August 06, 2024VP Nods, Sober Spaces, and a New Kind of Vending Machine
A local teacher was left out of America’s latest prisoner swap with Russia, but his family isn’t giving up. Seven vending machines filled with free Narcan are popping up across the county, and Pittsburgh’s alcohol-free scene is more vibrant than ever. Plus, how a certain mayor added to the VP announcement drama.
We always cite our sources:
The mayor of Philadelphia posted a video last week calling for people to support “vice president Josh Shapiro,” but one source said this isn’t a formal announcement about Harris’ running mate.
Oakmont resident Marc Fogel was left out of the US’ prisoner swap with Russia, and he shared how he’s feeling with his family.
Vending machines filled with free Narcan are popping up around Allegheny County, and Prevention Point offers more harm reduction resources and instructions on how to administer Narcan.
Looking for more alcohol-free spaces in the city? Stage AE recently introduced its sober sanctuary, and the Open Road is moving to Garfield.

August 05, 2024PA's Controversial Plan to Create Clean(er) Energy
Pennsylvania’s getting millions from the federal government to build hydrogen hubs in the hopes of creating an energy source that’s cleaner than fossil fuels. Our state lawmakers think it’s a pretty good deal, but some environmental groups worry that without the right regulations in place, these hubs won’t actually be as environmentally-friendly as they seem. Now that the first phase of an Appalachian hub is kicking off, we’re revisiting our episode from last fall about the potential and pitfalls of these huge projects.
Have more questions about our regional hydrogen hub? Its leaders are holding a virtual community meeting on August 16th. Learn more and register here.

August 02, 2024Prisoner Swaps, VP Picks & PA’s Claim to Pommel Horse Guy
It’s the Friday news roundup! We’ve got the latest on Pittsburgh’s so-called “jock tax,” how Pennsylvanians are showing out in the Paris Olympics, and what we know about a Pittsburgh-area teacher who was left off an historic prisoner swap with Russia. Plus, we’re checking in on the Trump rally investigation and decoding Kamala Harris’ choice to introduce her vice presidential pick in Philly next week.
We always cite our sources:
Pittsburgh’s “jock tax” is headed to the state Supreme Court.
Kamala Harris will hold a rally with her running mate in Philadelphia next Tuesday
Former President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Harrisburg on Wednesday — his first time back in Pennsylvania after the assassination attempt in Butler County.
Earlier in the day, he spoke at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention.
Trump says he plans to return to Butler County but has not released more details.
As the investigation into the assassination attempt continues, the Butler County district attorney has been defending local law enforcement officers after the state police commissioner told Congress that they left their post at the rally.
The prisoner swap between the U.S. and Russia does not include Oakmont teacher Marc Fogel.
Fogel’s mother met with Trump the day of the Butler County rally and had been hoping he would draw attention to Fogel’s case during his speech.
Senator Bob Casey is urging the Biden administration to prioritize Fogel’s release.

Introducing Attack on Golan Heights killing 12 youths draws international attention to the region from The World.
Follow the show: The World
A rocket from Lebanon killed 12 children and teens on a soccer field in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Saturday, drawing international attention to the region and also to the Druze people living there. We look at how the Druze community fits into the fabric of Israel. Also, as the results of Venezuela's presidential elections continue to be contested, with both sides claiming victory, our reporter on the ground in Caracas brings us the latest on how people are feeling amid the uncertainty. And, the number of US students studying in China is way down compared to previous years. The pandemic is part of the reason. But there are other pressures, some of them related to the tense diplomatic relationship between the US and China.
