It’s our Friday News Round up. We’re talking about why everyone arrived late to work and school this week, more SEPTA cuts happening September 1, Philly public school teachers have a tentative deal (but school SAFETY officers are threatening to strike), and where you can get the new $100 cheesesteak. Host Trenae Nuri and executive producer Matt Katz chat about these stories and more.
