City Cast Salt Lake
😬 Your SLC dating stories
February 13, 2026 · City Cast Salt Lake podcast host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means edited this week’s newsletter.
Major news 👀 City Cast just launched a brand new podcast, and the name says it all: Your City Could Be Better (because, honestly, it’s true)
Each week, our CEO David Plotz will swap stories with hosts and producers from all 13 City Cast teams about the surprising ideas that are working (and not working) in their towns.
It’s smart! It’s fun! It’s weird! And the first episode is out now on YouTube and wherever you listen to your podcasts.
