Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is de nieuwste spin-off in de The Legend of Zelda-franchise, waarin meer gefocust wordt op het verslaan van massa's vijanden zoals dat bekendgemaakt werd door de Dynasty Warriors-games. Dat heeft Nintendo ons al vaker laten doen met de Zelda-reeks, dus wat is de onderscheidende waarde van deze game die het verhaal van Tears of the Kingdom verder uitdiept? Dat bespreekt Joe van Burik met Matthijs Damsteeg, die de game uitgebreid heeft gespeeld voor deze Mini-Game-aflevering. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is nu te spelen op Nintendo Switch 2. Over All in the GameAll in the Game is de podcast over games voor iedereen. Wanneer er iets speelt in de wereld van games, hoor je dat hier: spannende ontwikkelingen, boeiende onderzoeken en natuurlijk de nieuwste releases om te spelen op je PlayStation, Xbox, pc of welk platform dan ook. Onder leiding van BNR's techredacteur Joe van Burik hoor je gesprekken met andere gamekenners, zoals beursnerd Jochem Visser, techredacteurs Niels Kooloos en Daniël Mol én popcultuurkenners Donner Bakker en Sam van Zuilen. Ook hoogleraar computerwetenschappen Felienne Hermans en universitair docent Laura van der Lubbe schuiven geregeld aan, en je hoort bijdragen van audioproducers André Dortmont en Jeanne Heeremans. Elke week hoor je minimaal één aflevering van All in the Game. Of juist meerdere, wanneer er veel speelt in de wereld van games. Soms met impressies en analyses over actuele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe games. Andere keren kun je luisteren naar interviews met makers van bijzondere games, van Grand Theft Auto (GTA) tot Baldur's Gate 3 - zowel Nederlandse als internationale ontwikkelaars. Of we praten met e-sport-atleten, onderzoekers en andere experts in de wereld van videogames, in onze rubriek Main Game. En regelmatig laten we iemand van BNR Nieuwsradio aanschuiven om te vertelen over diens favoriete game van vroeger in de Retro-rubriek. In deze podcast kijken we verder dan alleen wat een game leuk maakt: we bespreken juist ook in de culturele, maatschappelijke, economische en technologische impact ervan. Jaarlijks gaat er immers zo'n 200 miljard euro om in de wereldwijde game-industrie, dat is al (vele jaren zelfs) daadwerkelijk meer dan de muziek- en filmindustrie bij elkaar opgeteld Zo hoor je bij All in the Game niet alleen wat je moet spelen - en op welk nieuwe (game)platform - maar kun je daar nog bewuster mee bezig zijn, over praten en natuurlijk van genieten. Of het nou gaat om Super Mario of Sonic the Hedgehog, Fortnite of Roblox, voetbalgames van EA Sports FC of de FIFA, Call of Duty of Battlefield, League of Legends of Dota,of goude oude titels zoals Tetris, Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Sims of zelfs Snake. En we hebben ook aandacht voor liefhebberijen die dicht op games zitten, zoals Dungeons & Dragons, Lego en de films, series en strips rond reeksen zoals Star Wars en Marvel. Het komt allemaal aan bod in All in the Game. All in the Game werd als podcast al in 2022 opgenomen in het archief van Het Nederlands instituut voor Beeld & Geluid in Hilversum - als eerste podcast van BNR Nieuwsradio en één van de eerste gamepodcasts van allemaal. Gezamenlijk met talloze Nederlandse televisieprogramma’s, radioshows, games, websites, webvideo’s en podcast vormt dit materiaal de Nederlandse mediageschiedenis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dikke vrienden bereiken grote doelen. Voetbal-superster Cristiano Ronaldo van club Al-Nassr vergezelde de Saoedi-Arabische kroonprins Mohammed bin Salman bij zijn bezoek aan president Trump in het Witte Huis. Zij symboliseerden het succes van de dikke vriendschap van Trump met FIFA-voorzitter Gianni Infantino, die het WK van 2034 via een dubieuze procedure naar Saoedi-Arabië wist te krijgen. MBS, zoals de kroonprins wordt genoemd, was op voorhand al de grote winnaar van het bezoek aan Trump. Hij krijgt F-35 jachtvliegtuigen, mega-investeringen van de Amerikaanse tech-industrie in AI-krachtcentrales, en vooral het respect dat hij kwijt was sinds de moord op de Saoedische journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018 in Istanbul. Hoewel CIA-onderzoek destijds uitwees dat MBS de moord zelf had gelast, wist Trump nu plotseling zeker dat ‘Mohammed daar niets van wist’ . Hij ging tekeer tegen journalisten die er vragen over stelden. Een vraag van ABC-verslaggever Mary Bruce noemde hij ‘afschuwelijk, onbeschoft en verschrikkelijk’. ‘ABC zou zijn uitzendvergunning moeten verliezen, jullie nieuws is zo fake en zo fout’. Het was een mooi doorkijkje in hoe Realpolitik werkt. En Trump is zeker niet de enige die deze strategie toepast. Jimmy Carter verkocht in 1976 aan de Pakistaanse dictator en moordenaar Zia Ul-Haq A-7 bommenwerpers. In 2011, tijdens de Arabische Lente werden we er plotseling aan herinnerd dat Nederland duizend pantservoertuigen van het type YPR-765 aan het Egyptische leger had verkocht, want die werden ingezet tegen protesterende burgers. In 2016 sloot de EU de Turkije-deal over de opvang van migranten. Vlak daarna overleefde president Erdogan ternauwernood een staatsgreep, en sloeg meedogenloos terug, tegen de oppositie, studenten, rechters, leraren, journalisten en al dan niet terecht van sympathie voor de in ballingschap levende geestelijke Fethulla Gülen verdachte burgers. Konden wij met zo’n man wel die Turkije-deal voorzetten? Ja, hoor, want anders gooiden de populisten de Europese regeringen voor de bus. Nog geen vier jaar geleden werd in Qatar het WK voetbal gespeeld. In de aanloop kwamen er onthullingen over de slavenarbeid door arbeidsmigranten bij de bouw van de stadions, en 6500 van hen die door hitte en uitputting het leven verloren. Voor de VS een lastig probleem, want Qatar huist ook de grootste Amerikaanse militaire basis, inclusief de regionale bevelhebber. Nederland zat te dubben: koning wél of níet naar het WK. Het is allemaal vergeten nu Qatar – hoewel hoofdsponsor van Hamas – zo’n creatieve rol speelt in het oplossen van de Midden-Oostencrisis. Vergeten en vergeven. Net als de moord op Khashoggi. Of, zoals Trump het noemde: ‘ach ja, dingen gebeuren’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Episode 113 we sit down with Dr. Margie Davenport, Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Program for Pregnancy and Postpartum Health at the University of Alberta. Margie has spent more than two decades advancing the science of exercise during pregnancy and postpartum, collaborating with organizations including FIFA, Sport Canada, ACSM, and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada. She walks us through the transformative cardiovascular, metabolic, and biomechanical adaptations that make pregnancy "the ultimate stress test," while explaining how exercise supports both maternal and fetal health. We also dig into her recent work on long-duration training during pregnancy, postpartum return-to-run recommendations, pelvic floor considerations, and the complex intersections of REDs, mental health, breastfeeding, and musculoskeletal injury risk. Margie's research dispels longstanding misconceptions and offers evidence-based guidance for athletes who want to stay active through every stage of pregnancy and return to sport with confidence. This is an essential conversation for anyone who cares about the science of women's health and performance.

Welcome to Church Pew Sports Ep 192 - Show Me The Money - The New World Order of College Sports In this episode of Church Pew Sports, hosts Bill Hobson, Pastor Paul Miller, David Collins, and Randy Gilmer dive headfirst into one of the busiest, wildest stretches in the sports calendar — and connect it all back to real life, real faith, and the pursuit of integrity in a chaotic world. The conversation opens with a fast-paced recap of the latest action across the sports landscape, including the thrilling World Series finale, the launch of the NBA and NHL seasons, and the ever-spinning chaos of the college football coaching carousel. NFL talk dominates the next segment, beginning with the Chicago Bears' surprising 7–3 record and the Detroit Lions' emotional rollercoaster season.  The group continues by comparing team-building philosophies, contrasting the Eagles' bold, trade-driven roster strategy with the Lions' more hesitant approach under Brad Holmes. This leads to a wider conversation about officiating — a familiar source of "Holy Discontent" — including the perception that controversial calls often go against Detroit. They commend the ACC's transparent replay system and then shift to the billion-dollar private-equity proposal being considered by the Big Ten. Michigan and USC are pushing back, raising concerns about valuation and binding long-term commitments, sparking a deeper conversation about how college athletics is drifting toward a fully transactional model. Bill laments how NIL has fundamentally changed college basketball and shares his longing for a simpler, relationship-driven era of college sports. David echoes that sentiment, reflecting on how sports and even politics feel increasingly exposed, with the "romantic curtain" pulled back for good. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire discussion of FIFA's controversial World Cup ticket practices, NCAA sanctions, and the ripple effects of Michigan State's punishment in the college football scandal. Finally, the crew closes with a powerful reminder about character and legacy, inspired by Maryland basketball coach Buzz Williams, who said he hopes to be remembered not for wins or money but for being a faithful husband and father. Another week, another blend of sports talk, cultural insight, humor, and faith as the Church Pew Sports crew helps listeners see the bigger picture behind the games we love.   This week's CPS Starting Host Lineup: Bill Hobson Pastor Paul Miller David Collins Randy Gilmer --------- Did you know you can now WATCH Church Pew Sports on our new YOUTUBE Channel?

The World Cup is a sporting competition between national football teams to determine the best of them. But it's always been a vessel for so much more, not least the ambitions of political leaders ranging from the mildly ethical to the downright evil. Host countries want to tell a story about themselves on the global stage, the winners make the case for their own national greatness, and there are a million more stories around this famous tournament that nobody planned for.A new book from Jonathan Wilson — columnist for The Guardian, co-host of the Libero podcast, and esteemed local Substacker — seeks to tell the very best tales from nearly 100 years of World Cup football. The Power and the Glory: The History of the World Cup is a delightful read, full of sharp insight and laugh-out-loud moments. From Benito Mussolini's bonus trophy for the 1934 World Cup winners — the Coppa del Duce — to the inside story of France's disastrous 2010 World Cup, to the insidious inner workings of FIFA in the modern era, it's all there.Wilson joins the show this week to talk a little Premier League title race before we get into his book, the latest edition of the World Cup next summer, why Gianni Infantino's reign as FIFA chief makes us all pine for the days of Sepp Blatter, and a whole lot more.Go get your copy of The Power and the Glory after you've had a listen here!Get more sharp coverage of the world's game at TheFootballWeekend.com ↗️ Hosted on Acast.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 32: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Quislings. Traitors. Cowards. Capitulators. Collaborators. Fakes. Frauds. Enablers. Betrayers. Failures. Political Prostitutes. Senators Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King need to be expelled from the Democratic party and any that mistakenly think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried. Must be. They are not progressives, they are not pragmatists, they are not even moderates. They are fools. Their careers must be ended. Now. Durbin, Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now. Done. Forgotten. Let us hear their names no more. Last night these eight Senators voted to fold, without any pressure, without any bribe, without anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off ObamaCare in order to reopen and fund the government – for only three months, mind you – in exchange not for magic beans but just the promise of a vote in which they’ll GET magic beans – a vote ON the health care subsidies - IF half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote about magic beans. Which they won’t win. Their rationalizations were pathetic and suggested their familiarity with the reality of the Senate, of Trump, of the Republican Party, was less than that of the average Senate Page. What's worse is, this happens now as the reality becomes more and clear: Trump’s mind is gone. It’s so bad even The Washington Post noticed. It’s so bad The Washington Post even put it on their front page. He’s hyping weight loss drugs. In The Oval Office. And how he and he alone can bring down their price. And a weight loss patient there to extoll weight loss drugs and say how safe they are and praise Trump’s wonderfulness… collapses. Folds. Drops, slow-motion, like a deflating inflatable tube man at a used car sales lot. Trump – whose mind is gone - not only doesn’t help the guy on the floor… he’s offended he upstaged him. And then Trump – whose MIND IS GONE - falls asleep. For the second time. Or as The Washington Post put it: “A Closer Look At Trump’s Apparent Struggles To Fight Off Sleep In The Oval Office” read the Post headline. “A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds found that the president spent nearly 20 minutes apparently battling to keep his eyes open…” 815 words follow. And four pictures. One of Trump – whose mind is gone - with one eye closed. One with one eye closed and two fingers rubbing it. One with both eyes closed. One where you can almost SEE the snoring. Even. The Washington Post. Knows It. Let’s step back from the nuts-and-bolts of the government shutdown to try to process how it was perceived by Trump…whose mind is gone. HE thought it would be a GOOD idea to cut off food stamps so lines at soup kitchens would get longer just as it was getting cold. He thought the correct political move as the Holidays approached was… government-sponsored starvation. He believed that the country would praise him for… gradually shutting down all air travel – including all air travel FOR HIS SUPPORTERS – first for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas and New Year’s. He thought these were good political moves. SPORTSBALLCENTER (30:00): Yes, legal gambling could send two Cleveland pitchers to jail for 65 years. But no, they didn't actually make a Shohei Ohtani Used Jockstrap baseball card. B-Block (38:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico thinks the first thing a Mayor-Elect of New York has to do is answer questions about the 2028 Senate elections. The Breaker media newsletter finds the New York Times fricasseeing its own digital books. That's right: FIFA isn't just polishing Trump's knob, it's inventing a "Peace Prize" so it can polish it harder. And Dr. Oz wants you to lose 400 pounds by the midterms. C-Block (55:00) WHY I'M NOT A HOCKEY ANNOUNCER: One of my favorite sportscasting stories: how my budding career as a plucky pucky play-by-play guy was thwarted when the team we were broadcasting "forgot to rent the rink" - and how I avenged myself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
