Show Notes
It’s the Friday news roundup! A fund to help communities deal with polluted air could get poached by the county, historians finally found the namesake of the Carrie Blast Furnaces, and if you’re looking for love, there’s a new on-camera opportunity in town. City Cast’s Megan Harris and Elizabeth Kauma are with PublicSource journalist Quinn Glabicki.
As always, our Friday shows are powered by great local journalism.
- Check out Quinn’s story on the messy finances behind the Clean Air Fund, plus how inversions worsen the impact of pollution in the Mon Valley.
- Historians finally uncovered the mystery behind the namesake of the Carrie Blast Furnace after 25 years.
- Rivers of Steel, the furnace’s modern-day managers, is publishing a series of blog posts on Carrie’s life.
- Very Local is an affiliate of Hearst and WTAE. All their programming is free, including Season 2 of Ed and Day in the Burgh.
- And they’re still casting for the Pittsburgh version of Local Love. Producers say all ages, identities, and orientations should apply.
