Host Trenae Nuri talks with Stephen Caruso, who covers politics at the state capitol for SpotlightPA, and Megan Harris, host of our sister podcast City Cast Pittsburgh, to break down how this delay could affect us all.   Get Philly news & events in your inbox with our newsletter: Hey Philly Call or text us: 215-259-8170 We're also on Instagram: @citycastphilly Learn more about the sponsors of this episode: Babbel Framebridge Scribe Video Center  Advertise on the podcast or in the newsletter: citycast.fm/advertise Learn more about your ad choices.

She discusses managing a $5 billion backlog, navigating tight budgets, and completing major bridge replacements without disrupting the system. They also dig into mentorship, cross-department collaboration, and why showing up for your team and your industry still matters. A sharp, candid look at leading in public infrastructure, with a few laughs along the way.

This week The Bols discuss Jim Jones Vs. Nas, SEPTA raising prices, a mans worth, the problem with the Sixers and more!

More than 9,000 city workers from the District Council 33 union went on strike Tuesday — and that means there's no residential trash pick-up until the union comes to terms on a contract with Mayor Cherelle Parker. Striking city workers keep the city running in a variety of ways, so in addition to sanitation the work stoppage means longer wait times for 9-1-1, earlier closing times for rec centers, and so much more. Host Trenae Nuri talks the latest on the strikers' demands with executive producer Matt Katz and producer Abby Fritz. Plus, news on Congressman Dwight Evans' retirement and the ongoing budget crisis that could slash SEPTA service. Plus some good news: The WNBA is coming to Philly in 2030, and we've curated a list of potential team names.    Get Philly news & events in your inbox with our newsletter:⁠ Hey Philly⁠ Call or text us: ⁠215-259-8170⁠ We're also on Instagram:⁠ @citycastphilly⁠ Learn more about the sponsors of this episode: ⁠Eastern State Penitentiary⁠ ⁠Rothman Orthopaedic Institute⁠ ⁠Jeff D'Ambrosio Auto Group⁠  Advertise on the podcast or in the newsletter: ⁠citycast.fm/advertise⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this rich, funny, and occasionally hair-raising conversation we drill down into the how of navigating chaos — on a subway platform, in a corporate boardroom, and inside your own nervous system.Trigger warning: there's a conversation about suicide at about 15 minutes into the episode. Skip to minute 17 if you want to avoid this section.Here's a tasting menu of our conversation:Gang manuals & purple binders – How a Quaker-adjacent conflict resolution course turned a 15-year-old troublemaker into a group dynamics geek.From union hall to board hall – Lessons learned refereeing SEPTA labor fights and why the same “rubber-and-glue” listening works on Zoom stand-ups.OARS in rough water – Using Motivational Interviewing (Open questions, Affirmations, Reflections, Summaries) to defuse rage, whether from a bus driver or the voice in your own head.Simulated danger, real breakthroughs – How well-designed role-plays can heal trauma if you hold the container (and what happens when a participant suddenly starts to undress).Signs you're in a chaotic system – Chronic absenteeism, cortisol tummy, “my work doesn't matter” syndrome, and 70% burnout in tech.Habit > culture – A shout-out to Paul Gibbons, Prochaska & DiClemente, and the myth of top-down culture change.Martial arts as somatic therapy – TaeKwonDo to Muay Thai to boxing; what Zach saw when veterans laid down their canes and kids in shelters stopped fighting.Virtual heartbreak – Coaching a Kharkiv dev team while missiles shook their bomb shelter.Chaos surfing 101 – Why you don't control chaos, you ride it; plus simple team-level practices to build collective resilience.TakeawaysName the elephant first. Start every workshop by voicing the resistance in the room; it evaporates faster than you'd think.Watch for survival mode. Tight shoulders, skipped meals, rolling eyes? Slow down before you roll out another initiative.Move the meat-sack. Five minutes of mindful movement (shadow-boxing, Tai-Chi, hallway laps) resets the neuro-chemistry better than another latte.Change habits, not slogans. Draft tiny incentives that make the preferred behavior the easy behavior; culture follows.Links & ResourcesZach on LinkedIn – the easiest place to connect and geek out about behavioral science.Red Kite Project – trauma-informed organizational change (Charlotte DiBartolomeo).AFSC Help Increase the Peace curriculumBooksPeter Levine – Waking the TigerBessel van der Kolk – The Body Keeps the ScorePaul Gibbons –

The rate went down slightly, but Philadelphia still saw its second-highest year for drug overdose deaths in 2023. State lawmakers want the owners of Crozer Health — Prospect Medical Holdings — to give back the millions they received to keep the now-closing hospitals open. SEPTA, meet SWEPTA. Also, the 250th anniversary of the country's founding won't be the only thing Philadelphia's celebrating soon.

A popular apple juice sold in Pennsylvania has been recalled. SEPTA is cracking down on fare evaders. The last bear season drew in a pretty big harvest. Lastly, these towns want new residents so bad, they'll pay you to move there.

It was a historic visit, just the second ever to Philadelphia by the pontiff, and in the days since Pope Francis' passing, memories of his time here in September 2015 are being cherished that much more fondly.

According to Mike, there are three elements of a good leader. To lead by example, to inspire the people, and to serve the people. If you can't fulfill those duties, you don't deserve to be leadership.We follow up our last conversation with some updates from the ongoing fight to save the Cecil B. Moore Library in North Philly, some commentary on our criminal legal system and the song and dance that is parole. Also, SEPTA's mismanagement problems will be making its way to riders throughout the tri-state who will inevitably be footing the bill.
