionary (even in Seattle).

Enjoy the newsletter but can’t stand the unbalanced, superficial takes on complex issues facing Seattle. I’ll stick with KUOW for local coverage.

I find this podcast to be highly informative and enjoyable. Every day there is something I later reference in conversation or pass on to a friend as a suggestion. And I have learned some interesting history and context about local issues. It is perfect for staying informed and connected on a broad range of things in Seattle. I also listen to NPR and KUOW daily and I find City Cast is often more relevant or interesting. I was shocked to see so many negative reviews in here. Apparently from conservative folks who are definitely not the audience for this or folks who expect a single podcast episode to have the depth of a full newspaper… I would say City Cast is a great way to stay on top of everything and then be able to dig further on what’s talked about, follow the specific contributors or supplement with other sources. Anyways, listen to City Cast Seattle if you want to be a great Seattle neighbor!!
