Description

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Today’s topics include how the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office used an off-budget checking account to buy ammunition, stun guns, and a $9,000 mascot costume, and how Sixers fans are feeling about officiating errors during playoff games against the Knicks. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by William Bender, investigative reporter at The Philadelphia Inquirer, and O.J. Spivey, sports writer for The Philadelphia Tribune. 
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.
