What Is Council Chatcast?

Council Chatcast is a podcast-like conversation with young people across the US to discover what bicycling means for our communities, a way to raise awareness around the perspective & benefits of alternative modes of commuting, and uplift youth voices

We are excited to hear from all of our peers (24 and under) and from our audience members in this year-long format to promote youth voice in transportation advocacy!

FAQs

• I'm 25 and above, can I still participate in Council Chatcast?

We appreciate additional support for our work and believe adult allies can channel energy into spreading the word to young people to join the Chatcast. We welcome staff of organizations adjacent to bicycle industry or youth-support organizations to sign up.

• How can I support future Council Chatcasts?

Reposting our content! The next youth speaker won't know about it unless someone shares it with them. Additionally if you're looking to sponsor a Council Chatcast, please email us: info@nybcouncil.com or donate to the Council Chatcast here.

• Where can I see my Chatcast?

We currently post all Chatcasts to Instagram but in the future hope to also upload them to Youtube.

• I see someone I know in the Chatcast content, how did they get there?

We use recordings of the current Chatcasts to help promote future Council Chatcasts. If you'd like to join them, please sign up to Chat with us if you're a young person or a staff member from a youth-supporting organization.
