Listen Later

It’s another midweek news roundup! We’re talking about the latest twist in the shooting death of Eddie Irizarry, and SEPTA’s crackdown on riders who don’t pay up. Plus, we’ve got a Philly news quiz that you can play along with. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Isaac Avilucea, reporter at Axios Philadelphia, and Asha Prihar, Hey Philly newsletter editor.  

Our news roundups are powered by great local journalism: 

  • Former Philly officer Mark Dial's first-degree murder charge dropped
  • SEPTA is treating fare evasion as a criminal offense for the first time in five years
  • SEPTA is upping penalties for smoking, urinating, drunkenness and other bad behavior on transit
