Your Guide to Making Friends in Pittsburgh

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

It can be daunting to make new friends in Pittsburgh. Lots of people are still tight with their buddies from kindergarten, and it's not always easy to break in as a newcomer. But a bunch of local groups have popped up to help transplants, boomerangers, and even lifelong residents find community. Haley Ingersoll of Pittsburgh Social Health, Dan Lampmann of Yinz Run Club, and local author Ryan Rydzewski join us to share their best tips for building community in the Burgh. Read Ryan's story on making local friends in Pittsburgh Magazine. **This episode originally aired on June 3, 2025. Become a member of City Cast Pittsburgh at membership.citycast.fm.
