Carnegie Museums Backlash, Shapiro's Challenger & New 'The Pitt' Trailer Drops

Listen Later

The Carnegie Museum of Art is in the spotlight for breaking its own rules about hosting political events. We explain why the $5,000-per-plate dinner with U.S. Senator Dave McCormick is back in the news. Plus, we talk about the first candidate to officially challenge Governor Josh Shapiro's reelection bid: Republican Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania's two-term state treasurer. And we share some (potential) good news for Pittsburgh soccer and hockey fans.

Vote for us for Best Podcast every day through midnight tonight. We’re in the People & Places category.
