Episode Details

It’s the Friday news roundup! NEXTpittsburgh columnist Tony Norman joins lead producer Mallory Falk and producer Maria Carter to discuss concerns around how Mayor Gainey’s office communicates with the public. They also talk about the growing number of guns getting seized at the Pittsburgh airport (we’re on track to break a record!) and the latest local athlete to grace the cover of a Wheaties box.

We love to cite our sources:

• P-G’s editorial on the city’s communications
• TribLIVE on the increase in guns at TSA security checkpoints, and TravelPulse on how this is part of a national trend
• T.J. Watt announcing he’s on the Wheaties box
• Smithsonian Magazine’s deep dive on Wheaties history
