Bone Rooms, Power Outages & Primanti’s ‘Stolen’ Art

Pittsburgh International Airport (briefly) lost power during the big storm last week – something that wasn't supposed to happen because of our first-of-its-kind microgrid. With more bad weather on the horizon, host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo explain how likely this is to happen again, and why PIT is usually the envy of other airports when it comes to backup power. We also discuss some legal updates involving Primanti's, our "Big Five" nonprofits, and ICE, plus Pittsburgh's role in discovering new dinosaurs.
