Suffocating Smog, Congress Attacks D.C. Elections, and Local Pride History

It’s hazy out there! We chat about what to do about the Canadian smoke spreading across D.C. Plus, Congress has some thoughts on voting rules in the District. And of course, it’s pride month, and CCDC contributor Dan Reed has been reading up on that month’s local history.  As always, our Friday episode is fueled by local journalism:  Capital Weather Gang is all over the haze and smoke status around the city. WAMU’s got you covered on what went down with Congress. Check out all the local Pride events in the city. We’re doing a survey to learn more about our listeners, so we can make City Cast [City] an even better, more useful podcast for you. We’d be grateful if you took the survey at citycast.fm/survey—it’s only 5 minutes long. You’ll be doing us a big favor. Plus, anyone who takes the survey will be eligible to win a $250 Visa gift card. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
