  • Summary

  • City Cast Las Vegas is a daily podcast and newsletter created by and for locals (and locals-at-heart) that’ll challenge the easy narratives about our city … and, okay, maybe confirm a few of them, too. Las Vegas is a city of reinvention, bursting at the seams as it welcomes newcomers into its various incarnations as a service-worker union town, a military town, a college town, and, most recently, a sports town. There’s a four-mile street testifying to our entrepreneurial genius, not far from pockets of staggering inequality. Great wealth runs through our city, but how much of that actually stays in Vegas? We’re independent in spirit, but also ruled by orange traffic cones. Our 2.5 million residents anchor an ever-changing city of 42 million visitors. Join us every morning for the messy, delightful, complicated conversations that Las Vegans are having: You’ll hear us ask hard questions about where we’ll get our water when Lake Mead runs out, and how we’ll keep housing affordable. We’ll argue over our favorite Chinatown bars, and share insider tips on the best tacos in town. City Cast Las Vegas will show you how loving a city means celebrating it and also holding it accountable, while having some fun along the way—because Las Vegans know how to have a good time.

  • Surprising Truths About Our Desert Tortoises

    Surprising Truths About Our Desert Tortoises
    Feb 24 2025
    Spring is here, which means that desert tortoises will soon be emerging from brumation (that’s hibernation for reptiles) — but as they venture out into the sunshine, they face increasing dangers every year, from cars, solar projects, and even ravens. So we’re bringing back a conversation that co-host Sarah Lohman had with wildlife biologist Beth Wolff last year about all the things that make desert tortoises so unique and fragile, and what you should do when you encounter one.
