Ed Kasputis interviews author, Tim Wendel about his book, Summer of ’68: The Season That Changed Baseball – and America – Forever. From the beginning, '68 was a season rocked by national tragedy and sweeping change. Opening Day was postponed and later played in the shadow of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s funeral. That summer, as the pennant races were heating up, the assassination of Robert Kennedy was later followed by rioting at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. But even as tensions boiled over and violence spilled into the streets, something remarkable was happening in major league ballparks across the country. Pitchers were dominating like never before, and with records falling and shut-outs mounting, many began hailing '68 as “The Year of the Pitcher.” Meanwhile in Detroit—which had burned just the summer before during one of the worst riots in American history—'68 instead found the city rallying together behind a colorful Tigers team led by Denny McLain, Mickey Lolich, Willie Horton, and Al Kaline. The Tigers would finish atop the American League, setting themselves on a highly anticipated collision course with Bob Gibson's Cardinals.

Ed Kasputis interviews author, Chris Williams about his new book, Stealing First and Other Old-Time Baseball Stories.

You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It's sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025]. Tron: Ares asks the bold question, did anybody watch or remember Tron: Legacy? It stars Evan Peters as the grandson of Dillinger and he created Ares, played by Jared Leto. Baby Dillinger is trying to sell weapons and soldiers brought into the real world via lasers. Meanwhile Greta Lee is CEO … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 259: Tron Drags"

The Wild West isn't just a theme—it's a survival story. In this episode of Only in OK, we are diving deep into the dusty, high-octane history of Frontier City. This Oklahoma City icon isn't just a theme park; it's a survivor that outlasted real estate developers, economic crashes, and even an F2 tornado.

What was the greatest World Series?  Ed Kasputis learns as he interviews author, Tim Wendel about his new book, Down to the Last Pitch.

It’s January as hundreds of men and women head to umpire school as they chase their dream to become a professional baseball umpire. Ed Kasputis interviews the one and only, Perry Lee Barber who has been a female baseball umpire since 1981.

This one starts the way all great cinema analysis starts: Dan's birthday sandwich (father-in-law today, Dan tomorrow, Mrs the day after), a bit of life admin, and then straight into neon sci-fi with Tron: Ares.If your Tron knowledge is basically “glowing lines, lightbikes, and that vibe,” you're fine — this film mostly plays in the real world, and asks a simple question: what happens when programs from the Grid step into reality?The hookTwo tech giants are racing to crack the next breakthrough:ENCOM, led by visionary philanthropist Eve Kim (trying to build tech that helps the world)Dillinger Systems, led by Julian Dillinger (weaponising the future)Dillinger's flex is terrifyingly straightforward: laser-built constructs — vehicles, weapons, even soldiers — “printed” instantly into existence. The catch (and the film's ticking clock): these creations normally degrade after ~29 minutes.What we dig intoAres (Jared Leto) as a “program-soldier”: built for control, but quickly starts developing something dangerously human — curiosity, empathy, judgement.The “permanence code” McGuffin: Flynn's old work hints at a way to make constructs last — which flips the film from flashy demo into existential threat (and/or world-changing miracle).A full-on real-world lightbike chase: glowing trails carving through traffic, near-misses, collateral chaos — the biggest “this is why Tron exists” sequence.AI awakening… without deep philosophy: it doesn't pretend to be Ex Machina. It's more “stylish action thriller” than serious tech parable — and we call that out.Athena as the escalation engine: when the second-in-command takes “by any means necessary” literally, the film goes from corporate rivalry to open urban warfare.The ending teases: Dillinger's next evolution, Ares going rogue, and sequel-bait that actually works.The verdictWe're blunt about it: this film isn't saying anything profound about humanity and technology. What it is doing is delivering a clean, coherent action plot, a proper ticking-clock hook, and a visual/audio assault that feels like a two-hour music video in the best way.Even the resident sci-fi sceptic came out surprised: watchable, clear stakes, great set-pieces, banging soundtrack — and sometimes that's enough.If you want an episode where we:break down the plot without pretending it's smarter than it is,obsess over the chase scenes and Grid aesthetics,and argue whether “29 minutes to live” is a flaw or a feature……press play.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Production Designer Darren Gilford joins Decorating Pages to break down the production design of TRON: Ares — from building a bold new Dillinger red world to honoring the franchise's visual DNA.Darren shares the real craft behind the look: materials testing (including a candy-apple red technique on stainless panels), how CNC-cut surfaces and grain direction affect highlights on camera, the engineering behind LED-lit floors, and why the Grid demands a totally different approach than “real world” sets. Plus, we talk Flynn's world as a love letter to Sid Mead, Easter eggs pulled from the original archive, and the art department problem-solving it takes to make TRON feel iconic again.TRON Ares, Darren Gilford, production designer, production design, set design, sci-fi film, art department, set decoration, visual effects, concept art, Sid Mead, light cycles, filmmaking podcast.

On Episode 138 of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd welcome back returning guest Alex Eilers to talk about the upcoming Funeral Language record Thank You For The Dead Body, out January 20th, 2026.This episode is a deep dive into a record that feels sharper, leaner, and more direct than anything Funeral Language has released before. Jay gives his honest first impressions of the album — a sound that's fully honed in, familiar but unmistakably its own. More punk rock in spirit, zero fluff, and just 22 minutes of pure chaos, with nearly half the songs launching straight into vocals. We unpack how this approach is almost the opposite of what was discussed around the last record — and why that shift felt necessary.Alex breaks down the songwriting mindset, the aggression, the grooves, and the intentional choices that shaped the album, plus the creation of the visual and content pieces surrounding the release.Track-by-track discussion includes:Imhumane (1:25)Groove-heavy opener with added low vocals, a menacing feel, and the perfect ending touch with the Addison voicemail.Deathwish Complex (2:45)Catchy, chaotic energy with a Lowist feature, “come on come on” hooks, early punk-era Marilyn Manson vibes, and a killer sliding groove.Bailey Ruban (3:03)Layered vocals, call-out sections, discordant rhythms, Vision of Disorder–style singing, cymbal ring-outs, and ideas worth pushing even further.A Rope 2 Ways (2:52)Nonstop energy, extended screams, borderline Sam Kinison madness, vocal overload, and a hard-grooving warning section.Dead Meat (3:10)Immediate nonsense vocals, aggressive riffs, discordant slides, a nasty 2:08 groove, and perfectly timed vocal pullbacks.Whiskey Foxtrot (3:06)Descending hammer-on riffs, triplet grooves, Dillinger-style grindy chaos, cowbell and woodblock accents, and a bluesy punk rock ending.Thank You For The Dead Body (2:44)More cowbell, Every Time I Die energy, VOD-inspired vocals, and a crushing final riff with discordant guitar interplay.Rain Check (3:13)Grindy noise sections, descending melodies, ringing cymbals, and one of the most chaotic moments on the record.We also talk about:Why this record cuts straight to the pointVocals-first songwriting and immediate impactPunk influences vs metal rootsCreating visual and content pieces for the albumWhat's next for Funeral LanguageIf you're into hardcore, punk-infused metal, chaotic grooves, and honest creative evolution, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Behind The Decks we checked in with Drum & Bass DJ and producer, DJ Flame Jade. Flame got into D&B when she was going to squat parties underage because she was too young to go to club nights and raves. From there, she began to listen to artists in the scene like Optical, Brocky, Mampi Swift, DJ Hype, Hive, Cause for Concern and Dillinger. In Flame's music journey, we chart this journey through D&B, DJing, producing and getting her career to where it is now. For industry issues, we also discuss dark elements of the industry which persists to this day. This includes female DJs and producers like Flame being asked for sexual favours in return for collaborations from male DJs which continues to this day, even post-#MeToo. We also talk about the challenges she's had from her female peers, for example some female DJs have deliberately broken her headphones before she's due to start her set. We finish by discussing the general flakiness of the industry which is a story across the board and the broken promises and let downs which permeate it and why. For Flame's mental health journey, she experienced a lot of childhood trauma which has shaped her mental health from childhood, through to adolescence and adulthood. Her mum was domestically abused multiple times by Flame's dad and other male partners after she separated from him. Flame and her sister witnessed this abuse, which was extremely violent. Flame's mum became addicted to alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with the abuse, which was projected onto Flame, and she ran away from home at just 10 years old and many times afterwards to escape that home environment. Her father died when she was 13 years old, and her mum died when she was 20 years old, and we explore the grief she felt from both their deaths and how she navigated life beyond that point. Flame is diagnosed with multiple diagnoses, including ADHD, CPTSD and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, which is another name for borderline personality disorder. We finish by her journey to becoming a qualified Reiki yoga practitioner, and her use of something she calls ‘sound healing', which combines music and yoga together. As always, #itsokaytovent You can find out more about Flame or book her for your event here: https://djflamejade.com/ You can listen to and purchase Flame's music here: https://djflamej.bandcamp.com/track/shots You can follow her on social media below: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djflame.j/ Support Us: Patreon: www.patreon.com/venthelpuk PayPal: paypal.me/freddiec1994?country.x=GB&locale.x=en_GB Merchandise: www.redbubble.com/people/VentUK/shop Music: @patawawa - Strange: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d70wfeJSEvk
