It’s the Friday News Roundup! We discuss an initiative to get 2,024 young Black men in Philly registered to vote by November and the debut of the city's first autonomous bus down at the Navy Yard. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Pat Loeb, City Hall Bureau Chief for KYW Newsradio, and Meir Rinde, investigative reporter for Billy Penn.

City Cast Philly is the daily news podcast about the city you love (and maybe sometimes hate?) and the Philadelphians who are working hard every day to make this place better. Each weekday morning, host Trenae Nuri will chat with people all across Philly’s diverse neighborhoods about issues that matter to you. Whether that’s what do I even do on the weekends in this city with endless options, or how do I get the bus to actually stop, or how is this city going to keep our kids safe and educated? City Cast Philly is here for it all. It’s that energetic, informative conversation you might overhear at your neighborhood coffee shop. But with City Cast Philly, you’re always welcome to join in.
