The Ashes might be done and dusted, but our cricket chat is just heating up. In this week's jam-packed episode, Jack, Max, and Ross revisit their infamously "dodgy" pre-series Ashes predictions. We're talking bold shouts, massive flops, and a good dose of self-deprecation as we review just how wrong (or maybe, just maybe, slightly right?) we were about the world's greatest Test rivalry. Did Bazball fizzle out Down Under? We dig into the stats and the real story behind Australia's dominant 4-1 victory. Expect sharp analysis, a bit of banter, and some brutal honesty about England's performance and the systemic issues plaguing the ECB. But wait, there's more! The glorious chaos of white ball cricket is back with a bang. We spin through all the latest from the shortest formats, covering the big hits, controversial dismissals, and tactical masterstrokes. Get your essential dose of cricket analysis and entertainment, blending serious chat with the sort of unfiltered opinion you won't find anywhere else. Tune in, subscribe, and join the conversation!

Jase, Al, and Zach connect recent headlines about the Minnesota daycare fraud scheme to a deeper biblical truth: life built outside God's wisdom always collapses into dust. Drawing from Proverbs and real-world scandals, the guys dive into how deception thrives in darkness but never survives the light of truth or God's design for human flourishing. Jase reveals the shocking move he made when his daughter Mia brought home her first boyfriend—and how it traces back to the time he himself was threatened with death just for walking through a girlfriend's front door.  In this episode: Proverbs 8; Proverbs 14, verse 4; Proverbs 21, verses 6, 9, 19, and 30; Proverbs 22, verses 6 and 29; Proverbs 30, verses 15–16, 18–19, and 24–28; Colossians 3, verse 23; James 1, verses 13–15; James 3, verses 13–18; 1 John 3, verse 8; Hebrews 12, verses 26–28; Genesis 1, verse 1; Genesis 2, verses 15–17; Genesis 3, verses 1–7 “Unashamed” Episode 1246 is sponsored by: https://ruffgreens.com — Get a FREE Jumpstart Trial Bag for your dog today when you use promo code Unashamed! http://fastgrowingtrees.com/unashamed — Get 20% off your next purchase with code UNASHAMED at checkout! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Listen to Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or anywhere you get podcasts.

During a career spanning half a century, David Bowie constantly reinvented his image and sound, creating the diverse body of work that made him a titan in the history of modern music. From the androgynous alien energy of Ziggy Stardust to the suave, enigmatic Thin White Duke, Bowie's artistic restlessness became his trademark. Few artists have shaped popular culture with such imagination and fearlessness.   So how did a suburban boy transform himself into a rock superstar? What fuelled his boundless creativity? And how did he change pop music forever? This is a Short History Of David Bowie. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.

BAZBALL DECLARED DEAD AFTER AUSTRALIA'S ASHES VICTORY Colleague Jeremy Zakis. Australia'sdecisive 4-1 victory in the Ashes series is viewed as a failure of England's "Bazball" strategy, which Zakis declares "dead" for test cricket. The strategy, reliant on brute force and psychological warfare to score quickly, ultimately backfired by exhausting the English players over the duration of the five-day matches. The Australian team successfully "outfoxed" England by utilizing technical bowling expertise—varying pace and using sliders—rather than engaging in a contest of pure speed. While England boasted of hitting "sixes" (home runs) prior to the series, Australia's disciplined field placement and bowling variety prevented the English batters from getting "their eye in," dismantling the aggressive strategy completely.

Episode two picks up in the quiet aftermath of the fire, when the adrenaline fades and reality sets in. Nataly Tavidian reflects on the moment she learned her family home was gone—a phone call from a close colleague/TV reporter who was reporting live from the property. The episode centers on the shock of seeing what remains for the first time and the emotional weight of hearing devastating news from someone who knew the house, the family, and its history. Through archival audio and a year-later one-on-one conversation with her friend, the episode explores how grief shows up in unexpected ways, even for journalists trained to stay composed. Episode 2 examines the human side of disaster reporting, the role of compassion in moments of loss, and the difficult transition from breaking news to personal reckoning.
