    They say that basketball never stops, and that has been more evident than before in the early going of this NBA regular season, where he who fakes an injury and takes a couple weeks off might lose playing time forever. But Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are in no mood to lose any minutes and are right back at it this week to provide all the knowledge of what we have learned (or think we have learned) in the first two weeks. Why are the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers so good, and do some big names have to give up their minutes for the sake of team success? Which head coach gets fired first in the sprint for the pink slip between the Wizards' Brian Keefe and the Pelicans' Willie Green? Is Victor Wembenyama leaping ahead in the MVP race as the Spurs surge to first in the league in net rating? Riche and Adam also discuss the Magic's struggles, the Ja Morant situation turning toxic in Memphis, the free throw attempt boom in the league, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 364 with the NBA-Team!

    This week we're doubling up the drama (and the sugar) as we dive into Dessert Week and Pâtisserie Week from Series 16 of The Great British Bake Off! From burnt Basque cheesecakes and wobbly free-standing trifles to towering macaron sculptures, it's been a wild ride on the road to the final. Mirandia and Ben break down who rose to the occasion, who melted under pressure, and which moments had us shouting at the screen. It's two weeks' worth of pastry, panic, and pure Bake Off chaos—served with a side of laughter and a dash of judgment. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let's talk all things sweet, stressful, and semi-final-worthy! PS. Ben says "IT IS NOT A QUARTER FINAL!!".
