    Description

    DC Council passed a first vote on the 2024 budget, and there were a lot of sticking points. Like, should transportation be free? Should there be police officers in school? Should the city be doing more to support low-income residents? Michael Brice-Saddler from the Washington Post is here to tell us what made it into the budget, what was cut, and who won which battles.

    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.
