Has potential, but too political
I wish this show could just be a politically neutral show about Pittsburgh, but it has a lot of political talk. And it’s not centrist political talk…these people are extremists. I just gave the show another chance after a long hiatus, thinking “the culture has moderated a lot over the last few years, maybe they won’t be so ridiculous”…but then within the first episode I listened to, they’re talking about transing children as an active good, without scruple or debate. From what I understand about this company, is they are centrally located near dc, and they deploy “local” podcasts to cities all over the country. So the political talk may be the entire point, to build an air of “oh look, even the “local” podcast agrees with these points of view.” Trying to manage what the local public believes I wonder if they receive some kind of federal funding?..,that should be investigated, but seems like the kind of graft our gov is all about. These people get money, the leftist get fake “local” podcasts to astroturf support for their pet issues around the country. Lastly, the one girls voice is super obnoxious. She does that thing where she raises the pitch over her voice at the end of a sentence, almost like she’s asking a question….its hard to listen to

Cannot stand Sophia
Sophia brings my rating down by at least 2 stars. Her disdain for the region is so consistantly evident. Please, if you hate everything so much because it’s different than where you’re from, go back to Philly or wherever. Everything Sophia says is a downer and makes this show miserable. She adds nothing of substance, just a rain cloud on the show.

Advertising for landlords?
Loved this podcast until they started advertising for platforms geared toward landlords and property management companies. Do better. Tenants are in crisis. Let’s not make landlords’ jobs easier.

Fantastic resource for new Yinzers
My husband and I just moved to the city and we’ve made this podcast a daily listen. The hosts and guests are realistic and personable, the “what to do this week/weekend” tips are great, and we love when they cover basic-but-necessary topics like how to drive in Pittsburgh or how to eat out on a budget.

A great connection to the city
I moved out of Pittsburgh five years ago, after being born and raised there. City Cast PGH is a great connection to my hometown, keeping me up to date about what’s going on in Pittsburgh. Great job to everyone who makes it

Listen daily/every other day
Love the show, especially the content. But the one host vocal fry (always dragging out the end of her sentences) make it sooo tough to listen to daily. For sure one of the best 412 pods!!

Good Content, Irritating Delivery
I listen regularly because they talk about interesting things in Pittsburgh. However, the hosts can’t seem to deliver a sentence without laughing at the end: I’ve taken to referring to the show as “The Giggle Girls.” And Ms. Lo has so much vocal fry and up-speak that I actually dread hearing her mentioned as a participant at the beginning of shows.

Keeps us updated on all things happening in Pittsburgh!
Love the show and variety of events and news covered. It is my favorite Pittsburgh podcast. I will say it drove me crazy listening to the 5/31/24 episode hearing all 3 hosts keep repeating “lymes disease” instead of Lyme disease.

Very informative
I love the mix of news and events in the city. You can tell how much the team loves the city, and they have really informed and interesting guests. A MUST LISTEN!

The host should stop trying to make “Yinz” happen
Please for the love of all things could the host stop saying “yinz”?
we could have a drib

Great way to stay in touch with local news
Especially the Friday news round-ups. I really appreciate the work y’all are doing

Fantastic Host!
I’m really enjoying the variety of Pittsburgh-area topics and the great energy of the new host. Megan obviously has a ton of knowledge about the region and really does her homework before talking to guests and taking on complex topics. I would recommend this podcast to both new Pittsburghers and established residents.

Missing Morgan <\3
RIP BRING MORGAN BACK. The content is fine but not really loving the current host.. comes off performative in a social justice way that feels inauthentic.

Must listen!
This is basically must listening for any Pittsburgher!

Love having a local news Podcast!
I am a huge podcast listener and have been looking for something to add to my rotation to keep me in the loop with Pittsburgh news. This show has a fun but informative tone, I'm glad it exists!

Smart. Fun. Yinzery!
I grew up in Pittsburgh and love listening to this show. So fun to stay connected to all things Steel City, even from afar. From sports (Go Steelers!) to food to local politics, there’s a point-of-view here. It’s not NPR (in a good way), but it’s not a mindless ‘chatcast’ either. The producers dig deep into the distinctly Pittsburgh, at-this-moment conversations happening around town while also highlighting so much of what the city has to offer. I don’t think you’ll hear anything else like it.

Fridays are my favorite!
Everyone on this team has great such great presence and takes. From the host to the producers, I truly love hearing their thoughts. The whole team gets together on Fridays to talk about news that week and its really one of my favorite things about this show. Keep it up!

This show has taught me so much about Pittsburgh and exposed me to parts of the city I’d never thought to explore! Really loving it.

Love, love, LOVE
I can’t start my mornings now without City Cast Pittsburgh in my ears. Just a quick and easy way to be in the know.

Dig this pod
Just started listening and I’m already hooked. Must find time to go back to all the episodes I’ve missed. What a way to get to know this city!

Fun and informative!
I love listening to City Cast Pittsburgh! It does such a great job at capturing what’s happening in the city and beyond. A must-listen for all yinzers!

Makes your mornings better
I love waking up to this show. It’s the best way to wake up to what’s going on in Pittsburgh, with thoughtful conversations, interesting news, and fun stuff too. (Can I just say how much I love the food episodes, like the stories about Heinz and strawberry pretzel salad?) These folks know Pittsburgh inside and out — and they love this city, too. The love shows!

Love the host!
Morgan is just the coolest and she makes me interested in stuff I wouldn’t normally find interesting. I always appreciate hearing her take.
Smooches and Gooses
Brilliant—and funny
Does the Styx song “Renegade” actually help the Steelers win? Science says yes — and the host loses a bar bet. A pure delight.

A Big Fan
A phenomal noun and vibrant show that really doesn’t shy from the reality and loves the history of Pittsburgh!

Glass Recycling
There are two locations with large collection bins for glass. One in Bethel Park in Kohls parking lot and another at Castle Shannon Fire station parking lot (closer to city). All colors of glass and caps too. As far as “it doesn’t get recycled anyway”? It is being collected so I am putting recycling out for pick up.

Smart, fun, easy
Such a great way to stay on top of what’s happening locally. And eps are short so I can catch up fast!

A new era of local news!
Citycast Pittsburgh is leading the way in bringing back local news reporting after our newspapers were devastated and local tv thoroughly compromised. Hopefully Morgan and the crew are the vanguard of a renaissance of local media!

host ruins it
Was very excited to find this podcast. Made it through a couple episodes but the host’s sing-songy voice, trite interjections and forced casual attitude was too much to bear. Which is a shame because I love Pittsburgh and am interested in everything about the city.

New routine
Love starting my day with this show and its delightful host. She knows her city and her stuff.
Whyitsali
Joyful and curious
It’s really new, but City Cast Pittsburgh is already an amazing source of great conversations, news, and joy about Pittsburgh. It will make you feel way more connected to the city. Host Morgan Moody is fun and warm and a mega-Steelers fan too.

Host!
Love her! Very talented and knows her city.

Can feel the love for Pittsburgh
I love the host’s energy, and the way she builds rapport with her guests – really keeps me engaged. What a great way to learn more about Pittsburgh, and the humans who call the city home. Keep the episodes coming!
LizzieG88
Love the relaxed feel!
I’m so excited to learn more (or anything!) about Pittsburgh and can already tell Morgan is a great guide.
ChiCarrie
Excited for the Future!
City Cast really gives me an opportunity to express my own city more but also learn about these other beautifully unique places and I am so excited to learn more about the steel City!

Was interested but turned off by politics and crass content
As a former Pittsburgh resident and frequent return visitor to Steel City I was interested in giving this pod a try. To be fair, in the first episode, the guest and the topic were interesting. But what turned me off was the explicit, crass content of the Eat’n Park “obituary.” They did put an “E” next to the title but I think what was mentioned in the obituary shouldn’t be on a general audience podcast in the first place. All people should be able to listen to it. As well, the hosts’ editorials about the possible GOP convention being hosted in the city was unnecessary. My feeling is hosts of journalistic podcasts like this should be impartial. These hosts obviously aren’t.
