episode Why Every Region Needs A Park Map Tool Like Salt Lake’s. Plus, Dry Heat vs. Humidity cover

Why Every Region Needs A Park Map Tool Like Salt Lake’s. Plus, Dry Heat vs. Humidity

Residents of Salt Lake County have wondered about their parks for years — that is, until City Cast Salt Lake host Ali Vallarta set out to catalog them all. Over the course of two years, she visited all 511 parks in the county, seeking to record their amenities (e.g., bathrooms, playgrounds), write helpful summaries, and track down the people in charge. The resulting map has already become a valuable tool for locals, who now not only know who to call when trash cans are overflowing: they can also find outdoor spaces that meet their needs.

How Las Vegas Saves More Water Than Any Other City. Plus, Are the Casinos Just for Tourists?

The water in Vegas stays in Vegas. How else could a desert city possibly have enough water for its year-round tourists, a metro area population of over 2 million, and all those pools? The process just might be grosser than you think. With innovative recycling, strict lawn rules, and infrastructure to monitor it all, Vegas has become a global leader in water reuse. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Las Vegas [https://lasvegas.citycast.fm/] podcast host Jesse Merrick to learn how the city makes do with what it has and how its practices could save other cities’ water supplies. Plus, are any Las Vegans actually going to the casinos?

How Chicago’s Libraries Meet Community Needs. And, Should the Bears Keep the City Name if They Move?

Chicago is opening its 82nd public library branch in June, and loaning out books is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what these institutions offer residents. City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Chicago [https://chicago.citycast.fm/] podcast host Jacoby Cochran about how Chicago’s libraries have evolved to meet community needs, from opening a food pantry inside a branch to turning student IDs into automatic library cards — and how they could be even better. Plus, are the Chicago Bears still the Chicago Bears if they move to Indiana? Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

Do DC’s Hated Traffic Cameras Really Make the City Safer? Plus, Why You Should Go to a Rave

City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast DC [https://dc.citycast.fm/] podcast co-host Bridget Todd about how these cameras work, the congressional scrutiny they've been getting, and whether they make DC safer. Plus, is DC becoming the new rave capital?  Mentioned on the show: * "The deadliest road in America" [https://www.vox.com/23178764/florida-us19-deadliest-pedestrian-fatality-crisis] (Vox) Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
