FAQ

Why do you need my support?

Our advertising partners provide critical support for City Cast's local journalism, but we’ll also need support from our listeners and readers — that is, you! — to make our startup sustainable in the long-run.

How can I listen to the ad-free version of the podcast?

You will be redirected to a page that explains how to access your ad-free podcast feed immediately after checking out. You'll also get an email from us with a link.

Is there a one-time payment option?

All City Cast memberships renew either monthly or annually. You can cancel your membership at any time by logging into our membership portal or reaching out to membership@citycast.fm.

Who do I contact if I have questions?

Please email membership@citycast.fm. We look forward to hearing from you!

Can my partner and I buy a joint membership?

Of course! Love is beautiful, isn't it?
