| EP#22: RIB, SOUL & REN FESTIVALS, MORE BACH TRIP RECS, ALLEGHENY CO TAXES | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:26:52 | |
Alright, we’ll say it. We’ve never been to the Renaissance Festival nor have we really even looked into it. After doing way too deep of a dive into the events they’ve got throughout September, we think it’s fair to say that it sounds absolutely nuts but honestly pretty fun. Will we go ourselves?! Only time will tell.
Other items that only time will also tell? Where we go for Maria’s bach trip after getting 10 million recs from the folks online, how much Allegheny taxes are going to increase over the next 5 years with the new reassessment, and how badly our bellies might hurt after the Rib and Soul Food festivals.

| EP#21: WHO'S PREPPIEST IN PGH, FLOxKISMET, STRIP DISTRICT TO LARRY ZONING, | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:42:16 | |
Happy back to school to all who celebrate! We don't personally celebrate, but back to school season did have us thinking about what schools and townships are viewed as being the preppiest in Pittsburgh. So we put together a list of course!
After we got our tan on at Salom Kismet and got out tone on with Flo Yoga, we can officially say the poddy is proud to be working on pilates bodies. But believe us, if you're looking to make new friends and get a good workout in, you need to be doing the big group fitness events! Since we were in the Strip for the ladies tailgate, Maria made a phenomenal point that the whole area isn't just one spot but a combination of several tiny little districts. You'll see what we mean when you listen!

| EP#20: STEELERS TRAINING CAMP, LITTLE ITALY DAYS, WEDDING HOT TAKES & BACH TRIP RECS | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:45:55 | |
This almost feels like a Coke or Pepsi type of episode -- Dino's vs Sharky's, Nuh-trona vs Nay-trona, Luh-trobe vs Lay-trobe and gifts at an engagement party vs no gifts at an engagement party. Don't worry, we have thoughts on all of the above, along with our experience at Bloomfield's Little Italy Days, a look at this weekend's Banana Split Festival, Wine Festival and Water Lantern Festival!
Also important to note: we've got a newly engaged girl on the pod! Which means we'll be taking you all along as Maria gets all the details in place for one heck of a Western PA wedding.

| EP19: OUR FAV PGH JINGLES, PGH GIRL APPROVED GOLF COURSES | 12 Aug 2026 | 00:38:27 | |
Are you a girl? Do you like to golf but only want to play at places where you know you'll feel welcomed & not like your beginner to mid-level presence is a burden? Britt's tried out quite a few spots with her golf girl gang and lays out some of the best and worst.
We also break down some of Pittsburgh's most iconic jingles (and a few of our nationwide favs) as we reminisce on the good ole days! Are there any jingles we're forgetting? It's hard to remember them all when Thermotwin is putting out such bangers.
Last but not least we're talking Goo Goo Dolls, Little Italy Days, little person wrestling & Aaron Rodgers' big family reunion. Only on this pod can you get that mix of topics and it makes sense.

| EP18: CHURCH LADY PIEORGI (PIROHY), DEMON OF BROWNSVILLE RD HOUSE, MARIA BDAY, ULTIMATE HOUSE 7 FOR SALE, DRUNKEN BRAWLS | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:42:21 | |
If we sound absolutely insane in this episode, just know that Britt was given a slight concussion from a painting Maria put behind her so bare with us here. But it was Maria's birthweek so we're giving her a pass. We're talking the Festival of Nations, all the brawls that went down this past week between Steelers training camp and Tacos & Tequila, and the lure surrounding "The Demon House of Brownsville Road." If you've got $550k sitting around for a formerly haunted house and current bed & breakfast, you may be in luck!

| EP17: CONTROVERSY: JETS PIZZA & BARB THE EMU, THE PGH FITNESS SCENE, BUBBLES MANGIANELLO'S MEDITERRA COLLAB | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:49:20 | |
Today's episode feels almost like one of The Morning Freak Show's Florida stories. We've got a pizza being punted after 11 pm and Barb the emu being killed in our first airing of Controversy Corner. Much less controversial is Joe Mangianello & Caitlin O'Connor's chihuahua's collab with Mediterra to create the Bubbles Hot Honey Latte. We can't tell you how excited we are to try that one! Other hot topics include the explosion of Pittsburgh's group fitness scene, the Yinzer pronunciation of the word "eggs," and your lineup of things to do this week with our commentary on each, of course.

| EP16: PURPLE RAIN SMOKESHOW, GOAT FEST, LAUREL HIGHLANDS MECCA & GOKARTS! | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:38:39 | |
What a freakin' WEEK this past one was! @pittsburghpersonified said it best -- we can't eat the lettuce, go outside or go east of the city. Could the Canadian wildfire smoke really have been that much worse than smog from the steel mills? The millenial/Gen Z world may never know but we do know it certainly didn't stop Picklesburgh, the Zeli Horse Trading Days or the PVGP. This coming week we've got Goat Fest in the South Side, a convo about Laurel Highlands being the premiere spot for a day trip from the city and a whole lot more.

| EP15: PICKLESBURGH, PVGP, BIG BOY, BBQ, PARASITES & THE TURNERS ICED TEA PLUNGE | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:37:00 | |
Has there ever been a more Yinzer episode title than this one? We hope so but doubt it. There's a little something for everyone in the burgh this week between the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix and Picklesburgh. Something that's not for everyone: the frickin cyclopsoriasis that's going around and ruining tummies. Wash your hands and produce, people! After being absolutely slaughtered in our IG & TikTok comments, Britt is embarking on a BBQ adventure and had a greatttt first stop on her PGHBBQ tour.

| EP14: "I WISH PGH HAD..." 4TH OF JULY, MEETING STEIDL, WAVE POOL, KAHAN & CON | 07 Jul 2026 | 00:48:44 | |
Happy belated bday America :) What an absolute time to be alive. We had some great 4th of July festivities this week but our biggest ticket item was finishing this sentence: "I wish Pittsburgh had..." What we learned is that a LOT of people love basketball and not a lot of people love the incline. It is what it is.

| LUCKY NUMBER 13: RUCK YA, SCHWEBELS NO, CAPE MAY YA, STARLAKE PARKING NO | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:51:32 | |
Andddd we're back! We took a quick trip to the absolutely stunning streets of Cape May and ate. it. up. Go there if you haven't. Lots & lots went down back in the 'burgh this week between the Pens going under new ownership, Schwebels' bread going under no ownership, one of Britt's favorite people losing his job, the draft of the Ruck twins -- the list goes on & on! Listen in for alllll of this + where to watch fireworks and a few tips & tricks to having better Starlake concert experiences.

| NUMBER 12: COWBOYS, JULY CONCERTS, BRITT | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:32:25 | |
If there's one thing we love, it's summer. And what comes with summertime? Concerts. We've got your lineup of the big dogs coming to Pittsburgh in July! Just don't forget to get refundable tickets in case it storms & your fav artist pulls a Wallen. Summer also brings lots of salad cravings so we dug deeper into the history of the beloved PGH salad.
More importantly than anything else, Maria finally let Britt go off about one of her favorite topics: Richard Bazzy at Schults Ford. YEEHAW!

| NUMBER 11: ARTS, BEER & FOODIE FESTS, WAHHHHH-LLEN & THE PGH SALAD | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:47:21 | |
People who don't think summer is the best season are plain wrong. Ella Fellas, Langley ladies and people who bought tickets to see Morgan Wallen have every right to be upset. But people who don't like Pittsburgh salads... are nuts. This week we've got Bandaloos, more Gennings Dunker, a pig house and the lineup of everywhere you'll want to go this week.

| NUMBER 10: WEDDING COOKIE TABLE, JAM & JIMMIES ON WALNUT AND WALLEN! | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:54:35 | |
If you've made it to episode 10, thanks for keeping with us because this is one of our wiliest chats yet. It's a sweet one too as we took a deep dive into the history of the Pittsburgh wedding cookie table AND the real difference between jimmies and sprinkles. Looking forward to Wallen weekend and more of the best weather ever but also looking back at the coolest little blue moon and the end of an era with Jam on Walnut. If anyone knows the Romper Stomper, tell her we want to meet her.

| NUMBER 9: MDWASHOUT, PIG HILL AKA RIALTO ST, HUCKSTERS & FARMER MARKET FRENZY | 26 May 2026 | 00:36:12 | |
"The Air Freshener" has made its inaugural debut! It was a wet weather week in the 'burgh for MDW but we've got good weather and great vibes on the horizon. It's farmers market season, baby! We're talking about all our favorites, especially when it comes to night markets in every part of town we could find. What couldn't we find nearly enough history about, you ask? Rialto Street (AKA one of the steepest streets we know) used to be a ravine... where pigs were forced to the top to go to slaughterhouses?! Gotta love some Pigsburgh history.
Quote of the Week: "Maybe we'll go on vaca starting August 28th, then stay the 29th, 30th, 31st, 32nd, 33rd, 34th, and 35th?" Guess who HA

| NUMBER 8: PODDY IN PARIS: STEELERMANIA, SOUTH SIDE STORIES, GREEK FESTIVAL SZN, THE WALNUT ST RAT | 19 May 2026 | 00:42:43 | |
Poddy in Paris for the Steelers / Saints game on October 25th? Sounds like a biggg ole yes to us. Lots of updates in the football world this week with the Bos and Aaron Rodgers extending their contracts and the schedule announcements coming out. Somehow, Britt is more excited for local Greek food festivals than the idea of Paris and Maria is a nervous wreck about a recent rat report. Above all else, our correspondents across the region gave their best (and worst) stories from the South Side this week and we weren't surprised to hear some responses, but were shocked for others. What we want to hear from you: where are the best fitness classes in Pittsburgh?! Anything you think we should try?

| NUMBER 7: WE LOVE PGH LAW FIRMS, SHORE THING & SKATE THE SQUARE, WHO DOESN'T KNOW CATHY | 12 May 2026 | 00:45:53 | |
This episode, without a doubt, will show you absolutely how unhinged we become when talking about our favorite Pittsburgh law firms. You know who we're talking about (I'm looking at you, Edgar). We had a week filled with lots and lots of visits to local shops and restaurants, PLUS we're pumped for a PGH summer complete with a trip to the William Penn Tavern apparently, Shore Thing & Market Square for "Skate the Square."
We want to hear from you: Is it common knowledge that Pitt's Cathedral of Learning is nicknamed "Cathy"? It's news to us that some born & bred Pittsburghers aren't aware of this & we need to do a wellness check on the rest of the city now.
Quote of the Week: "All I want for Mother's Day is a hike and two hot dogs from Sheetz"

| NUMBER 6: MARATHON, BAD BATHROOMS, YINZERS RUNNING INTO YINZERS, RIP SPIRIT & SMOKEY BONES | 05 May 2026 | 00:45:34 | |
It was marathon week in Pittsburgh but this week felt like a sprint. Congrats to PGH's own Will Loevner who won the men's marathon and especially for all the runners who accepted jello shots whilst running up and down city streets and bridges. You're all wild. But not as wild as some of the stories we heard after posing the question: "what's a bathroom in Pittsburgh you won't use unless it's an absolute emergency?" Wow, wow, wow. Our fav quote? "My glorious cheeks never touch the porcelain raw." Outside of the bathroom, we ran into a ton of old friends and Maria (and Arnold Palmer airport) ran into trouble with the announcement of Spirit Airlines' closing. It's May and it's MAD out here!

| NUMBER 5: THE DRAFT, HINES WARD & HEINZ, WHERE'S DAYA, LIVING IN A WIENERMOBILE FOR A YEAR & $20+ BEER | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:45:35 | |
We miss you already, NFL Draft! Us and 800,000 of our closest friends have a good ol' time going dahntahn for the biggest weekend this city's seen. The only thing missing was Maria's Mt Lebo idol, Daya. We got our butts kicked at Mind, Body, Yoga + Barre but definitely made it up to ourselves with a nice little spring trip to Sarris. Potentially the best part of the week (besides the draft itself), you ask? Meeting THE Hines Ward and the drivers of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile at a Heinz/Hines Draft Kickoff Party at Settler's Ridge Market District. Meeting Hines was great but Britt missed out on a chance to meet Ray Petelin from KDKA and still will not shutup about how upset she is. Will we ever have this much fun again? We frickin hope so!

| NUMBER 4: DUCKS & BUCS & PUCKS, DRAFT WEEK LOWDOWN, LOW SPIRIT (AIRLINES), DEAD RHINO & THE GREAT GREENSBURG DEBATE | 21 Apr 2026 | 00:40:58 | |
It's a hockey AND football week in Pittsburgh! And we're pumped for (mostly) all of it. We're talking about all the NFL Draft events we think will be the most fun. Maria's talking about Steve Aoki and Britt isn't because she is just learning who he is. We're talking Friday night Pirates with the Zambelli fireworks show. We're talking Live! Casino Pittsburgh? And you better believe we're talking about Maria's Spirit Airlines flight likely getting canceled and Jomo the sweet lil rhino crossing the rainbow rhino bridge. Godspeed this week, Pittsburgh!

| NUMBER 3: BRING BACK THE PENS BIG SCREEN, STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD IS THAT GIRL, MICHELIN GUIDE COMING TO TOWN, TREES LEAVING TOWN | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:37:47 | |
Welcome back, yinzers. Introducing: the weeky-reeky, AKA our weekend recap, which was a mix of candle-making and downtown tomfoolery, walking the Waterfront, having a few bevvys at Grist House Command and thinking way too much about Mayor Corey O'Connor doing cannonballs. Your average yinzer girl weekend, if you will. Also in this episode we share way too many thoughts on the Michelin Guide ranking PGH restaurants and an item that our mom could 100% be ranked for in the Michelin Guide (strawberry pretzel salad, duh). We're hoping/praying/dreaming that the big screen makes its way back for Pens Playoffs and we also can't wait for the North Shore's trees to find their way home. All that and a bag of chips! | |||
| NUMBER 2: MR PITTSBURGH, HEINZ GOT SPICY, THE POINT FAHNTAIN, BATS IN THE CAVE | 12 Apr 2026 | 00:36:00 | |
The most aptly named of all, this is episode number two. Ha. Maria can't stop thinking about Pittsburgh icon Mr. Pittsburgh, Britt is obsessed with Laurel Caverns being PA's first underground state park and we're both trying to see the new and improved fountain at Point State Park immediately. Heinz is dropping new ketchup flavors like it's hot and Primanti's is dropping locations left and right outside of the city. Not a dull day in this city and definitely never a dull day in our brains!

What's up yinzers?! Our first episode is here just in time for 412 Day. Tune in as your favorite blonde sisters in the 'Burgh, Brittany & Maria Claybaugh as we talk Pirates opening day, *hoisting* the cone, who can say they're from Pittsburgh, and most importantly... the baller t-shirts we buy at local grocery stores. Oh yeah, we hit on the weather too. Everything you need in a weekly show about everything & nothing in the best city around!
