4.6 out of 5 stars from 228 ratings
  • Cannot stand Sophia

    Sophia brings my rating down by at least 2 stars. Her disdain for the region is so consistantly evident. Please, if you hate everything so much because it’s different than where you’re from, go back to Philly or wherever. Everything Sophia says is a downer and makes this show miserable. She adds nothing of substance, just a rain cloud on the show.

  • Advertising for landlords?

    Loved this podcast until they started advertising for platforms geared toward landlords and property management companies. Do better. Tenants are in crisis. Let’s not make landlords’ jobs easier.

  • Fantastic resource for new Yinzers

    My husband and I just moved to the city and we’ve made this podcast a daily listen. The hosts and guests are realistic and personable, the “what to do this week/weekend” tips are great, and we love when they cover basic-but-necessary topics like how to drive in Pittsburgh or how to eat out on a budget.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pittsburgh’s Best BBQ
Q: Colin, what do you look for when evaluating Pittsburgh barbecue spots?
He looks for a complete package: well-cooked tender meats, standout sides, and distinct sauce styles, with a preference for places that honor regional traditions while still reflecting Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
UPMC Didn't Challenge Trump, So These Pittsburgh Families Did
Q: What are the key legal grounds for quashing the subpoena?
We argued constitutional privacy interests require a compelling reason to override patient privacy, and we also claimed the DOJ acted in bad faith, seeking to end gender-affirming care rather than conduct a legitimate health care fraud investigation.
UPMC Didn't Challenge Trump, So These Pittsburgh Families Did
Q: Why did you decide to file the case in Pittsburgh specifically?
We filed on behalf of patients to protect their privacy rights when the hospital system hadn't taken up the fight, aiming to ensure the legal process safeguards their records regardless of the hospital's actions.
More Airbnbs in Pittsburgh?
Q: What are the enforcement challenges?
Enforcement is largely complaint-driven, with limited ability for the city to preempt problems, and concerns about how to monitor licensing, guest lists, and local managers.
More Airbnbs in Pittsburgh?
Q: Is regulation expected to help or hinder the market?
Regulations are seen as a way to create a clearer paper trail and address concerns about parties and safety, though owners and Airbnb argue they already have some safeguards.
