Listened to both seasons of this show as I was in nearby cities, very fun to connect with it like that!

Listened to both seasons. Audibly gasped when I heard it was cancelled. Was fully looking forward to her coverage and perspectives of another city!

I’m so disappointed that this podcast was canceled. The way you covered Northern Nevada was insane! I didn’t realize how big of an underbelly my hometown had. Thanks for all of your hard work!! I know I’m late to the party, but I’m so glad I found you and binged it one day at work.

I enjoyed reading the original longform story and was led to the podcast. But right off the bat, the narrator’s voice is sped up from her native speech cadence so much that it’s painful to listen. I prefer to listen to her voice as she would likely talk and it’s nothing close to the speed you’re...Read full review »

Season 1 was great! I really liked it, I was really interested and I thought everything was done so well. I listened to the trailer for Suspect, but I can’t find any more episodes. I’m guessing Season 3 is for Suspect, but where is it??

Mainly made up story to segregate races

Loving every minute of this podcast. So sad there won’t be more seasons to come.

This podcast is a fantastic portrayal of how there’s layers of drama, ulterior motives and power-plays in every town & government- you just have to do some digging...

The City: Wow this podcast is the best non-murder investigative series I’ve ever heard. It looks at how authority and power works in American cities and had two seasons before its producer USA Today canceled the show. The first season looks at a Black Chicago community’s fight to get rid of an...Read full review »

Season 1 breaking down the mess of Chicago politics was great. Things never change. Season 2 in Reno is so well researched & gives so much contextual history. Fascinated by both. Great journalism.

This was a mistake cancelling the show. Not only was it well done, but interesting and thorough as well. It would’ve been worth a subscription to USA TODAY if they kept it going

I have no idea why this show would be canceled. This kind of journalism is interesting and necessary. Maybe if it wasn’t well subscribed, you should look at your marketing plan more than anything else...hope it makes a comeback, I’d give up a lot of podcasts to keep this one!

The City was such a great show- so so disappointed!!

Sad
Such a great show!!

USA Today was already a shrinking newspaper brand in print, mostly relegated to the recycling bins of hotel rooms... The City was a spellbinding saga of investigative journalism that proved that amazing quality can emerge from storied media powerhouse in need of a little reinvigoration....Read full review »

Such an amazing podcast, can’t believe it’s cancelled.
meganhey93 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/20
This was a well researched and reported show and I’m sad to hear that it’s ended, for now at least. I hope that when things pick back up the show will return.
Spiffandbiff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/20
Really bummed to hear that shows getting discontinued. I stumbled onto this podcast through another one by Wondery and it’s easily been one of my favorites. Hope you guys are able to come back!
Cheers2beers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/20
thorough investigative journalism and riveting story telling ! thank you for delving into specific stories whose themes and threads run through so many cities.
brbudner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/20
Love this podcast: subject are deep and investigatory but another detail that a lot of podcasts miss and that is the style of narration : this podcast has nailed that down to perfection ! The narration is key to the story , it’s exactly on topic with accountability for the listener . Can’t...Read full review »

This team believes that prosecuting cases with no evidence is the thing to do. I will never understand why somebody thinks that one person’s word is more available than others in a strictly hearsay case. I’m done with the series. If they come back with a season three count me out.
CNYHistorian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
Just didn’t connect with the show!
podcastlistener4453 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/20
So far we’ve had two insightful stories, can’t wait for the next season!

Bathroom sex doesn’t make sense to sober people but having witnessed people having sex on the fountain out side my job drunk people sometimes just go at it

One to definitely listen to...

Thanks for great reporting but also sharing the sides of the ladies. Hearing their voices made their lives come a live.

How can i listen to season 1?
Clandestino111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/20
Liberal media trying to divide our country even more. Season 1 at least
Bradc89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/20
In the season portraying Reno’s battle with strip club I felt like the pod was an unbiased portrayal of the story. With the bonus episode, it felt like y’all were going out of your way to attack the Keshmiri brothers. I’ve never been a big fan of them, granted I’ve only met them a couple times,...Read full review »

Such a great podcast. As a native Nevadan born and raised in Reno, it’s an accurate portrayal. Great reporting and journalism. Very intriguing and you just want to binge listen!

Check out Buffalo, NY! Mysterious deaths, convictions, machine politics, newspapers withholding investigated truths in the midst of the state-funded "Buffalo Billion" development/gentrification push. Western New York is home to multiple mafia families, but who needs mafia when "good...Read full review »

I’ve lived as a background character in this story. In 2016 I had an apartment in Midtown right down the street from the Wild Orchid. In 2018 I bought a very small condo in one of the renovated old casino buildings downtown, because I couldn’t get into a house anywhere in or around Reno due to...Read full review »

I’ve lived in Chicago my entire life and never heard about this before. I love Chicago and have loved living here but this embarrasses me and hugely disappoints me
Yvonne in Chicago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/10/20
What an excellent Season 1 podcast. Season 2... pure rubbish. Reported in such a biased manner, makes one wonder why the reporter is so blatantly trying to sway the listener?
JengaFromTheRock via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/20
Well-researched and extremely interesting podcast dealing with so many issues in a thoughtful way. Highly recommend!
Meggo18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/20
Season 2 was so obviously biased, it’s almost as though she’s being paid by the strip club owner.
CreativityGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/19
The journalist in season 2 in Reno is so clearly biased in favor of the strip club, insinuating repeatedly that merely moving the strip clubs five miles out of the downtown area would cause 175 dancers lose their jobs. Imagine how different her take would be if she bought a home a a strip club...Read full review »

Why give so much favorable coverage to an antagonistic bully who condones illegal and unsafe working conditions at his clubs (rape, coercing intoxicated women into prostitution) and illegal, decrepit living conditions at his sad motels?! (Look up photos of the Ponderosa motel; it’s utterly...Read full review »

Wonderfully well written and researched show with high production value. It also deals with complex themes like systemic racism and gentrification. I highly recommend.

Look forward to next season
Constanza from NY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/19
Absolutely love this podcast. Perhaps I’m a cheater but I never listened to Season 1 of the podcast I just jumped right into Season 2 but I’m living it! It’s highly captivating and so enjoyable! Five Stars all day! *****

Have listen to three episodes. So far, it’s entirely a defence of a sleaze bag who profits from the sale of women’s bodies and being a slum landlord. Really hope that this series turns round. Chicago was brilliant.

You mean the town that subjects casino workers (including pregnant cocktail waitresses) to second hand smoke cares about worker safety?
