1h ago1:11:13

1:11:13

As we enter the final month of the 2025 season, things look pretty bleak for the Ravens and their playoff chances. But... a win Sunday at Cincinnati, plus a little bit of help from around the league would be all it would take to inject some hope that they could actually turn things around. Jake and Spenny are here to discuss what it will take to ge…

1h ago1:15:27

1:15:27

Giving the creator of Coupling and Joking Apart the Doctor Who showrunner job was bound to bring problems - unless of course that's the man the BBC wanted in charge of the programme. Presented by J.R. Southall, with Jon Arnold and Matt BarberBy StrangersCast

43m ago1:13:58

1:13:58

Huge news out of Camden Yards, as the Orioles have signed 31 year old first baseman Pete Alonso to a 5 year, $155 million dollar contract! After years of talk from this front office about opening up David Rubenstein's checkbook to spend money on the free agent market (and intervening swings and misses on big targets), the O's have finally landed th…

Episode 53: “Where You Stand Depends on Where You Sit” | SWAN Impact Network Board Member John Jeffers on the State of CleanTech, Strategic Exit Models for Energy Startups, and Finding Opportunity Amidst ... 47:56

5d ago47:56

47:56

Today's episode explores three ideas that caught my attention: It’s weird we measure data centers measured in gigawatts – John’s observation that we tend to discuss data centers based on their power consumption vs their computational output was fascinating – it’s like buying a car based on annual fuel consumption instead of its true utility. Geogra…

INSTANT ANALYSIS: Ravens Blow it at Homes vs. Steelers, 27-22 1:04:31

3h ago1:04:31

1:04:31

With the AFC North hanging in the balance, the Ravens made it clear going into today's game that they'd be treating it like a playoff outing. If more than half of their playoff performances in the Lamar Jackson era are the measuring stick for that, that's exactly what they did. A frustrating first half that included stalled offensive drives, turnov…

1:12:00

As the homestretch of the NFL season arrives, the fate of the AFC North is decidedly murky.

Film Club Extra: One Battle After Another 23:58

7d ago23:58

23:58

Paul Thomas Anderson has made what Wiki are describing as a "black comedy action thriller film", but would we find it as hard to describe how we felt about One Battle After Another as they struggled to say what it is? Presented by J.R. Southall, with Matt Barber and Luke MolloyBy StrangersCast

19d ago39:20

39:20

Today's episode explores three ideas that caught my attention: Film investment isn't always about ROI maximization – Many of Catherine's investors measure success by impact and community, not returns. Fundraising is a community-driven exercise - "You're not asking for yourself" reframes the entire process as mission-driven rather than personal. Thi…

The Ravens season on the brink continues, as they outlast the Cleveland Browns to the tune of a nail-biting one score win at Huntington Bank Field.

The Ravens have been on a tear recently, and are one win away from making up their 1-5 start by getting back to .500.

The guys fire up the livestream to at long last discuss some Orioles baseball following the dawn of a new era at Camden Yards.
