Did the Eagles Risk Jalen Hurts’ Life? Plus: Music Venue Closes & Dems Go for PA Sweep
Everyone’s talking about the health and wellness of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. This week, the organization announced that their franchise player will be out for the remainder of the season because of life-threatening blood clots. This has left more questions than answers. Contributors Nic Esposito and Lauren Vidas join host Trenae Nuri to discuss. Plus, they talk about what’s at stake for Pennsylvania Democrats as they go for a trifecta of control in the state House, Senate, and governorship in next month’s election. And we say goodbye to World Stage, formerly World Cafe Live. It’s shutting down at the end of this month. Listen back to our conversation with Inquirer music critic, Dan DeLuca, about the turmoil surrounding this West Philly music venue.
