Some news: I’m really excited to announce my new venture: It’s called City Cast (citycast.fm), and it’s going to be a network of daily, local news podcasts in cities around the country, launching in a handful of places this winter. 1/x

@nwquah I also wrote a piece for Medium about why I'm launching City Cast. (Briefly: The future is local.) medium.com/@davidplotz_89…. 3/x
@nwquah With pandemic, economic crisis, the BLM movement--America has never needed great local journalism more. I believe that podcasts-intimate, curious, passionate--are the ideal medium for building community and connection in cities fighting for their future. 4/x
@nwquah So come work at City Cast! We’re hiring a ton, and we need great people around the country. Pay is competitive and benefits are great, and we’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive workplace. citycast.fm/jobs/ 5/x
@nwquah City Cast is owned by @grahamholdings, which has vast experience in podcasting and local media. City Cast is a for-profit. Philanthropic media ventures are wonderful, but GHCO and I believe it’s important for democracy to figure out for-profit models for local journalism. 6/x
@nwquah @grahamholdings So check us out at CityCast.fm, and email me at David.Plotz@citycast.fm with questions. Our Twitter handle is @CityCastPod, but we haven’t started tweeting yet. 7/x
@nwquah @grahamholdings @CityCastPod And oh, yes, I will still be doing the @SlateGabfest with @jdickerson and @emilybazelon. Last/x
