To get into today’s news and culture updates, City Cast DC producer Ashe Durban and Washington City Paper’s Cat Sposato join the show to chat about DCPS facing major cuts, a D.C. coffee staple unionizing, and Real Housewives of D.C. finally being released on streaming.  We wanted to issue a quick correction for some misstatements in this episode. You might remember we had a segment about funding for DC public schools. Our producer Ashe mentioned that 200 positions are going to be cut, district-wide. Just want to clarify that that's not all teachers! It's 200 staff positions total. Also, the childcare fund is to support daycare workers, not pre-k and kindergarten teachers. We apologize for the error and know this budget stuff is confusing. So confusing that we’re actually talking to the budget director about it in a future episode! So if you have questions like we do about the city’s budget for next year, tell us! Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
