Description

Welcome back to the Friday News Roundup. We discuss the four recent shootings on or near SEPTA property, including one on Wednesday where eight teens were struck; an unexpected shakeup on Philly’s Board of Education; and which restaurants in the city are keeping the $1 hot dog tradition alive after the Phillies ended their “Dollar Dog Nights.” Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Tom Fitzgerald, transportation reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Dale Mezzacappa, senior reporter at Chalkbeat Philadelphia. 
Our Friday News Roundups are powered by great local journalism:

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.
