It’s the Friday News Round-up, with host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz. We’re discussing joy in Philly schools, and how new rules on bathroom breaks and half-days might affect that. Also, why was Marsha’s on South Street – a queer-owned women’s sports bar – inspected by the police on a busy night? And the World Cup is less than 100 days away: Time to pick which team playing in Philly you’re going to support.
