Over the past two years, our pal and longtime writer and author John Eisenberg has unraveled the history of the Baltimore Orioles via his Bird Tapes on Substack and a series of new conversations with the legends of Birdland. Here, he joins Nestor to discuss the sudden unraveling of whatever Mike Elias had built and the uncertainty of new ownership with David Rubenstein as the Orioles have fired their longtime manager and sit mired in last place in the American League East. The post John Eisenberg discusses weight and responsibility of getting Orioles history told from the authors of tale and tapestry first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

For three decades Allen McCallum has been on our team as a baseball expert and Orioles historian. He joins Nestor to discuss the firing of Brandon Hyde, the running of Mike Elias and the lousy look and last-place situation of the Baltimore Orioles. And what comes next amidst the chaos for new owner David Rubenstein, who has big decisions coming for the future of Birdland. The post Allen McCallum joins Nestor to discuss firing of Hyde and disaster of 2025 Baltimore Orioles first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

The Baltimore Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde on Saturday morning via a press release with quotes from David Rubenstein and Mike Elias. The owner and general manager then hid for three days while every player on the roster got asked about it on Preakness day. We think that's lousy leadership. Luke Jones and Nestor react to Elias' tardy comments on Tuesday in Milwaukee and more last-place Orioles losing after the Hyde firing. A shameful week and season in Birdland. The post Luke Jones and Nestor react to Mike Elias comments and more Orioles losing after Hyde firing first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

After an extremely eventful few days in which Brandon Hyde was fired, and Tony Mansolino assumed the role of interim coach for the Orioles, it shouldn't be any surprise that things are feeling as rocky as they ever have in Birdland. After losing eight straight games, today was a brief respite from the misery, as the Birds sacked up, and took the final game against the Brewers in extra innings to avoid a ninth. The guys get into the good vibes from today's win (in contrast to the awful vibes of pretty much the entire month of May), where the club goes from here as they head to Boston for an AL East series, and much more.

The Orioles are taking beatings this month that no one in MLB could've predicted.

After a 24-2 beat down in his latest start, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what happens next for Charlie Morton and the Baltimore Orioles' beleaguered starting rotation with the season teetering in the wrong direction (already). Bad times in Birdland and no answers for the injured and American League's worst rotation. Up next: the Washington Nationals. The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the disaster of Orioles starting pitching and Morton first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

High expectations, young bats and "veteran" starting pitching have been a toxic early-season mix for the Baltimore Orioles, who are scuffling to hit the baseball.

As a young woman, poet and writer Nikki Giovanni could see that no one was interested in a Black girl writing what was seen as militant and revolutionary poetry. So she formed a company and published it herself. Her second book was launched at the famous New York jazz venue Birdland as she was making a name for herself. When she was 28, she flew to London to sit with James Baldwin and record a conversation for the PBS television series, “Soul.” Baldwin was in his late-40s and an established figure in literature.As event television, it was electric. And clips from that 1971 program continue to be shared. For many young people, that interview is how they first encounter Baldwin, and Giovanni. She's now 81 years old, and has had a garlanded career, including a Grammy nomination, bestselling books and work as a distinguished professor of English at Virginia Tech. Giovanni tells host Razia Iqbal why Baldwin's prose is a beautiful container for the fiery rage found in his messages. Tell us what you think. We're @noteswithkai on Instagram and X (Twitter).

He was a gifted pianist from a young age and became a pioneer of bebop.
