Welcome to City Cast Boise Neighbors, our brand-new membership program that helps deepen your connection to Boise. Here’s everything you need to know about our growing Neighbor community.

What It Means to Be a City Cast Boise Neighbor

At City Cast Boise, our team brings you the stories that matter — right here in our own backyard. We dig deep into the conversations shaping our communities, the Boiseans who give the city its heartbeat. In a time with increasing rhetoric and a barrage of national headlines, we spotlight the conversations impacting our neighborhoods, and celebrate the neighbors who make Boise unique.

Because better neighbors make for better cities. And City Cast Boise Neighbors are the best.

Benefits and Perks

Your membership directly supports local journalism and the stories you rely on to better understand Boise. Here’s what else you get:

  • Neighbor-only events: You’ll get access to regular events like special insider tours, local volunteering meetups, happy hours with other City Cast Boise Neighbors, and other Neighbors-only events where we share ideas about how to make the city better for everyone.
  • An opportunity to submit your favorite local business or organization to be mentioned in the show and in the Hey Boise newsletter. It’s your chance to shine a light on the local spots making a difference.
  • A weekly preview of Boise events right in your inbox every Monday, so you can make the most of your time in the city.
  • Ad-free listening: A special feed just for Neighbors where you can listen to the City Cast Boise podcast without advertisements.

Why Your Neighbor Became a City Cast Boise Neighbor

Wesley S.: “I enjoy the wide-ranging reporting of Hey Boise and especially appreciate the way Lindsay shows up for events that matter to me."

Diana P.: "I really enjoy the news you deliver and feel it’s fair and balanced. Thanks for creating such a great news program! Plus the additional details about fun places and events make it extra special!"

Claire C.: "I really believe that local, independent news supports a healthy democracy, so I wanted to do my part to help it thrive!"

Dave M.: "I think it's really important to support grassroots, modern, local media in my community! I know it's tough to make it sustainable financially and if you value something, you should put your money where your mouth is."

Bailey V.: "I grew up in the Treasure Valley (in Canyon County), but my wife and I have spent the last few years living in Seattle. We recently moved to Boise to be closer to family, but to make staying here work long term, I want to be able to have a sense of community outside of family. The podcast has kind of helped with that, and I am interested in the member-only events as a way to interact with like-minded people in Boise."

Karen D.: "Lindsay is truly a gifted host. She’s a terrific listener and question asker. I never miss an episode and have all my friends tuning into CCB for much needed knowledge and insight into events, restaurants, recreation, politics and huckleberry spots!"
