The quartet are responsible for a daily podcast and accompanying newsletter that deliver hyperlocal news in a humorous and often fun way.
The City Cast Salt Lake team — from left: Ivana Martinez, Emily Means, Ali Vallarta and Terina Ria — at Salt Lake City's Gallivan Center on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023.staff were having a serious conversation recently about how they removed snow off their cars that morning.
The evidence, Means said, is the fact that they showed up to the Great Salt Lake Gala last year dressed as brine shrimp. Some of that, the women say, is attributable to the format, which presents hard news from a less-traditional angle. But it’s also true, Martinez said, that women aren’t taken seriously.
“It’s a lot easier to make a podcast that isn’t edited than to make a podcast that is edited,” Vallarta said. “It makes a world of difference.” The City Cast Salt Lake team, Ivana Martinez, Terina Ria, Ali Vallarta, and Emily Means, on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023.Means and Martinez have backgrounds in hard news; both came to City Cast Salt Lake after stints at public radio station KUER. Vallarta worked for the Sundance Film Festival, and Ria in social media and communications. Each of them is thoughtful about the content they put in the podcast and in the newsletters.
What makes the job, and the newsletter, so fresh is that it’s different every day, Ria said. “A fun part of the job is being able to, like, brainstorm, and kind of soundboard off of each other, and come up with really cool concepts for the newsletter,” she said.
