Nazi Radio, Your NFL Draft Questions & Pgh’s Indoor Pool Returns

00:00:00
View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

Antisemitic and racist messages have been broadcast over a police radio channel — along with death threats against Mayor Corey O'Connor — but we don't know who's behind them. Host Megan Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk are with City Cast contributor and TribLive reporter Colin Williams to share what we know about the investigation so far. They also dig into the mailbox and answer your questions about the NFL Draft and improvements Downtown. Finally, they celebrate some big local wins, from Oliver Bath House reopening to Noah Wyle sweeping awards for his portrayal of Dr. Robby in "The Pitt."
