Voting Out Dan Snyder, Cherry Blossoms, and No More Free Metrobus?
We’re back with another live taping at Politics and Prose Union Market! This time, City Cast DC Contributor Dan Reed and the Washington Post’s Lori Aratani join us to talk about why NFL owners are threatening (again) to vote Dan Snyder out, how D.C. is potentially backtracking on its plan to make Metrobuses free this summer, and how to take advantage of the very very early Cherry Blossom season this year.
Plus, City Cast CEO David Plotz sits down with Politics & Prose's Chief Adult Book Buyer Anton Bogomazov to talk about some new books you should consider checking out this Spring, almost all by women (Happy Women's History Month)!
As always, our Friday roundups wouldn’t be possible without some great local journalism:
- From the Washington Post: Daniel Snyder’s demands anger NFL owners, renew talk of voting him out
- From DCist’s Jordan Pascale: Fare-Free Buses In Jeopardy As D.C. Revenue Projections Drop
- NPS announces peak bloom!
Definitely check out our newsletter Hey DC as well. It’s the same mix of newsy and fun, with some great events options for you every day.
