Hey, neighbor! I’ve got a special send for you today. By now, you’ve probably heard of City Cast Neighbors — our membership program that supports my team’s work on this newsletter, as well as our daily podcast and social accounts. It also comes with a lot of great perks! One of them is a weekly email rounding up my top local event picks, and I figured a summer Friday was a great day to give you a sneak peek.
Every week, Neighbors receive the events listing below and use it to kickstart their week’s plans. These events aren’t scraped by bots; my colleagues and I thoughtfully curate them, so there’s something for everyone — from live music shows to volunteering opportunities. Scan through and I bet you’ll see a bunch of things you want to attend. If you want to get this email every week, become a Neighbor today.
The weekly email also always includes a personal recommendation or greeting from me or one of my colleagues. For example, today I’d be inclined to tell you about today’s episode of “Your City Could Be Better,” City Cast’s national podcast. Our CEO David Plotz sat down with the hosts of the City Cast DC and City Cast Seattle podcasts to talk through city-life conundrums. They’d asked us writers and producers across the network to send in dilemmas we’ve faced, and I was really surprised by how much commonality there was! We’re really all just out here wondering if it’s ok to throw dog poop in strangers’ trash bins. Who knew? Anyway, it’s a really fun episode, and you should check it out — on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Ok, on to the events now 👇
