Description

Congress is pushing back hard on two D.C. bills and many local leaders are … letting them? City Cast DC Contributor Dan Reed and Lead Producer Priyanka Tilve join the show to talk about this wrinkle in the fight for statehood. We’re also talking about the best apps for tracking metro and Logic’s new rap album, which is an homage to the DMV.
As always, our roundups are powered by stellar local reporting:

Josh Jacobson’s Twitter spat with Sen. Michael Brown.

Jordan Pascale’s eulogy for MetroHero at DCist.

Logic breaks down the trailer for his new album, College Park.

City Cast is the daily, local audio companion you knew DC needed. Washingtonians are gritty, proud, and resilient — necessary qualities for a community facing issues that range from an affordability crisis to the fight for statehood to the movement for racial justice… and useful qualities for a region full of whip-smart people, dynamic culture, and constant change. Washingtonians are deeply passionate about our city, whose story is still being written, and City Cast DC is here to tell it. Every weekday morning, our hosts Michael Schaffer and Bridget Todd will engage people from all over the eight wards in conversation about DC’s crises and its beauty, both literal and figurative. It’ll have the feel of eavesdropping on an energetic and informative coffee shop chat, except that with City Cast DC, consider this your official invitation to listen in.
