Epstein's Penn Connection, Mosque Damaged in Attack & Freedom Fuel Opens

Listen Later

Philly takes center stage as Freedom Fuel, the cheap gas stations promoted by President Trump, opened in the city this week. Executive producer Matt Katz and senior producer Abby Fritz also cover how convicted child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein tried to recruit women from the University of Pennsylvania. And they give context on the arson attack on a mosque in the Northeast. City Cast Philly Neighbors get a members-only segment on the hidden gardens of Philly and an upcoming Neighbors event at the historic Wyck Historic House and Garden.
