It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today's topics include the nine nominees for the Philadelphia Board of Education, and which neighborhood is getting a new public restroom pod, known as a Philly Phlush. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Dale Mezzacappa, senior reporter at Chalkbeat Philadelphia, and Mike D’Onofrio, reporter for Axios Philadelphia. They also discuss plans to see Monday’s solar eclipse.
