Our Favorite Episodes & an Ode to Franco Harris
As 2022 draws to a close, the City Cast team is sitting down to revisit some of our best episodes from the past year. From a flight of city steps to the field at Steelers training camp, we’re rounding up some of our favorite interviews and field trips.
Plus, we pay tribute to Franco Harris, who died just days before the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception.
Our favorite episodes include:
- The First Public Transportation in Pgh? City Steps
- Pgh’s Chinatown (Finally) Gets Historic Recognition
- Talking Internet Safety with ASMR Artist Lily Whispers
- Meet the Pgh Tattoo Artist Covering Up Hate
- Road Trip: Your Guide to Steelers Training Camp
We also mention signing up for a City Steps Walking Tour. You can learn more on the Mis.Steps website.
