Episode Details

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Topics include Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker’s picks to lead her administration, what new laws City Council passed before the winter break, and changes to Pennsylvania’s legal code you should know about for 2024. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Stephen Caruso, Pennsylvania Capitol reporter at Spotlight PA, and Sean Collins Walsh, City Hall reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Our Friday News Roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

• Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker announces her ‘big three’ staffers who will lead her administration
• A paper bag fee, new protections for building workers, and a send-off for Council President Darrell L. Clarke
• A mix of reform-minded and tough-on-crime justice bills are now law in Pa.
