It’s the Friday news roundup! Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Oliver Sabo, reporter at The Temple News, Philadelphia Inquirer political reporter Chris Brennan, and City Cast Philly lead producer Laura Benshoff. They discuss the sudden passing of Temple’s acting president, JoAnne A. Epps, and her legacy at the university. And, they cover what to expect from the newly announced mayoral debate, as well as why a buzzy South Philly bagel shop is closing its doors.
