| 5/7/26 | ![]() What Life Is Really Like In the Tunnels Under Las Vegas | Homelessness can feel like an insurmountable problem — one so big it drowns out the people actually solving it. Brent Nowak, engagement liaison for the Shine a Light Foundation, joins us to pull back the curtain on the estimated 1,500 people living underground in Vegas's flood channels — and what it actually takes to help them find a way out. Plus, our executive producer Layla Muhammad shares what she witnessed firsthand on a recent tunnel tour. Want to get in touch?

| 4/15/26 | ![]() How to Prove You’re a Real Las Vegas Local | Las Vegans love proving they’re the real deal. We give that instinct the merit badge treatment with a playful checklist of local status. From surviving triple-digit summers to knowing secret parking hacks and late-night diner rituals, these badges capture the quirks that separate tourists from true residents. Beneath the humor, it reveals how pride and community shape belonging in a city people often misunderstand. Host Jesse Merrick is joined by contributors Dayvid Figler and Sonja Cho Swanson.

And if so – what happens if that luck runs out?

Nightlife is a huge economic driver for cities, but city offices are often closed when those businesses need help. That’s why Portland is considering hiring a Night Mayor.

| 4/10/26 | ![]() Crypto Kiosk Scams, Protecting Ash Meadows, and Pups on a Plane | Clark County has hundreds of ATMs that exchange cash for cryptocurrency (or "crypto kiosks") and scammers are swindling Nevadans out of millions with these machines. So what kinds of guardrails make sense — or are even possible? Sonja Cho Swanson sits down with Nevada Current editor April Corbin Girnus and our brand new host at City Cast Las Vegas, Jesse Merrick, to discuss. Plus, the team looks at why the deep red community around Ash Meadows in Nye County is fighting development and seeking a national conservation area designation, and why the Animal Foundation just flew 30 rescue pets out to Utah. Plus: This week in our members-only feed, we discuss the debate over turning First Friday into an exclusive, ticketed event.

| 4/9/26 | ![]() The End of Vegas' Strangest Media Marriage | The Las Vegas Review-Journal is no longer printing the Las Vegas Sun in its pages — at least for now. The longtime rival newspapers published competing op-eds to mark the change, which came after continued legal battles. But why was the Review-Journal printing the Sun in the first place, and should it continue doing so? Host Sonja Cho Swanson is getting the scoop on this modern newspaper war from UNLV history professor Michael Green, and longtime media observer and lawyer Dayvid Figler.
