Episode Details

Where officially is the Steel City? It's a conversation we've all had plenty of times, everyone thinks they're right, and no one is ever fully satisfied with the answer. So we made it an official debate. We’re throwing it back to one of our favorite conversations ever on this show that, of course, came on the heels of a very silly social media moment. What do you think- Midwest, Appalachia, East Coast, or Mid-Atlantic? Or as @pittsburghpersonified says, “a secret third thing,” lol.

We’ve got two guests who each feel passionately that they know they answer:

• James Santelli is the communications manager for the Allegheny Regional Asset District, and 
• Ryan Deto is a reporter for the Pittsburgh Trib, and of course, he sparked some of the conversation about what region we’re really in.

Think you know better? Call or text us at 412-212-8893. We’re also on Instagram @CityCastPgh!
