Show Notes
The hottest new medical drama is set in Pittsburgh! Max's "The Pitt" just wrapped its first season, which follows a 15-hour shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (aka Allegheny General Hospital).
But just how "Pittsburgh" is the show? The City Cast Pittsburgh team is sharing our favorite local homages and Easter eggs, guessing which neighborhoods the characters might live in, and discussing the authenticity of nurse Dana's yinzer accent. Plus, a local healthcare worker tells us whether the show feels true to life.
"The Pitt" is coming back to town later this year to film its second season. What Pittsburgh storylines or references would you like to see? Leave us a voicemail at 412-212-8893.
Note: If you haven't already watched the Pitt, we save spoilers for the second half of the episode!
