City Cast Houston Launches Oct. 5
Sept. 22, 2021
Following our success in Denver and Chicago, City Cast is expanding to a third city, Houston, TX.
City Cast Houston’s newsletter and podcast will be hosted by Lisa Gray, a former Houston Chronicle reporter, columnist, and podcaster who knows the city from Alief to Zaza. She and the crew will bring the intimacy of podcasting and email to this ginormous mess of a city. They’ll discuss the newsy issues that matter most — as well as where to go, what to eat, who to follow, and more.
The City Cast Houston newsletter launches Oct. 5, and the podcast will follow a few weeks later.
Check out City Cast Houston and sign up for the newsletter. You can email Lisa at lisa.gray@citycast.fm or follow her on Twitter @LisaGray_HouTX.
We’re going to keep growing fast. We’ll be announcing four more city launches in the coming weeks, and we’re still looking for great colleagues around the country. Positions are listed here. City Cast offers competitive pay, great benefits, and a culture of creativity and inclusion. We value diversity, integrity, kindness, flexibility, and humor.

City Cast Expands to 8 New Cities
July 13, 2021
We’ve got big news: we’re growing!
After successfully launching daily local news podcasts and newsletters in Denver and Chicago, we’ve decided to expand to 8 new cities! They are:
- Boise, ID
- Houston, TX
- Las Vegas, NV
- Nashville, TN
- Oakland, CA
- Omaha, NE
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Salt Lake City, UT
We chose these cities for their vibrant sense of community, their pride of place, and their voracious appetite for news and podcasts. We couldn’t be more excited to start building City Casts in these new markets.
In March 2021, we launched our initial podcasts and newsletters, which are designed to make people feel more connected to–and informed about–the city where they live. Seeing encouraging audience response to both City Cast Chicago and City Cast Denver, we’re moving swiftly to grow our network.
In a matter of months, City Cast Denver, hosted by Bree Davies, has earned a “Best of Denver” award in Westword, and covered topics ranging from moths and fast food to the dark side of the local “jam band” scene and a controversial local development project. Jacoby Cochran, host of City Cast Chicago, has become a sought-after guest for local media outlets, and the podcast has tackled subjects ranging from the local comedy scene, to police foot chase policy, to the little known South Side rodeo.
We will begin hiring in our new cities immediately. Positions are listed here. City Cast offers competitive pay, great benefits, and a culture of creativity and inclusion. We value diversity, integrity, kindness, flexibility, and humor.
