Philly Proud Boy Freed, New Experiment for Kensington, E-A-G-L-E-S!
Description
It’s the Friday News Roundup! The team is talking about the new court opening in Kensington, how President Trump just let Philly’s top Proud Boy out of prison, and Mayor Parker’s spelling slip-up. Plus, if the Eagles win Sunday we get a Super Bowl. Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Matt Katz, executive producer of City Cast Philly, and Siani Colon, newsletter editor of Hey Philly. Go Birds!

- Trump commutes sentences of Jan. 6 rioters, including former Philadelphia Proud Boys leader
