Nicholas "Harry" Callas discusses what he thinks of the possibility that the Steelers will keep four QBs on their active roster to begin the NFL regular season. Also, Callas previews the upcoming series between the Pirates and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Hour 1: The Steelers are back tonight, but are people more excited to see Drew Allar or Will Howard tonight? Will “Harry” Callas act inappropriately with his girlfriend at the Steelers game tonight? And Aditi Kinkhabwala joins the show to break down Pittsburgh-Green Bay this evening!

No todas las decisiones tomadas por miedo parecen cobardes. Algunas parecen prudentes, responsables e incluso sensatas.Aceptas algo porque temes perder una oportunidad. Permaneces donde estás porque no sabes qué ocurrirá si te marchas. Callas porque temes provocar un conflicto. Renuncias antes de intentar porque anticipas el fracaso. Eliges lo seguro no porque realmente lo consideres correcto, sino porque cualquier alternativa despierta incertidumbre.Y entonces ocurre algo difícil de detectar: el miedo empieza a hablar utilizando la voz de la razón.El problema no consiste en sentir miedo. El miedo cumple una función y puede advertirnos de riesgos reales. El problema comienza cuando dejamos de examinarlo y le permitimos convertirse en el criterio principal de nuestras decisiones.Desde una perspectiva estoica, una decisión debería nacer del juicio: de distinguir qué depende de nosotros, qué es correcto hacer y qué clase de persona queremos ser frente a las circunstancias. La convicción no significa actuar sin temor. Significa que el temor no obtiene automáticamente la última palabra.Cuando decides únicamente para evitar perder, sufrir, equivocarte o decepcionar, comienzas a organizar tu existencia alrededor de aquello que no quieres que ocurra. Ya no avanzas hacia algo; simplemente huyes de diferentes amenazas.Y una vida construida desde la evasión puede terminar siendo extremadamente limitada.El miedo puede conservar una relación terminada, un trabajo que te consume, una identidad que ya no reconoces o una rutina que dejó de tener sentido. Puede hacerte confundir estabilidad con inmovilidad y prudencia con renuncia.La pregunta importante no es si tienes miedo.Es si tomarías la misma decisión si ese miedo desapareciera durante unos minutos.Esa diferencia revela mucho.Porque actuar por convicción tampoco garantiza resultados favorables. Puedes decidir correctamente y perder. Puedes actuar con valentía y equivocarte. Puedes sostener tus principios y enfrentar consecuencias difíciles.La filosofía estoica nunca prometió controlar los resultados. Su propuesta es más exigente: asumir responsabilidad por el juicio desde el cual actuamos.En este episodio de Vida Estoica reflexionamos sobre la diferencia entre protegerte y obedecer al miedo, sobre las decisiones que parecen racionales pero nacen de la inseguridad y sobre la necesidad de recuperar una dirección interior antes de permitir que la incertidumbre diseñe nuestra vida.No necesitas dejar de sentir miedo para decidir mejor.Necesitas impedir que el miedo decida quién vas a ser.Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/VidaEstoica⁠WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaC8jMeLo4hiC8664i02Síguenos en nuestras redes sociales: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vidaestoicaoficial⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/VidaEstoicaOficial⁠Tik Tok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@vidaestoicaoficial⁠ Hosted on Acast.

Inspired by Nicholas Callas' nickname, fill-in host Jeff Hathhorn creates a bonus QUIZ CALLAS segment involving famous people, real and fictional, named "Harry."

Fill-in host Donny "Football" Chedrick quizzes Nicholas "Harry" Callas on this basic sports trivia for this weekly segment!

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Sophia Lambton chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about The Callas Imprint: A Centennial Biography. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why the narrative opened with a prologue about Maria Callas's artistry. How exhaustive research revealed Callas's brilliance and flaws. How a detailed calendar of events, letters and performances tracked Callas's evolving thoughts. How Sophia built comprehensive files by transcribing and translating all of Callas's interviews. Why chapter headings include Callas's own words.  How Sophia dismantled Callas's ‘diva stereotype' and portrayed her human story. 

Adam Crowley is convinced that Nicholas "Harry" Callas was not paying attention during a segment of Monday's show. Was Callas just trying to mess with Crowley, or was Callas actually not staying focused?

Esmerlyn Valdez is day-to-day after a contusion and tests showed no fracture. GREAT news. Callas announced Austin's wiffleball game. Joe walked over hot coals. Joe thinks Paul Skenes had a great day Saturday despite allowing five runs. 

“Wenn Sie mich jetzt, weiß ich nicht, als Podcaster einsetzen würden, da würden die Leute natürlich sagen, “was macht der denn als Podcaster?”. Mir geht es nicht darum, einmal Podcaster zu sein, nur um das im Lebenslauf zu haben.” So oder so ähnlich wurde Julius nur ein Jahr vor seiner Ernennung zum deutschen Podcastminister von großen Zeitungen zitiert. Ob er sich damit für eine erfolgreiche Amtszeit disqualifiziert hat, diskutieren Markus Maria Profittlich und Lotto-Millionär Chico in dieser Folge.

Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick quiz Nicholas "Harry" Callas on one of his areas of expertise; baseball umpiring!

State Senator Mike Halpin says Illinois' new budget includes added support for school lunch programs and a three-month food assistance bridge for families losing federal benefits. Speaking on Wake Up Tri-Counties, Halpin also defended new taxes on digital advertising and social media platforms, saying the revenue could help fund services including mental health care. He said higher education funding remains a top priority, especially for rural students and schools like Western Illinois University. Halpin also discussed efforts to recover back wages, ease substitute teacher shortages, limit eminent domain for CO₂ pipelines, and protect vulnerable adults under guardianship. State Senator Mike Halpin praised three newly signed Illinois laws that strengthen support for military service members and veterans. The legislation aims to boost Illinois National Guard recruitment, help student service members return to college after military leave, and expand access to innovative mental health treatments for veterans. Halpin highlighted Senate Bill 3926, which moves the Breakthrough Therapies for Veteran Suicide Prevention Program Advisory Council to the Illinois Department of Public Health, where it will help expand access to emerging therapies, improve provider training, enhance patient safety, and promote public awareness. He also applauded Senate Bill 3737, requiring colleges and universities to promptly readmit students returning from military service, and Senate Bill 3818, which encourages Illinois National Guard recruitment through a peer referral incentive program. All three laws take effect January 1, 2027. His office can be reached at 309-558-3612. Mike Halpin serves as Illinois State Senator for the 36th District, representing most of Rock Island County and portions of Mercer, Henry, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties. An attorney and former State Representative, Halpin previously worked for Congressman Lane Evans, assisting constituents and helping veterans secure military honors. He later earned his law degree from the University of Illinois and became a partner at McCarthy, Callas, & Feeney, P.C., where he focuses on labor and municipal law. Halpin continues to advocate for veterans through his work with Bridging the Gap: Stand Down for Homeless Veterans, providing legal assistance to those in need. During his time in the Illinois House, he supported balanced budgets and sponsored legislation allowing schools to stock undesignated glucagon to help save children's lives.

Hour 3: Will Pitt football start the season 5-0 this year? Does ChatGPT know who Harry Callas is? And Dom gives his Kyle Dubas and Matt Campbell hot takes.

Vicky Calavia, directora de cine realizó en 2021 el documental Elvira de Hidalgo, Donare la Divinitá. Elvira fue la pigmalion de María Callas, le enseñó absolutamente todos los secretos del bell canto y, eso unido al potencial de voz que tenía aquella adolescente cuando se puso en sus manos, terminó convirtiéndola en una auténtica diva. Elvira fue una primma donna en su época. Vicky nos cuenta que Elvira creía mucho en si misma y que llevó a gala ser española por todos los escenarios del mundo en los que triunfó. Ella, al igual que su pupila, marcó tendencia y tenía muchas seguidoras en las revistas que querían ser como ella. Cuando la Callas se enamoró de Aristóteles Onassis, Elvira le dijo: "Es un zafio, es un gañán, es un hombre que come con las manos y que no sabe nada de ópera". Y aunque procuró seguir los consejos de su maestra y confidente, siguió enamorada de él.

Callas possibly fibbed about when he was leaving for Ireland. Where does Doug Whaley rank TJ Watt as a pass rusher? IsHighsmith or Herbig better?

Crowley gives more context to the green weenie. Doug Whaley joins to give his thoughts on where Porter ranks among CBs, if he can benefit from Jamel Dean. Crowley continues to provide details about the green weenie. When will Crowley reveal his improved physique? Callas possibly fibbed about when he was leaving for Ireland. Where does Doug Whaley rank TJ Watt as a pass rusher? IsHighsmith or Herbig better? Doug Whaley reacts to the epic goal call. How does a GM judge an injury situation like Konnor Griffin's?

Jim Bowden said he thinks Luke Weaver is a fascinating pitcher the Pirates could acquire and Matt Clement pointed to the same player. Weaver was a closer for the Yankees last year and signed with the Mets on a two-year contract. He has a 1.95 ERA in 35 games. Harry Callas called in to share his story of catching and facing Mason Miller.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Matt Clement: What's a realistic contract for Brandon Lowe? Poni thinks eight-years, $200 million but we don't think there's any chance. Matt Clement says four-years, $115-120 million is what Lowe would ask for. Jim Bowden said he thinks Luke Weaver is a fascinating pitcher the Pirates could acquire and Matt pointed to the same player. Harry Callas called in to share his story of catching and facing Mason Miller.

Mark Kaboly joins the show for the next hour. Mark thinks that people are overreacting with Paul Skenes, and that Skenes is going to be just fine. Mark refers to Esmerlyn Valdez as the next Ke'Bryan Hayes. Mark also says that the young Pirates' fans are not used to losing. Poni thinks that Konnor Griffin will make a greater impact on the Pirates than Paul Skenes in the next 10 years. Mark disagrees. Dom has arrived to the Fan producer's booth. He tells Poni and Mark that Callas and Sean Meyers almost got into a fight while playing basketball. Mark does not think that Joey Porter Jr. is going to sign with the Steelers before the beginning of training camp. More with Mark Kaboly. Mark believes that aliens exist, but does not believe that they are on Earth. Mark does not believe that Bigfoot is real, and he believes that the Earth is round. Mark thinks that Jaylen Ramsey will play in the role that Deshon Elliot had prior to him coming to Pittsburgh. Mark is a fan of Sebastian Joseph-Day and thinks that Derrick Harmon will have a monster year.

Paul Skenes' stretch is problematic! Will Jason Robertson come to Pittsburgh? Jason Spezza was asked about Robertson. The Penguins have clear interest and are lacking a star in their prime to build the team around. Jeff doesn't think Erik Karlsson will be on the team this season. Callas barely brushes his teeth!!

We are quickly approaching the third anniversary of the death of Renata Scotto, and that sad commemoration, combined with my desire to produce an episode celebrating Opera Queens, prompted this episode, which features a rare live LP that I once owned a few decades ago and recently returned to my collection. It features live performances of “our diva” from the stage of Carnegie Hall on two different occasions in the mid- to late-1970s: the first, a gala concert on September 12, 1975 with Eve Queler leading the Opera Orchestra of New York on which Scotto performed Rossini (the bravura rondo from Armida) and Donizetti (the mad scene from Anna Bolena). She also sang “Tu che invoco” from Spontini's La Vestale on that concert, and though it was not included on that record, I have unearthed a live recording of that exact performance, which is also included on the episode. The second concert featured on that LP took place on October 31, 1979 under the baton of Lorin Maazel leading the Cleveland Orchestra, and includes a rare performance of Scotto singing from Cherubini's Medea as well as the mad scene from Bellini's Il pirata. In all of these, Scotto is in sterling vocal form, which allows her to fully explore the expressive bel canto possibilities of this music. Since Scotto was also widely accused of being anti-Callas, I also dispute that view with some comments that Scotto made in an interview about Callas's importance as the high priestess of bel canto. I also intone a few more nasty reviews and comments from those who do not hold Scotto in the same high esteem that I (we!) do. For I, too, am one of those opera queens that we are celebrating today. I just happen to have better taste than those that are dissing our diva! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Crowley's dramatic shot from $5K yesterday was an all-time sports moment. Jack had a great round of golf recently but downplayed it. We analyzed Zangrilli's call of the shot. Callas tried to discourage Jack from betting on an Ozuna home run. Joe is confused about the giveaways, so Crowley helps. Will Lowe be the first Pirate to hit 40 homers since Stargell? Or could he be traded at the deadline. Joe and Pomp are both preoccupied. Will Henry Davis stay on the roster? Will Skenes or Ashcraft lead the Bucs in strikeouts? Would you take Antonio Brown over the other great Steelers WRs? Will Hines Ward ever get into the HOF?

Donny Football joins the show for the next couple hours! Callas drinks a THC drink on the air. Dorin recounts his trip to Kennywood yesterday. And Dan Muse joins the show to talk about his first season with the Penguins!

They guys are concerned with Callas' breakfast order this morning. Pat Narduzzi joins the show to give a couple huge Pitt incentives for the Five-Alarm today! And is Crowley a closet Pitt fan?

A Wexford volunteer firefighter joins the broadcast to tell his incredible story. Callas and Crowley yell at Mackey for typing during the interview. Mackey teases a guest and Callas and Crowley keep guessing incorrectly. Another firefighter stops by to make a donation, and he was also the AD at Clairton when Tyler Boyd played for the Bears. Five players have been linked to the Pirates as trade candidates. Do the Pirates really need help at C and 1B? How can Ozuna find a rhythm if he isn't playing with any regularity?

Why were Callas and Limits invited to the Bob Pompeani golf outing and Joe Starkey was not? Also Poni and Mueller were not invited to play golf today. Limits was using clubs from the 1800s. The Pirates were swept by the Atlanta Braves over the weekend. Poni says it is the fault of Ben Cherington. The Pirates now have 14 blown saves this season and have done nothing to address their faltering bullpen. Poni says he is sick of hearing about the "three starters in a playoff series, they have a chance". The bullpen has blown it and Mitch Keller is too inconsistent.

Poni says he is sick of hearing about the "three starters in a playoff series, they have a chance". The bullpen has blown it and Mitch Keller is too inconsistent. Hockey Talk! Red Wings star Dylan Larkin requested a trade and submitted three different teams on his "trade list": Minnesota, Vegas, and Florida. What would it take for the Penguins to outbid those teams? Noah Hiles joins the show! Poni asks if being swept by the Braves is cause for concern for Noah. Noah says he is not worried overall, but still has concerns about the state of the pitching staff. Noah brings up the fact that the Pirates fired Oscar Morin. Noah says multiple starting rotation members indicated they could perform better with a different pitching coach.

More than 40 years after her death, the legend of Maria Callas, "La Divina Assoluta," remains unsurpassed. Much has been written about her sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her definitive mastery of iconic opera roles to her love affairs and tantrums. The prototype for the 20th century celebrity diva, Callas emblematizes the cliche of tormented talent - genius in the ring with catastrophe. Her extraordinary voice, in particular, has become an object of cult-like adoration and cultural significance almost with a life of its own: as fetish object, as sophisticated sonic signifier, and most recently, as the lifeblood for a Callas hologram. Such adoration is not without consequences. When Callas is transformed into a vessel for such transcendent magic, it overshadows what is perhaps her most superhuman ability - the masterful technique she deployed to shape and craft her astounding instrument. Singing bodies are working bodies, enacting an intimate and complex form of artistic labor and cultural signification. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954, Maria Callas's Lyric and Coloratura Arias (Bloomsbury, 2021) envisions each aria as a lens to examine various aspects of vocalization and cultural reception of the feminized voice in both classical and pop culture, from Homer's Sirens to Star Trek. With references to works by Marina Abramovic, Charles Baudelaire, Michel Chion, Wayne Koestenbaum, Greil Marcus, and Farah Jasmine Griffin, as well as films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jonathan Demme, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, each chapter explores phenomena unique to the singing voice, including the operatic screaming point, the politics of listening, and the singing simulacrum. Ginger Dellenbaugh is a musician and historian who has written and lectured on music and politics, vernacular notation systems, and the cultural history of the voice. A trained opera singer, she performed for over a decade in Europe and the United States. Ginger is currently a lecturer at The New School in New York, USA and completing a PhD in musicology at Yale University, USA. She lives in New York City and Vienna, Austria.

More than 40 years after her death, the legend of Maria Callas, "La Divina Assoluta," remains unsurpassed. Much has been written about her sensational opera career and fraught private life, from her definitive mastery of iconic opera roles to her love affairs and tantrums. The prototype for the 20th century celebrity diva, Callas emblematizes the cliche of tormented talent - genius in the ring with catastrophe. Her extraordinary voice, in particular, has become an object of cult-like adoration and cultural significance almost with a life of its own: as fetish object, as sophisticated sonic signifier, and most recently, as the lifeblood for a Callas hologram. Such adoration is not without consequences. When Callas is transformed into a vessel for such transcendent magic, it overshadows what is perhaps her most superhuman ability - the masterful technique she deployed to shape and craft her astounding instrument. Singing bodies are working bodies, enacting an intimate and complex form of artistic labor and cultural signification. Using one of Callas's first recital recordings from 1954, Maria Callas's Lyric and Coloratura Arias (Bloomsbury, 2021) envisions each aria as a lens to examine various aspects of vocalization and cultural reception of the feminized voice in both classical and pop culture, from Homer's Sirens to Star Trek. With references to works by Marina Abramovic, Charles Baudelaire, Michel Chion, Wayne Koestenbaum, Greil Marcus, and Farah Jasmine Griffin, as well as films by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jonathan Demme, and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, each chapter explores phenomena unique to the singing voice, including the operatic screaming point, the politics of listening, and the singing simulacrum. Ginger Dellenbaugh is a musician and historian who has written and lectured on music and politics, vernacular notation systems, and the cultural history of the voice. A trained opera singer, she performed for over a decade in Europe and the United States. Ginger is currently a lecturer at The New School in New York, USA and completing a PhD in musicology at Yale University, USA. She lives in New York City and Vienna, Austria.

David and I are still on holiday in the magical city of Venice; it’s my first vist here in nearly forty years and it has been beguiling and enchanting (as well as exhausting)! Before we left, I put together yet another episode of great sopranos of the 1960s and 1970s in stunning live performances as compiled on a 1970s pirate release by Historical Recording Enterprises which I present to you here. Many of my favorites (Callas, Olivero, Scotto, Cruz-Romo, Freni), capped by an unforgettable “Casta Diva” by Shirley Verrett. Also a little celebratory commentary about the dazzling upset in the Hungarian electino last night, one which gives us perhaps a glimmer of hope for the grim situation in the United States. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.

Adventure racing has always depended on people who love the sport enough to build it. Greg Callas is one of those people.Greg is the new president of Gold Rush Adventure Racing, a nonprofit based in the foothills of the Sierras with a two-decade history on the West Coast. He inherited a legacy, and a responsibility, from the founders who built it, and he's determined to carry both forward.But this episode isn't just about race directing. It's about a guy who found adventure racing the way a lot of us did, by doing something that looked a lot like it before he even knew it existed, and then couldn't stop. From his first race at Mammoth, where his team basically set up a picnic at the transition area, to a strong finish at Raid the Rockies, to lantern rouge honors at Expedition Oregon two years running, and then greater success, Greg has learned the sport the hard way and applied every lesson.In this conversation, we talk about what it takes to grow a community, what a Bay Area sea kayaking club taught him about onboarding new athletes, and why he turned a 24-hour race into a 12-hour race — and why that might have been the right call all along. We also get into the Gold Rush Adventure Challenge, coming September 19th to the Marin Headlands, with a paddle to Angel Island, views of the Golden Gate, and yes — a cannon.The sport grows when people like Greg show up. This one's worth your time.Shownotes:Gold Rush Adventure Racing - https://www.goldrushadventureracing.com/Greg Callas Website - https://www.outdoorgoyo.com/Sponsor Links:Adventure Addicts Racing's Brake The Habit AR - https://www.adventureaddictsracing.com/copy-of-brake-the-habit-1Shenandoah Epic Adventure Race - https://www.adventureenablers.com/Photographer Nic Wynia - https://www.storycityfilms.com/new-gallery-3
