Show Notes

It’s the Friday news round up! Host Trenae Nuri talks with Tom Fitzgerald, transportation reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer and Meir Rinde, investigative reporter for Billy Penn. They discuss what's causing SEPTA’s recent string of crashes, why the transit agency's drivers are facing more abuse from passengers, and local political figures connected to the most recent Trump indictment. Plus, the Boss postponed his long-awaited Philly shows!
