General Info – Saving Cities

What an adventure it's been! The new site is finally live and we're very excited to have you here. This will be a quick overview of what you can expect to find here, what we're still hosting elsewhere, and how you can help us make it an even better experience. Saving Cities Podcast While Buzzsprout will still be our official host for the audio itself, the show notes and additional content will be pubished here on SavingCities.com and any bonus materials will also be exclusive to our own sites. The podcast releases a new episode every other week on Wednesdays. We're thrilled to be returning with the first round of 2022 guests on Wednesday, January 5th! Book Reviews While we spend time talking to amazing authors on the SC Podcast, we're also now reviewing their books here on SavingCities.com. Our hope is that we can drive even a smidge more awareness to releases we think are important for our fellow civic nerds to know about. While we're a small team with only so many sets of eyes and hours in a day, we'd love to hear from you if you've got a recommendation for us. Additional Content From time to time we will be posting additional content beyond reviews and show notes, including opinion pieces on recent policies at the federal level, national stories of interest in the community and economic development space, and -occasionally- a rambling love letter to places we think are great (ahem...Cleveland). We hope you'll check it out and let us know what you like (or don't like) as we build this newer model of communication out. Monthly Newsletter We know your time is valuable, so if you'd like to make sure you're kept in the loop then we'd encourage you to sign up for the monthly newsletter. It's literally only one email a month and will recap all the articles, reviews, and podcast episodes that we dropped that month, along with any special info or offers we've got for you. We will never share your info or spam up your inbox. You can click here to sign up now. Join Our Community While everything on this site will remain free, as will the SC podcast, we have started a low-cost membership option for those super civic nerds who want to engage a bit more directly and frequently. For as little as $5/month you can join us as we do deeper dives with guests, show a bit of the production process, and bounce ideas off of the community for input and feedback. You can click here to check it out. Support Our Mission If you're not up for a monthly subscription just yet, but you've found some value in the work we're doing here, there's a quick and easy way for you to support us with a one-time gift of $5 or more; just click on that little cup of coffee you see in the bottom right corner of the screen. Every bit helps us offset the costs of running this operation, including hosting, production, software, and more. Thank you so much for your support!
