  • Luigi Mangione's Pit Stop in Pittsburgh. Plus, Affordable Housing & US Steel

Josh Shapiro were thrust into the spotlight this week.

    • Why Pittsburgh’s Menorah Went to the U.S. Supreme Court

      There are tons of holiday traditions in Downtown Pittsburgh, including a special ceremony to mark the start of Hanukkah. Each year, the mayor and community leaders light a 12-foot menorah in front of the City-County Building. But its place on government property wasn’t always celebrated. In 1986, a group of Pittsburghers brought a lawsuit against our local governments to remove both the menorah and the creche, which in those days sat outside the County Courthouse. We’re talking with one of the plaintiffs, attorney Jon Pushinsky, about his legal argument and what it felt like to take this case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

          Introducing SZA on Making Music From a Beautiful Place from The Run-Through with Vogue.

          Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue

          The Fashion Awards took place in London last night at the Royal Albert Hall, and British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi skipped all the afterparties so that she could join Nicole Phelps immediately afterwards and give us a rundown of the evening.

          We also have an extra-special treat: a conversation between Nnadi and SZA, British Vogue’s current cover star. This conversation feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on a conversation between two friends; which makes sense since Nnadi and Solána—SZA’s real name, and how Nnadi calls her—go back over a decade.
