| 0:00.0 | 93-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve show podcast. |
| 0:08.4 | And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano. |
| 0:13.1 | And it is Monday, June 21st. Good morning, Kathy. |
| 0:16.1 | Good morning. In the news this morning, a food festival in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood was canceled Sunday over a controversy that erupted over an inclusion of an Israeli-owned food service. |
| 0:26.4 | The Taste of Home Festival was supposed to be hosted by event partner Eat Up the Borders and |
| 0:30.7 | nonprofit Sunflower Philly at North Fifth Street. The restaurant, Moschava, was scheduled to take part |
| 0:35.7 | in the event, but after word came of planned protest and threats of violence, Moschava was disinvited. |

| 1:25.4 | disappointed with how the situation was greatly |
| 1:27.7 | mishandled, we do not believe the organizer's intention came from an anti-Semitic place, |
| 1:32.3 | but the threats they were receiving to the event were. Our shared goal for the future is to steer |
| 1:37.6 | away the violence and hatred and be able to share a platform with all members of our community |
| 1:43.1 | and collectively share our cultures. |
| 1:46.0 | Labor shortages are among the reasons American Airlines said it is being forced to cancel |
