i95

Does Josh Shapiro's budget-time support of school vouchers show he's got political game to match his inspiring I-95 crisis management?

The I-95 overpass collapse last week was not the first catastrophe associated with Philly’s stretch of interstate. In fact, it's old news.

The Astronauts want you to let your lamp light shine on their Facebook Page. Melissa makes more resolutions that may or may not include murdering Dace Russell and Alex gives us a peak into how he would  handle the I-95 pileup. Also, shout out to our sole listener in Hesse Germany. 

This episode is a discussion about the recent weather debacle on I-95 in Virginia and the lessons learned from it.

Scotch coolers, PF Flyers, plastic fishing rods and Brownie cameras.

This can only mean one thing:

Mid-century family vacation!
 
Were you there?

Or would you like a peek?

Come on, let’s take a drive back in time.

That is, until the car breaks down.

The Buckeye Invitational Truck Show took place this past weekend with an impressive musical lineup and more. We’ll have that, plus: Roadcheck slows down load postings and rates; diesel prices drop for the second week in a row; a House Transportation Committee member who lost his primary; and a Senate hearing on autonomous vehicles’ effect on our highways.

Where can you find a teacup, the molar of a goat, and an arrowhead all in one place? At an urban archaeology site, that’s where. This episode of Distillations goes underground, and reveals the fascinating worlds beneath our city shoes.

First, we visit an artifact processing lab where volunteers are dusting off thousands of objects from a historic street in Philadelphia. Then we stop in on an excavation site alongside Interstate 95.

Then, we'll talk to Doug Mooney, a senior archaeologist at URS corporation and the president of the Philadelphia Archaeological Forum, and Deirdre Kelleher, an archaeologist finishing her doctorate at Temple University. They describe their experiences with public archaeology, debunk a few of the field’s myths (no dinosaurs here, folks) and describe the unique process of digging in cities.
