Hey, Salt Lake! I’m feeling all the feels for our newest members: Kara C., Jenna A., Hannah R., Hilary B., Emily K., Sierra H., Rachel N., Karen S., and Jordan M. — welcome to the City Cast Salt Lake neighborhood!
Kara C. shared this note after joining, and it totally made our day: “I really love the way y'all express yourselves especially on your views of the city. I enjoy the way you call out city leaders and the legislature! Great work! I listen faithfully every weekday, and today I decided to become a member to support the podcast that I love.”
If City Cast Salt Lake is part of your daily routine — keeping you informed, and maybe even a little fired up — consider becoming a City Cast Salt Lake Neighbor today. Your support makes it possible for us to keep digging into the local stories you love.
