Episode Details

It’s the Friday News Roundup. We’re talking about the real-world impacts of the Pennsylvania budget impasse, the very expensive state Supreme Court justice election, the City Hall bike lane project suddenly in limbo, and the new name and logo for the Philadelphia Art Museum. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz also dish about a new steakhouse that opened this week, and weekend plans in the city.
