  • What exactly is a data center, and why does Pittsburgh have so many? We're sharing the latest on the arson attack against Gov. Josh Shapiro at the official mansion in Harrisburg; why the two men who jumped off PPG Place didn't break any records; and how you can (hopefully) get your Bucco Brick replaced by the Pirates. Plus, the city is considering expanding paid sick leave, and the ACLU is suing the University of Pittsburgh over alleged violations of students' First Amendment rights. Thanks to Axios Pittsburgh reporter Chrissy Suttles for joining us!

  • Four men are vying to lead the city of Pittsburgh, so ahead of the primary on May 20, we're asking each of them to tell us why they think they're the best person for the job. We're kicking things off with our current mayor, Ed Gainey. He served in the state house for almost a decade and, in 2021, became the only challenger to ever beat out an incumbent mayor. We talk to Gainey about his biggest achievements and challenges in office so far, and why he believes he deserves another term.
    This is the first installment of our new "Mayoral Mondays" series. Stay turned over the next month as we talk to Gainey’s Democratic challenger, County Controller Corey O'Connor, as well the Republican candidates — former police officer Tony Moreno and Lawrenceville small business owner Thomas West.

  • Should Governor Shapiro declare a state of emergency to deal with Pittsburgh's trash? One city councilor sure thinks so. Pirates' leadership keeps finding ways to enrage fans and the new airport terminal got a little more expensive. Plus, some international students at Pitt and CMU had their visas revoked and the twists and turns keep coming in Nippon's bid to buy U.S. Steel. All that and more on the Friday news roundup.

  • Five different people have led the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police over the past two and a half years — all under a single mayor — and it's still not clear when we're getting a new, permanent, top cop. What's going on with the police department, and what does this “revolving door” of local chiefs say about the city? We're with University of Pittsburgh law professor David Harris, who’s served on multiple committees to choose Pittsburgh’s police chief, to talk about the leaders from our recent past; recruitment and retention challenges facing us in the present; and how a new process passed by City Council could influence us well into the future.

  • Our region is facing billions of dollars in cuts to medical care and research by the Trump administration. The decisions made today will have far-reaching effects for decades to come — for the patients who rely on Medicaid, for the scientists researching medical treatments and cures, and for a city whose identity is built around eds and meds. We're joined by three local doctors to talk about the very real impacts if funding goes away and the work they're doing to try and prevent that from happening.
    Thank you to our guests:

    Dr. Gabriel Cisneros, pediatrician with UPMC Children Community Pediatrics

    Dr. Marian Jarlenski, professor of public health at the University of Pittsburgh

  • You may have seen the billboards, the T-shirts, that one angry dude sitting behind home plate at another team’s playoff game — because there are some really frustrated Pirates fans out there. With the new season already off to a slow start and our home opener against the Yankees set for tomorrow, we’re sitting down with a few of the rabble-rousers behind Our Team, Not His who say the time is now to convince Pirates owner Bob Nutting to sell the team. Not just for fans, but for taxpayers and anyone else who wants to see the whole city succeed.

    Thanks to our guests Gabe Mazefsky, Marc Datz, and Canyon Swartz.

  • Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato gave her quarterly address to County Council, and while there’s a lot of uncertainty around funding, there are also things to celebrate. Like more bathrooms in the parks! But if you see any downed birds, be mindful of bird flu and please don’t touch. Biden’s outgoing pardons are back in the news — including one granted to a judge convicted in the ‘Kids for Cash’ scandal — and we’re taking a dive into autopen lore. Plus, we’re recapping Pennsylvania’s special elections, celebrating the start of the Pirates new season and fewer potholes at Pittsburgh Mills, and it’s time to apply to be a lifeguard for both city and county pools.

  • Everyone knows John Fetterman here in Western PA — he was the Democratic mayor of nearby Braddock, rose to lieutenant governor under Tom Wolf, and now he’s the commonwealth’s senior U.S. Senator — in part, because he rode a progressive blue wave. But these days, the Harvard-educated AmeriCorps alum is increasingly aligned with MAGA Republicans. Ahead of a ticketed event in Pittsburgh this weekend, we’re teaming up with City Cast Philly’s Matt Katz and Philadelphia Inquirer political reporter Julia Terruso to talk about Fetterman’s evolving priorities and what they could mean for us here in Pennsylvania.

    Fetterman’s event will be co-hosted by fellow U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) to promote McCormick’s new book about mentorship, “Who Believed in You.” The location is still TBD, possibly because some groups in Pittsburgh are planning to protest. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Free Store, founded in 2012 by Gisele Barreto Fetterman, who is also on the schedule to attend.

    Former Congressman Conor Lamb, who lost the Democratic primary against Fetterman in 2022, has been a vocal critic of Fetterman’s lately. He’s holding his own town hall in State College on Saturday with the Centre County Democratic Committee.
