Iceburgh Loaf Pan, Fetterman's GOP Lovefest & Pittsburgh Remembers 9/11

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Western PA was directly affected: one of the hijacked planes crashed into a field in Shanksville — around 80 miles outside Pittsburgh — killing 40 passengers and crew members. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and creative producer Boen Wang (in his podcast debut) discuss memories from that day, how new generations are learning about the attacks, and ways to commemorate the anniversary. Plus, we discuss Sen. John Fetterman's surprise video appearance at the GOP midterm convention, the best giveaways you can snag from our local sports teams (including a singing Jeff Jimerson bobblehead), and the new teaser trailer for "The Pitt." And in today's members-only segment, we're talking about "Butler," a new movie about the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump that's being filmed…in Beaver? (That's not the only reason we have questions.) **Notes and references from today’s show:** - Effects still reverberate at Pittsburgh International Airport 25 years after Sept. 11 \[Triblive] - Designer of Flight 93 memorial receptive to changes \[Post-Gazette] - Flight 93 National Memorial Livestream \[Youtube] - Remembering the 9/11 Attacks in Pittsburgh \[City Cast Pittsburgh] - Pittsburgh Pirates Giveaways \[MLB] - Pittsburgh Penguins Theme Nights and Giveaways \[NHL] - Tuck into a Pittsburgh twist on pigs in a blanket and other new eats at Acrisure Stadium \[Post-Gazette] - Celebrate the Steelers Home Opener, Pittsburgh Style \[Pittsburgh Magazine] - Fetterman praises Trump, McCormick in appearance at Republican convention \[WESA] - John Fetterman’s RNC Video Appearance \[YouTube] - PODCAST: The Latest John Fetterman Bombshell, Explained \[City Cast Pittsburgh] - "The Pitt" Season 2 Teaser \[YouTube] - Pennsylvania emergency room visits among the nation’s longest \[Axios] - Citizens Live at the Wylie sets preview event for Sept. 28 \[Pittsburgh Business Times] 👋 Wanna talk to us about an episode?
