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

What It Means to Be a City Cast Madison Neighbor

At City Cast Madison, our team brings you the stories that matter — right here in our own backyard. We dig deep into the conversations shaping our communities, the Residents 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 Madison unique.

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

Benefits and Perks

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