A new daily podcast is coming to town
And we’re helping launch it.
We’re partnering with City Cast to bring a daily podcast to the isthmus.
You probably have some questions. Let’s break it down.
What is City Cast?
City Cast is a network of daily local news podcasts in cities around the country. Current cities include Chicago, Denver, Houston, Salt Lake, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, DC, and Boise. And soon, City Cast will go live in Madison.
What you can expect
Don’t worry, you’ll still receive your daily dose of Minutes.
We will retain complete editorial control over our newsletters. City Cast Madison staff will produce the podcast. Once the podcast launches later this year, we’ll share new episodes in our newsletters and occasionally contribute to the podcast.
More about our partnership
This partnership felt like a natural fit for us. City Cast knows the ins and outs of podcasts, and when it comes to newsletters, well, those are sort of our thing.
City Cast has already proven its commitment to Madison by hiring longtime local journalist Molly Stentz as lead producer.
🎙Some professional news: I am leaving WPR at the end of the month. I am over the moon thrilled about what @CityCastPods is building and their investment in local journalism. I’ll be launching a Madison podcast with them very soon. Stay tuned! 🎧 https://t.co/F9Kpaktibh

Open positions
Now that a lead producer is hired, City Cast is looking to add two more staff members to the launch team:
- Host, salary range $75-100k
- Audio Producer, salary range $60-80k
We’re incredibly excited about this partnership and all of the opportunities it brings.
Stay tuned for more!
