President Trump is expected in Pittsburgh today to tout a "planned partnership" between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel. Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk are joined by Axios Pittsburgh's Ryan Deto to share what we know about the agreement and what questions still need to be answered when Trump holds his "BIG rally" at U.S. Steel's Irvin Works in West Mifflin. They also discuss John Fetterman's claims that he's been "shamed" into showing up for Senate votes and hearings, dig into a new report on city parks, and explain why nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital want to unionize. Plus, they debate whether Pittsburghers should race out to try Malört now that the polarizing liquor is available in PA.

City Cast Pittsburgh’s Megan Harris & Sophia Lo share some new news about the mayoral election (turnout wasn’t all bad?); why the South Side was transformed into an 1800s movie set (and how you can get involved); why Dick’s Sporting Goods is on a spending spree (sneakers and Skenes!); and how to get an Uber Eats coupon just for ordering Heinz.Notes and references from today’s show: Analyzing the voting data behind O’Connor’s Pittsburgh mayoral primary win — and Gainey’s loss [90.5 WESA] O’Connor routed Gainey in 14th Ward and consolidated opposition to unseat Pittsburgh mayor [PublicSource] Pennsylvania’s distracted driving law set to take effect [90.5 WESA] PA Law: Distracted Driving [pa.gov] New Pennsylvania law bans all handheld devices behind the wheel [WPVI] How Well Do You Know Pittsburgh?

Corey O'Connor won the Democratic primary — beating out incumbent mayor Ed Gainey. It's the second time in a row a challenger has defeated a sitting mayor, and O'Connor's almost guaranteed to win in November since the city hasn't elected a Republican mayor in nearly a century. The City Cast Pittsburgh team is running through the mayoral race and the rest of the primary results, including a school board race that's still too close to call.

Thanks to a quirk of Pennsylvania law, our 67 counties can’t start counting mail-in ballots until the polls open on election day. So while the rest of us head off to our respective polling places, everyone from the medical examiner to the street sweepers will be in a North Side warehouse opening envelopes and tallying up the votes. County communications director Abigail Gardner is here to explain what happens behind the scenes on election night and when we might know who wins, plus why Pittsburgh is better than Philly!
Need some last-minute help with your ballot? Check out our procrastinator's guide to the primary election!

A few weeks ago, New York Magazine dropped a bombshell story about U.S. Sen. John Fetterman — how the Democrat’s behavior has grown increasingly erratic, worrying many of his staff members and even prompting fights with his wife, Gisele. City Cast Pittsburgh’s Megan Harris and Mallory Falk talk about the story and all the reporting that’s popped since, plus what we know about how Pittsburgh voters are reacting.

Bad news this week for recreational cannabis fans, but good news for Steel Curtain stans. Kennywood’s newest steel coaster will open Memorial Day weekend, driverless trucks made in Pittsburgh are hitting Texas highways, there’s more pothole drama at Pittsburgh Mills mall, and the Pittsburgh Zoo has unveiled its giraffe enclosure renovations. Plus, we’re talking about why a few state bills — cannabis, school vouchers, early voting — can’t get off the ground, and whether we all have Max’s hit series "The Pitt" to thank for a big renovation at AGH.

Pittsburgh just went through a really bad storm — some of us went without power for a week — and our leaders declared disaster emergencies to get us extra help. But one of the key agencies that steps in after natural disasters is facing an uncertain future. President Trump just fired the head of FEMA and replaced him with someone who has no disaster response experience. We're bringing back host Megan Harris' conversation with Inside Climate News report Kiley Bense to discuss what it means for our state to face more threats from climate change as Trump considers cutting FEMA.

Officials say the raid at P*Town last weekend was an occupancy check — one they seemingly failed and which could put their liquor license in jeopardy. We're in the last stretch of the mayoral primary, and we’re talking about the group chat supporting incumbent Ed Gainey, a union call to remove the mayor’s COO for alleged anti-police bias, and criticism of Corey O’Connor for leaving a candidate forum early to attend a fundraiser. Plus, a famous Andy Warhol print seems to have ended up in Dutch trash, and there are a bunch of fun book events coming this weekend and beyond.

The Esplanade development project planned for the North Side is inching closer to fruition, but it could be 10 years before the multi-phase plan — including everything from a Ferris wheel to a marina — takes its final form in Chateau. Turning a partially empty space into a busy, beautiful waterfront site is exciting for many, but it also raises questions about whether existing neighbors can grow in tandem with its success. We’re bringing back a conversation with PublicSource’s Rich Lord and Eric Jankiewicz to talk about its history and all the hurdles it still has to go.
