Summer events are well underway in the steel city, and Anthrocon — a perennial Pittsburgh staple — retuned last weekend for a four-day event at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center.

Organizers projected a record 19,000 attendees, the highest amount since the event debuted in 1997.

Megan Swift joins Anna Mares to talk about the background of the furries’ journey to Pittsburgh and the Anthrocon experience.

This is the latest episode of “From the Newsroom.”
