“As a sober person, City Cast has been an incredible resource for me to learn about all of the amazing experiences, food, and nature that the city offers that isn’t centered around drinking. Thank you City Cast Team! Your work is so important!!”

“Love the host and find most of the episodes interesting! Recently found out that not everyone on the production team lives in Chicago, which I found disappointing. We need people who live here to tell our stories!”

“I can’t continue to be a fan of this somehow if you don’t take crime seriously . Denying it needs serious addressing is his bullshyt. Makes me question all of the other reporting. Lost my dad to this violence. Get it together”

“One of my favorite Citycasts, I think Jacoby’s “good newwwwws” could be enough on its own to solve Chicago’s emigration crisis. I’ve never lived in the Midwest, but I’m learning Chicago is a vibrant enough city that I am seriously considering moving there. That, and it would be fun to have a...”Read full review »

“They report on stories that matter to people who actually live in Chicago. Unlike many other local news outlets they don’t bother too much with national or international stories, and focus instead on what’s going on here (which may include how world events affect us). It’s also funny and fun,...”Read full review »

“Enjoy your show, but the Oprah episode was disappointing. Very bias, because Oprah also helped promote and elevate people who have impacted our society in incredibly negative ways (e.g., Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, John of God). So, please be objective when discussing all people.”
