We’re just one week away from Election Day. In a polarizing political climate, how do you know if the news you are consuming is accurate and reliable? We’re looking back at a conversation host Trenae Nuri had with Andrea Wenzel, author and associate professor at Temple University’s Klein College of Media and Communication, about the ways we can spot the difference between real news, fake news, and a kind of disinformation called “pink slime.” Wenzel also authored the book, Antiracist Journalism: The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News.  Want some more Philly news?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
