  • Summary

  • NEXTpittsburgh’s first podcast “In Other News” is hosted by award-winning journalists Tony Norman and Natalie Bencivenga. Their warm, thoughtful rapport was built over the years spent together in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newsroom. In this new venture, they focus on all the news you need to know – but maybe haven’t heard about elsewhere, as well as discussions of the state of the media and ways to activate listeners to become engaged with issues that matter to them. They share hot takes on local and national issues, politics and pop culture and welcome a guest each episode to drill down on topics that center justice while illuminating ways to strengthen our communities.
