D.A.’s Explosive Police Misconduct Allegations, New Photos of Old Philly & Halloween Ghost Tours
Could last weekend’s shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer have been prevented? We discuss whether police misconduct allowed a killer to go free in a 2019 case that preceded the shooting of the officer. Plus, we chat about colorful and vivid photography in Philadelphia in Color 1950-1990 – a new book that explores life in Philly. And for our members-only segment, there’s several scary and ghostly tours to take in the city right now. To that end, we’re doing our fall membership campaign right now — if you rely on this show to know about all the things that happened in the week (and the things coming up, like Open Studios at Village of Industry & Art and the Philly Coffee Festival), join us as a City Cast Philly Neighbor. And, for a limited time only, get a sweet dad hat. Sign up here.
