Bridging the Civic Information Gap

Local journalism in the United States has experienced a dramatic decline. Over half of all U.S. counties now qualify as news deserts with severely limited local coverage. At the same time, local governments hold thousands of public meetings each week — covering zoning, budgets, public safety, infrastructure, and more.

These meetings are recorded and publicly available, but virtually no one watches them. A typical city council meeting runs 2–4 hours, with advisory boards adding another 10–20 hours per week.

CivicCast AI bridges this gap. We take the public record that already exists and make it genuinely accessible — as a podcast you can listen to on your commute, during a workout, or while making dinner.
