  • Not local and it shows. Spells Pitt with one p, pronounces names wrong, support local shows instead.

  • Not local

    Decent brief daily overview podcast, but the host isn’t from/doesn’t live in Pittsburgh. If a tiny selection of headlines are being highlighted, it seems important that the person making those decisions have the context of living in the city.

  • Are you a Pittsburgher?

    Good idea and put together well, but I can’t listen when you pronounce the locations incorrectly! I want to listen to a true Pittsburgher!
