Brittany, your unwavering work and reporting have made a profound impact on the lives of those in the ACJ; you've shined a light on the lives lost in the jail; you've forced officials to make much needed changes. I'm honored to know you. Thank you!

Hi, Pittsburgh. My heart is full with gratitude and sadness when I say I am stepping down as director of @PINJNews. Good things are on the horizon for both me and @jodydiperna, who will keep the platform alive after my departure.

My social media bio line says "Public Radio Lifer." Well that portion of my life is over after 46 years (the first 34 at WDUQ). Today is my last at WESA bc management has canceled The Confluence and terminated @marylee_will's @LauraTsutsui's and my jobs.

Will there be a new show to replace it? Our region needs strong reporting like The Confluence! 😢

@VoteRockey is the Republican nominee for Allegheny County Executive…he’s trying to break a 20 year Democratic grip on that office. We discuss public safety, economic development and more

During this final week of our show we're bringing back some favorites. There is still a lot of summer left for you to work on your Pittsburgh outdoors to do list. I talk with journo @rossilynne, author of 100 Things To Do in Pittsburgh Before You Die
