Description

We’re joined by Axios’ Cuynet Dil and City Cast contributor Dan Reed to talk through the D.C. mayor’s sweeping new anti-crime proposal, the latest twist in the story of the Beltway zebras, and Dan has thoughts on leaf collection.

As always our roundups are powered by the great local journalism in the area:


Check out Cuneyt’s reporting on the new crime bill proposed by Mayor Bowser.

We also covered the uptick in store thefts on the pod with Emily Davies of the Washington Post.

The Department of Public Works has this handy guide for how to handle leaf collection.

The Washington Post explains the acquittal of Jerry Lee Holly, the owner of the escaped Maryland zebras.

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.
