I, for one, did not realize how many times Philly could have prioritized creating a nice bus terminal, but chose not to, until we taped this episode with @IngaSaffron.

I learned a lot from this conversation with @malcolmburnley. Not just about the Mütter Museum, and the many people the collection there touches, but also more generally how museums are grappling with the shady practices that fed their collections. Check it out!

Philly's smoking bars a a holdover from a different time.

Head to McGlinchey's Bar with @TrenaeNuri, @billy_penn 's Ali Mohsen, and McGlinchey's owner Shelly Sokol, to hear how they persist and what will be lost when they're gone.
