We're continuing our breakdowns of potential Philadelphia Flyers draft picks at #6, with a look today at Porter Martone.If Martone falls to the Flyers, would it make sense for Danny Briere to select the winger over a much-needed center?Plus, more on Ian Laperrière and the change at the helm behind the bench in Allentown.
First: Donald Trump is aggressively using the power of the pardon to let loyalists off the hook, especially conservatives he claims - baselessly - were pursued by the Biden Justice Department for political reasons. The latest example: a reality TV couple convicted in a $30 million fraud scheme. Plus: Trump is clearly getting fed up with Vladimir Putin's seeming unwillingness to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. But will the president actually punish Russia? And: John King talks with Trump supporters in Allentown, Pennsylvania to get their take on the president's trade war. Do these voters really think the president will bring manufacturing back as he's promising? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Send us a textThe American housing market stands at a critical inflection point. With median home prices reaching an unprecedented peak of $387,600 and mortgage rates hovering around 6.76%, monthly housing payments have hit a record $2,868 for typical buyers. Despite these challenging conditions, regional markets are telling dramatically different stories that savvy investors need to understand.Washington DC has experienced a stunning 25% surge in active listings—the highest since 2015—largely driven by federal workforce reductions. Meanwhile, Florida's once-booming market has cooled significantly, with median prices dropping 1.7% year-over-year, the steepest decline in over a decade. In California, San Diego's shift toward a buyer's market is evident with more than half of homes selling below asking price. These regional variations highlight the increasingly localized nature of real estate opportunities.Perhaps most telling is that nearly 7% of homes nationwide have seen price drops—the highest percentage on record—while 44.4% of recent sales include substantial seller concessions. The market is adapting, creating both challenges and opportunities for different players. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or invest, understanding these shifting dynamics is essential for making informed decisions. Ready to deepen your real estate expertise?

In this episode, the writer Garielle Lutz and host George Salis discuss turning the quotidian into art, the epistolary work of writers, the limits of vocabulary and the mispronunciation of words, how literary voices are extinguished in academic institutions, the lack of a serious readership, her fascination with individual sentences, her sense of bodily abstraction and how it has affected her life and writing, her late-life autism diagnosis, how she's a “freak-magnetic” in public, her ostensible Nobel Prize consideration, the work of Paul Schrader and other films, her troubled relationship with her mother, and much more.Garielle Lutz was born in Allentown, PA in 1955. Her most recent book is the nonfiction collection Backwardness (SF/LD). Her most recent short story collection is Worsted (now in its second printing from Calamari Archive). Previous books include The Gotham Grammarian (Calamari Archive) and The Complete Gary Lutz (Tyrant Books).

This week on Kliq This, Kevin Nash returns from the road with stories you won't want to miss — including a run-in with the viral sensation Angry Grandma and a peek behind the curtain at Astro Comic-Con. What happens when you mix a wrestling legend, some Juggalos, and a weekend in Ypsilanti? Let's just say… it gets colorful. With WrestleMania right around the corner, Kev breaks down his upcoming trip to Las Vegas: WrestleCon, Hall of Fame, and a few private signings that might just make some headlines. But don't expect him in the legends box — and don't ask him to pretend he enjoys Vegas crowds. This is Big Sexy unfiltered, and he's got some thoughts. Of course, we can't talk Mania season without addressing the elephant in the ring: the assassination of John Cena. Is WWE mishandling their biggest crossover star? Did they just bury a potential dream match? Kevin has a strong take — and it might not be what you expect. From Bron Breakker spears to whether Cody Rhodes is actually a heel in disguise, this episode digs into WWE's hottest storylines — but through the lens only Nash can provide. We're also talking MyRise in WWE 2K25, what makes a good promo, and why scripted segments are slowly sucking the soul out of wrestling. And if you're wondering what happens when Nash sees someone so stunning he forgets his Red Stripe? Or why he still cringes at modern promos delivered like monologues at a community theater audition? You'll want to hear every word. Kliq This drops every Monday — don't be late to the party.

(00:57) Step through the door of Dagny's Eatery in Carnegie and you'll quickly discover it's not just another sandwich shop. It's an extension of owner Dagny Como herself, who creates an atmosphere so welcoming you might forget you're not actually sitting in her home kitchen.Located on East Main Street, this cozy spot represents a brave pandemic-era pivot from banking to food entrepreneurship. Running a one-woman operation means Dagny handles everything—taking orders, preparing food, serving customers, and cleaning up—all while maintaining genuine conversations with everyone who walks through her door. "It's almost like you're performing," she explains, but this performance comes naturally as she multitasks with intuitive ease.(21:22) What makes the food special isn't complexity but attention to detail. From "The Ray" sandwich with its game-changing pepperoncini relish to the legendary "Daci Cake" (think Hostess cake "on steroids"), everything is made from scratch with care. Many items carry deep personal significance, like sandwiches named for her grandparents whose photos hang in the shop alongside family heirlooms that bring Dagny joy as she works.Beyond the daily menu of breakfast items, hot sandwiches, and made-from-scratch sweets, Dagny brings out her Blackstone grill during Carnegie's community events to serve smash burgers, hotdogs, and cheesesteaks. These gatherings represent everything she loves about her adopted neighborhood—its walkability, diverse businesses, and tight-knit support system. Whether you're a regular whose order she knows by heart or a first-time visitor, Dagny's passion for feeding people well shines through in every bite. (34:07) Later in the show, do you have that true favorite restaurant? Autumn Pawelec shares her love for Alla Famiglia in Allentown.

Get More LVWITHLOVE Content Guests: Kostas Hatalis Ph.D – Co-Founder, Alexander Labs; Developer of GoCharlie Paul Gosselin – Co-Founder, Alexander Labs In this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, host George Wacker sits down with Paul Gosselin and Kostas Hatalis of Alexander Labs, an AI incubator based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, that's putting the Lehigh Valley back on the innovation map. You'll hear how this growing team is not only building on-premise AI systems and custom large language models, but doing it all from the region that produced the world's first commercial transistors — long before the rise of Silicon Valley. From community collaboration and tech talent to data privacy and enterprise-level solutions, Alexander Labs is working to make AI accessible, secure, and proudly local. To learn more or get in touch, visit: https://alexanderlabs.ai Watch Episode https://youtu.be/onsjG6-KPBQ www.lvwithlove.com Thank you to our Partners! WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company Episode Recap Alexander Labs and the Future of AI in the Lehigh Valley “We built the first transistor here.” Kostas Hatalis opens with a bold statement: the Lehigh Valley isn't just a place with warehouses — it was the original Silicon Valley. The region manufactured the world's first commercial transistors in the 1940s, and yet few in tech today give it credit. That legacy is exactly what inspired Alexander Labs, an AI incubator based in Allentown that's trying to bring innovation back home. From Empty Space to AI Lab Paul Gosselin, co-founder of Alexander Labs, walks us through how the project started — with an empty room, a few whiteboards, and a wild idea. Paul had been running software companies when he met Kostas, a Lehigh Ph.D. who had already built his own large language model. They talked, they brainstormed, and soon they realized: “We need to create a lab. One that brings the community in and builds something real.” That idea became Alexander Labs — an incubator not just for AI startups, but for a smarter, more connected Lehigh Valley tech ecosystem. Meet GoCharlie: AI Built in Allentown One of Alexander Labs’ most exciting projects is GoCharlie, a next-generation AI assistant that can write, analyze, and support business operations. But what makes it special isn't just what it does — it's where and how it was built. GoCharlie's models are developed right in Allentown using an approach Kostas calls “small language models.” Instead of billion-dollar infrastructure, these models run on a single GPU or CPU, making them affordable, fast, and customizable for real businesses. In a world where companies send sensitive data into massive black-box systems like ChatGPT, GoCharlie offers something better: AI you can understand, control, and host locally. On-Prem AI and the Power of Local Alexander Labs is also building its own on-prem data center — allowing businesses to plug in directly and run GoCharlie inside their own walls. Paul calls it GoPrem — and it's already helping companies avoid relying on Silicon Valley giants for AI tools. “We're really focused on enterprise,” he says, “but it's more than that — we're helping companies get their data in order, whether structured or unstructured, so they can actually use AI meaningfully.” Cost, Control, and Trust Throughout the conversation, privacy and autonomy come up again and again. Alexander Labs isn't just building AI — they're building trust. Kostas explains how big tech companies are scraping public data to train their models, while businesses are becoming increasingly wary of handing over proprietary information. That's why localized, on-premise AI is such a key differentiator. “You can't just trust Microsoft or Google with everything,” Paul says. “We can offer the same kind of power — but right here in the Valley, with local partnerships and control.” Making the Lehigh Valley a New Kind of Tech Hub Despite the region's rich tech history, the Lehigh Valley hasn't been part of the AI conversation — until now. Alexander Labs is trying to change that. With support from Ben Franklin Technology Partners and other local initiatives, they're helping seed the next wave of innovation. “We're trying to build culture here,” Paul says. “It's not easy. But if we can keep talented students and young founders in the Valley, we can build something real.” What's Next? Looking ahead, the conversation shifts to the future of AI. Kostas explains that the next wave isn't just smarter chatbots — it's AI agents: autonomous systems that can do real work across tools like Slack, Zoom, and WordPress. “If it's a task that can be done remotely, AI is coming for it,” he says. But for Alexander Labs, the goal isn't replacing people — it's empowering them. By creating scalable, local-first AI, they're making sure small businesses can keep up — and even outpace the giants. Final Takeaway This episode isn't just about AI — it's about ownership. It's about building technology that serves local communities, respects data privacy, and creates opportunity where it's needed most. Alexander Labs is betting that the next big thing in tech doesn't have to come from California — it can start in Allentown. And if they're right, the Lehigh Valley may just become the first Silicon Valley all over again.

In my ongoing exploration of the history of homophobia in life and the law, I've been researching the trends, and I do mean trends, of attacks fueled by the targeting of mostly gay men. From the late 1950s through the 1970s in the United States, "Rolling a Queer" became such an epidemic that both Democrats and Republicans came together to introduce legislation that would create some minor protections for gays and lesbians. It failed, of course, and the attacks continued at pace. This crime wave helps to explain why the "Homosexual Panic Defense" began to be used in the 1960s in courtrooms across the country. A young man defending himself from the advances of a predatory homosexual is much more defendable than a defendant targeting gay men for fun and profit. I have many more of these stories from the 1950s through the 1970s to share. Please subscribe. In this week's episode: Sam Nordquist left home to visit his online girlfriend. When his mother and other family members couldn't get ahold of him, they begged authorities to help him, but sadly, help came too late. In September 2024, Zsolt Zsolyomi disabled his leg monitor and disappeared onto the north Florida Island of Miami Beach and Little Havana using an alias to court, rob, batter, and then murder two older men with disabilities. Would the police stop him before he could kill again? In 1973, the Long Beach murder of a World War II veteran and beloved school teacher, Hollis Voas, exposed the escalating cycle of rolling a queer that spiked during the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. Law enforcement quickly tracked down the suspects Don James Myers and Kenneth Evans, after discovering the victim tied to his blood-soaked bedroom. Thirty-nine pieces of evidence, a stolen Cadillac, and a childhood friend would lead police to the perpetrators a few hours after the murder. I saw this 1973 news item so quietly tucked away in a newspaper that I knew I had to share his story. Thanks to one of Mr. Voas' relatives for sharing a picture of him for the YouTube coverage. The 1953 murder of bartender Walter Thalen by a drifter who wandered into the bar where Thalen worked at the end of a night of drinking would have a devasting impact far and wide. In March of 2025, Buffalo, New York, Allentown was rocked by the double murder of two beloved men. Mickey Harmon and Jordan Celotto contributed to their community in art and activism, and they were snatched away senselessly and violently. 49, California Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi and 53, Yolanda Olejniczak-Marodi, began dating in 2018, marrying in 2022. By February 2025, Marodi was ready to end what friends called a controlling and isolating marriage, but she would never get the chance. This wasn't the first time Yolanda Olejniczak-Marodi was involved in a murder. Reports of intimate partner violence among lesbians are the most underreported.

In this week's episode, we delve into the tragic tale of Mabel Betchel's mysterious murder in Allentown, PA, and the ghostly presence of Thomas Betchel. Uncover the twisted history behind this unsolved case and explore the lingering specter said to roam what was once Thomas's prison cell. Is it guilt, grief, or something more sinister that binds Thomas's spirit to this world? Tune in as we piece together the clues and uncover what may have happened that fateful night in 1903.* Promo Code: This episode is sponsored by Magic Mind, the ultimate productivity shot to keep you focused and energized.

Recently, I began to research the trends of attacks fueled by "Homosexual Panic." What I've learned has changed my understanding of the use of the history of the homosexual panic defense, but I'll get back to that later. I will just say that in the late 1950s through the 1970s in the United States "Rolling a Queer" became such an epidemic that both Democrats and Republicans came together to introduce legislation that would create some minor protections for queer folks. It failed of course and so the attacks rolled on. In this week's episode: Sam Nordquist left home to visit his online girlfriend. When his mother and other family members couldn't get ahold of him, they begged authorities to help him, but sadly, help came too late. In September 2024, Zsolt Zsolyomi disabled his leg monitor and disappeared onto the north Florida Island of Miami Beach and Little Havana using an alias to court, rob, batter, and then murder two older men with disabilities. Would the police stop him before he could kill again? The 1953 murder of bartender Walter Thalen by a drifter who wandered into the bar where Thalen worked the aftermath of a night of drinking would have a devasting impact far and wide. In March of 2025, Buffalo's Allentown was rocked by the double murder of two beloved men. Mickey Harmon and Jordan Celotto contributed to their community in art and activism, and they were snatched away senselessly and violently. I saw this news item about the 1973 murder of a high school teacher who had served in the Air Force in World War Two so quietly tucked away that I knew I had to share his story. I hope you stay with me as I continue to share more of these hidden stories of lives lived and snuffed out. They deserve our loving attention.

La Saint Valentin n'est pas toujours synonyme d'amour fou... A cette occasion, découvrez un nouveau hors-série de Home(icides), sur un drame meurtrier au sein de la grande famille du sport.

Whatever the goal is, whatever you guys use, write it down, and then do something no one does after they write it down. If you wrote it down, you're already 90% above everybody else. Take that last 10% and read it out loud. Then if you find yourself falling off or not sure why, just pull it back out. Don't forget about it. The more you write, the more you can focus. People don't write things out anymore. I'm not talking about typing it. Don't type it and no, don't put in your phone. Get a pen and a paper and write it down like you learned in elementary school. 01:06:20 – Final Words from Brian: I just bought a really good new journal. I'm a...

Hey there, music lovers. Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today on the podcast, I'm lucky enough to spend some time with my friend Sam Marabella, a musician, songwriter, local music advocate, and co-owner of the legendary Buffalo, NY, live music venue Nietzsche's. A veteran of beloved Buffalo indie-jam band Sweatin' Like Nixon, and a leading light in Buffalo's roots music scene, Sam is also a bit of a Dylan-ologist, whose love for Bob Dylan's music runs deep, and has informed his own work as a songwriter and performer. That work includes a brand new EP, Level 50, which is out now and available wherever you stream music. Sam is passionate about the Allentown neighborhood that Nietzsche's calls home, and we talked about the challenges facing that neighborhood following the recent back to back losses of the fabled nightspots Mulligans Brick Bar and the Pink Flamingo. He's also more than a little about excited about the plans that the new team of owners has for the club's future as a primary live music destination in Buffalo. During this episode, we talk about all of the above. And Sam was prescient enough to bring along a guitar, which he duly employed in service of a tune written by the immensely talented Buffalo underground songwriter JeffGoldstein. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Sam Marabella…

For generations, adults with ADHD have struggled to find workplaces and career paths that allow them to succeed, and usually ended up feeling like a square peg in a round hole. Those who have been able to figure out where their ADHD strengths fit best often did so after years of trial and error or were lucky enough to have a coach, mentor or parent who pointed them in the right direction. But what if job crafting for ADHD strengths was accessible for all? I came across an article in ADDitude magazine about ADHD and job crafting and decided to reach out to the author. Mark is a licensed psychologist in private practice, a professor of psychology at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania and the lead researcher on an innovative project to help individuals craft careers in alignment with their ADHD strengths. He's currently working on a book that expands on these ideas, combining personal anecdotes, professional insights, and extensive research.Episode Overview:Occupational Typecasting for ADHD: Mark discusses the myth that certain jobs naturally align better with ADHD traits, but this doesn't mean individuals with ADHD can't excel in other fields.Job Crafting: Introduction of "job crafting" or "curating" as a method where individuals map out their job tasks to align with their strengths and seek support for more challenging tasks.Misinterpreted Symptoms: How symptoms like boredom and disengagement are misinterpreted as laziness rather than a need for more meaningful work.Underachievement Relative to Potential: The focus on disruptive behavior over subtle signs of ADHD in settings like schools and workplacesDelayed Diagnosis, Especially Among Women: Examination of how societal standards and internalized negative feedback can result in delayed ADHD diagnoses.ADHD as a Superpower: Critique of the "ADHD as a superpower" narrative and its oversimplification of individual experiences.Mentioned by Dr Sciutto during the interview: Buzz: a Year of Paying Attention by Katherine EllisonADDitude magazine article on Scott Eyre, pitcherWant to find out more about Mark Sciutto's work or his upcoming book?

With one week left until Election Day, Vice President Kamala Harris plans to deliver her closing arguments today with a speech at the Ellipse in Washington D.C. It's the same place where nearly four years ago, then-President Trump incited a violent mob to march toward the Capitol in an attempt to steal the election. For Trump's part, he'll end his day with a rally in Allentown, Pa., a politically purple area in one of the most important swing states this election cycle. As we head into the final few days of the presidential race, both candidates will spend their time barnstorming the swing states, making their case to an electorate that appears as evenly divided as you can get. Tens of millions of Americans have already voted. Ashlyn Earnest, a poll manager in Georgia, another major swing state, talks about what it's like to work the polls on Election Day.And in headlines: The Trump Campaign faces blowback over racist comments made during Sunday's Madison Square Garden rally, ballot boxes in Washington and Oregon were set on fire, legal battles over voter suppression continue, and Brown University suspended a student-led pro-Palestine group on campus.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
SERIES 3 EPISODE 58: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN As Kamala Harris's lead among Hispanic voters nearly triples in less than a month, one of Trump's preliminary speakers at his Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden attacks them. “These Latinos, they love making babies, too" says somebody named Hinchcliffe.“There's no pulling out. They don't do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country.” If a crass attack against 12% of the nation's likely voters would not cause enough damage to Trump in the final week, Hinchcliffe then added "There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico." As even Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott attacks the remarks, a Trump flunky tries to distance itself from the extraordinary attacks saying they don't represent the campaign. At the same time, Donald Trump Jr re-posted video of the remarks. There is a day in each failed presidential candidacy where the losing candidate woke up with his chances of BECOMING president still intact, but went to bed with them irrevocably destroyed. I think for Trump that day was yesterday. The viability of his candidacy has largely depended on his growing support among Latinos. 450,000 residents of Pennsylvania self-identify as Puerto Rican – 127,114 of them in PhILLY and 33,531 in Allentown. 100,000 residents of North Carolina do so. 65-thousand in Wisconsin. 50,000 Michiganders. To say nothing of a million Floridians and a quarter million Texans. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT HISPANIC THERE WAS PLENTY OF HATE TO GO AROUND: Stephen Miller echoes Goebbels. Elon Musk, Dr. Phil, Hulk Hogan and Tucker Carlson beclown themselves. just as the German-American Bund discovered in 1939 when they paraded the swastika into the old Madison Square Garden, there is something about parading Trump's backed-up sewer of hateful has-beens into the heart of bright blue New York City to scream their filth. Somehow the context, the location, underscores that they not only believe this, they not only see a future only for white people and others who have been approved BY white people, they not only think they are a majority, they not only think Trump is beloved, they not only think the tens of millions of us who repudiate their bestiality and their hatred and their racism are somehow just PRETENDING to repudiate these things but most of all, WORST of al these scumbags think they're going to get away with it. And against a fresh background, we are reminded what shame they have brought to us. Meanwhile the interior numbers for Harris continue to explode. In the ABC poll, likely African-American voters are now hers… NINETY to seven. The CBS poll has her up by 1 despite something curious in the very first interior number. She leads among women by 12 points. He only leads among men by nine. If that difference is correct, she wins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
