About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming city budget, trash management rethinking, and provides a festival checklist for Philadelphia events.

In the next month, the city is expected to pass a budget, host major sporting events, kick off semiquincentennial commemorations, and eventually clean up from all the parties. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by senior producer Abby Fritz and Circa Systems co-founder and CEO Nic Esposito to talk through the proposed taxes and fiscal decisions driving discourse around how Philly will make and spend money. This past weekend, The Roots Picnic and Porch Fest kicked off festival season, and we created your next outdoor festival checklist. Plus, the city has a unique chance to rethink how our trash is disposed of. Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.
