It’s the Friday News Roundup! But, a little different this time. We're talking big picture... about the changes we’re most excited to see in our city, the most pressing issues facing residents, and how we can all stay better connected. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Afea Tucker, Philadelphia community engagement reporter for The Trace, Conrad Benner, founder of Streets Dept, a local art blog, and City Cast Philly Arts & Culture contributor Charles Tyson, Jr. This live show was taped at the Indy Hall Clubhouse in Northern Liberties on August 30, 2023.

Our live event was also powered by a great Philly business: the Indy Hall Clubhouse & Community. Indy Hall is Philly's original community of freelancers, remote workers, and more. It's for those who love their freedom and flexibility, but don't like always feeling alone. Their clubhouse in Northern Liberties, near 2nd and Spring Garden, is Indy Hall's latest home, providing a comfortable and flexible place to work, play, and get to know people doing all kinds of cool things in Philadelphia. They'd love to meet you, so check out their website, and their upcoming event schedule, at indyhall.org.
