Peregrine’s Fate, Audacy Debt & A Little Pittsburgh Snow
It’s the Friday news roundup! After a week with a few hints of winter, the team got curious about how Pittsburgh’s recent snowfall compares to previous years. Today we’re chatting through a few local winter retreat ideas, the latest on Audacy’s bankruptcy filing and how it may affect a bunch of local radio stations, and the unfortunate fate of our favorite Pgh-made, would-be, moon lander. Poor little Peregrine!
