Description
In our weekly politics episode, host Trenae Nuri talks with Ernest Owens, political writer for Philadelphia Magazine, who was the first reporter to break the news that the Sixers shockingly scrapped a plan to build an arena downtown next to Chinatown. They discuss what this says about who’s in control of the city – billionaires, not elected officials – and the political implications of it all.
