Welcome back to Open The Voice Gate! Case (https://twitter.com/_inyourcase) and Mike (https://twitter.com/fujiiheya) are back with an update on the comings and goings of Dragongate.Open The Voice Gate returns to discuss the recent passing of Benjamin Satterly, better known as PAC. They discuss his Dragongate legacy, his entire career including PWG, DGUSA & DGUK, NXT and AEW, his feuds with Ricochet and Dragon Kid, and a lot more about the greatest foreigner in Dragon System history.Case's PAC article can be found at https://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2026/09/29/remembering-the-man-that-gravity-forgot-pacs-career-in-10-matches/Our podcast provider, Red Circle, offers the listeners the option to sponsor the show.

John & John reunite for the first time in months, and unfortunately the first topic they have to discuss is something no one wanted to be talking about: the incredibly tragic and sudden news of PAC passing away. That's right at the start so wanted to make sure I noted it for anyone listening who isn't ready to hear that sort of thing- it does come up a few more times in the episode as well. RIP to an incredible professional wrestler and, by all accounts, an even more incredible man.They then have to make an awkward transition over to discussing the imminent closing of an iconic Japanese wrestling venue, Shinjuku FACE, as John takes you through some of their own personal history with the venue and talks about how much they're going to miss banging their head on the bathroom ceiling, ahead of discussing a bunch of final FACE shows later in the episode. But first they head over to the thankfully not closing Korakuen Hall to discuss the finals of an eventful AJPW Oudou Tournament, discussing the first of two bonafide MOTYCs, a homegrown wrestler finally winning the big one, and more. They also look ahead to an upcoming AJPW tour that really spreads the wealth around a bunch of different shows, so to speak.Then it's over to the King of Sports to discuss a somewhat underwhelming Destruction in Kobe show, at least until a fantastic main event saved it somewhat. There's lots of speculation about where things might be headed into Wrestle Kingdom season too, as they look ahead first to the upcoming King of Pro Wrestling show (and two Korakuen title matches as well).And then they finally get to the whole load of final shows for each promotion at iconic venues, starting with DDT (maybe the promotion most synonymous with the venue of all!). They discuss a final title challenge, Daisuke Sasaki's incredibly high memorabilia valuation, and more! Afterward it's time to finally leave the men's wrestling behind and shift into joshi, first with Sareee-ism Chapter XII, a fantastic show with another bonafide MOTYC in the main event. Then they discuss the final Sendai Girls show from FACE which featured a big debut and John Bivins describing how much he loves Spike Nishimura.John (Original) then goes it alone for two more show reviews, first the final TJPW show from FACE that also serves as their go home show for the big Wrestle Princess VII event next week (which they also dutifully preview). Finally, they wrap things up with another Ice Ribbon review, this time the second half of a doubleheader from Yokohama.

In the latest episode of the GWP, host Jesse Collings is joined by Alan4L of Alan4L's Pro Wrestling Paradise Podcast on Pro Wrestling Torch to discuss how wrestling styles have gone from being unique to different promotions, to main event matches looking the same across all promotions.They discuss the history of wrestling becoming more homogenized, the biggest in-ring influences of the last 20 years that have contributed to the style, and the few wrestlers today who work a unique style, as well as a lot more in an extremely detailed and nerdy discussion about what we see in the ring today. Our Sponsors:* Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

One of the more recent tropes in pro wrestling is "Why am I so violent?", where a babyface wrestler will have a crisis of conscience about the level of violence they are dishing out against their opponent (and typically stare at their hands while doing so). It's meant to be this dramatic emotional arc, but more often it just makes the babyface look like an idiot and a coward for not wanting to hurt their opponent. On this episode, Andrew comes up with one of his delightfully devilish puns with a topic called "Why am I so violin?", in which he and first-time guest Hypnotoad (VOW Discord) play songs that have a string section instrument in them (violin, viola, cello, double bass). Artists played include Kansas, The Cranberries, Ben E. King, Dexys Midnight Runners, The Shirelles, Queensrÿche, The Verve, and many more.

Joe Crispin joins the JAMODI Podcast for Episode 324 for a deep conversation on coaching philosophy, player development, playing fast, shooting with confidence, and creating an environment where players learn how to play instead of simply learning plays.Coach Crispin explains why his “system” starts with the players in the locker room. Rather than forcing every team into the same style, he believes coaches should understand who they have and teach that group how to play together at its highest level. joe-mattJoe and Matt discuss using constraints to develop decision-makers, creating an aggressive mentality on both ends of the floor, the value of the shot clock, analytics and shot selection, developing confident shooters, and why coaches have to live out the freedom they tell their players they have.Joe also shares a bigger perspective on coaching. Basketball should connect players to each other and to the community they represent. He reflects on how his own perspective has evolved from being consumed with winning to understanding the relationships, joy, and growth that can come through the game. joe-mattIn this episode:Building an authentic coaching philosophyTeaching players how to play togetherPlaying fast without playing recklesslyDeveloping aggressive playersShooting with convictionGiving players freedom—and actually meaning itUsing constraints in practiceWhy Joe believes in the shot clockShot selection and analyticsDevelopment vs. performanceBuilding around the players you haveCoaching through lossesConnecting basketball to something bigger than winningJoe's message to coaches is simple but challenging: know what you believe, teach it clearly, and have the conviction to live with it.

In this episode, Candida Fink MD and Jo-Ann Berry take a friendly but critical look at Jonathan Haidt's bestseller, The Anxious Generation. The hosts break down Haidt's four key recommendations for raising healthier kids and challenge some common buzzwords (like “brain rewiring”) with up-to-date research. They mix in plenty of real-world wisdom from the front lines of education and psychiatry, tackling what families and schools are actually up against when it comes to technology, screen time, and the mental health of young people.Episode Chapters & Timestamps00:00 Intro: Coffee Chaos & Catching UpThe episode starts with Jo-Ann Berry and Candida Fink MD swapping coffee disaster stories and welcoming listeners to another conversation at the intersection of school and mental health.01:47 The Anxious Generation: Haidt's Four RulesJo-Ann Berry introduces Jonathan Haidt's four major recommendations: no smartphones before high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and more unsupervised play.03:50 Facing Reality: The Pressure on FamiliesCandida Fink MD highlights the real-life struggle for families to follow these guidelines given the strong pull of community standards and FOMO.07:47 ⭐ HIGHLIGHT: The (Lack of) Science on “Rewiring” Kids' BrainsCandida Fink MD explains there's little evidence smartphones are literally rewiring young brains, pushing for honest, non-scary science communication.11:30 How Tech Hooks Us: Dopamine, Design, and Predatory AppsThe conversation turns to how tech and gaming companies use brain science to keep everyone—especially kids and teens—coming back for more.15:44 Gender Differences & Power for Marginalized GroupsThe hosts discuss how boys and girls are socialized into different tech habits, while also acknowledging that online spaces can be crucial support networks for LGBTQ+ kids and other marginalized youth.21:27 Redefining Success: There's More to Life Than a PaycheckJo-Ann Berry and Candida Fink MD critique the tendency to judge success by career and financial outcomes alone—reminding us that connection, emotional health, and care work matter too.30:43 Free Play & the Lost Art of Appropriate RiskWhy “boredom” and unstructured time (even with a little risk) are keys to kid's growth—and how families used to (and still can) nurture these crucial experiences.34:17 One Good Thing & Closing Shout OutsJo-Ann Berry celebrates feeling better, and Candida Fink MD throws some love to the recent Bad Bunny halftime show for its infectious energy.Key TakeawaysThe Four Pillars: Basic agreement on no smartphones pre-high school, no social media before 16, phone-free schools, and encouraging more free play and independence.Science vs. Hype: No strong evidence (yet) that smartphones and social media are literally “rewiring” brains—so let's be careful with scary language.Compassion & Community First: The most successful changes will come from “ground up” agreements among parents, not just top-down rules.Know Your Tech: Social media and gaming platforms are designed to hold attention; understanding this is the first step toward making smarter choices.Benefits for Marginalized Youth: Online spaces aren't all bad—there's real power and connection for many kids who don't see themselves represented elsewhere.Redefining Success: Remember, there are lots of ways to measure a “successful” life—mental health, relationships, and community are just as important as financial gain.Practical Tips for FamiliesBuild Community Agreements: Connect with other families to set mutual expectations around devices and apps—individual change is hard in a vacuum.Teach Critical Consumption: Regularly talk with your kids about how, and why, tech platforms try to keep them engaged.Encourage Analog Fun: Make space for (and celebrate!) boredom, spontaneous play, and outdoor adventures—sometimes the best learning happens away from screens.Watch for Signs: Keep an eye out for when gaming or online time stops being fun and starts interfering with sleep, relationships, or schoolwork.Resources MentionedBook: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan HaidtBook: Of Boys and Men by Richard ReevesArticle: Is Technology Really Ruining Teens' Lives? by Molly Fischer (The New Yorker)Support: NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) for families navigating youth mental healthFurther Reading: AAP Technical Report on Digital Ecosystems, Children, and AdolescentsShow Notes: [References to selected scientific studies] to be listed in the episode's web notesLooking for more practical suggestions, resources, or future topics?

John is flying solo this week on Wrestling Omakase due to being at another anime convention, although this one came with an indoor waterpark! Wow! In theory they were doing this episode on the road, although in practice most of it ended up being recorded at home anyway. They start things out with STARDOM's latest PPV event from Yokohama Arena from this past Saturday (9/12), discussing a couple really good matches, some kinda meh booking, and an, uh, interesting debut for a new English announcer! Then it's over to Dragongate for their own major show from 9/12, which had all the meh booking of the STARDOM show but none of the high end match quality to make up for it. Of course the big booking decision everyone's talking about came in the Brave Gate match, and John breaks down both sides of that debate in detail!Then it's back to the tournaments, starting out with the entire first round of AJPW's Oudou Tournament broken down over three nights! John discusses some really awesome stuff as AJPW continues having a big year. Then they head over to Marigold to discuss the middle nights of their own tournament (nights 5-8), a real mixed bag that had a bunch they could recommend and a bunch more they weren't that into.Follow Wrestling Omakase's Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: http://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialOur Sponsors:* Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

One of Dragongate's signature matches is the Unit Disbands Match, in which two units battle it out and the losing group is forced to break up. It's a match with high stakes and drama, especially in a promotion where units have been so prevalent since the beginning. The world of music has seen plenty of bands disband over the years as well, whether because of hatred, death, or just reaching a natural conclusion. Andrew and returning guest Mike Spears (Open the Voice Gate) play songs from the last album before a band breaks up (though not necessarily their final album). Artists played include Roxy Music, American Football, The Zombies, The Stone Roses, Pantera, Sublime, Pink Floyd, and many more.Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrew / @spearsovationsListen to Open the Voice Gate/Those Days: https://redcircle.com/shows/open-the-voice-gateSign up for Spearsovations: spearsovations.ghost.ioAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateOur Sponsors:* Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

They lead off with some wrestling homework before reviewing a very disappointing Rey De Parejas 2026 Finals Korakuen as an ineffective go-home for Saturday's show. Case and Mike then breakdown every match on the annual Ota Ward card with four title matches, the return of Uhaa Nation, and a lot more!Our podcast provider, Red Circle, offers the listeners the option to sponsor the show.

Omakase is back for another episode, as John is joined by returning guest Paul Volsch, co-host of the Emerald Flow Show on this very network! They start out a week of talking about mostly smaller shows building to bigger ones with STARDOM's 9/6 Korakuen Hall event, a show that featured some good build to their upcoming Yokohama Budokan show and also a truly horrendous High Speed Title match. They then give a full preview of said Yokohama Budokan show on 9/12 including how likely they think all the major titles are to change hands.Then it's back to the world of Tokyo Joshi to cover their 9/5 Yokohama Radiant Hall event, featuring a great three-way tag match to determine the Princess Tag challengers on their major Ota show early next month. They also give a quick look ahead at what's coming up for TJPW, including an early look at said Ota card and how tickets are moving for it so far. They then continue their ongoing coverage of Marigold's Dream Star GP with a look at the day/night doubleheader from Osaka, including some stuff that really worked for them and a couple things that really, really didn't. (NOTE: This was recorded before Nao Ishikawa withdrew from the rest of her Dream Star GP matches- just noting this since at one point we speculate about whether or not she's out for the rest of the tournament, and now we obviously know she is!)Finally, they wrap things up with a quite passionate review of Dragongate's 9/3 Korakuen show, a truly baffling event on multiple levels. Allegedly this was to build their own major show, also on 9/12 from Ota, but unless you count Jiro Shimbashi it's hard to figure out how exactly this show was supposed to even do that. They rant quite a bit about DG booking in 2026 in general as they also preview said Ota show with an absolutely absurd name (seriously, what was wrong with Dangerous Gate guys??). Also some other odds & ends including Paul attending All In in London, the Wrestle Kingdom 21 ticket prices & on sale dates finally being revealed, and more!Check out the Emerald FlowShow: https://redcircle.com/shows/the-emerald-flowshowFollow Wrestling Omakase's Twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/wrestleomakaseFollow John on Bluesky: http://bsky.app/profile/justoneenby.bsky.socialOur Sponsors:* Sign up for MyBookie today and use our code VOWNETWORK for access to MyBookie's one of a kind Bet Back Bonus!

Last Spring I had two of my grandkids with me during a visit to the community where I spent my elementary and middle school years. I was prompted to take a trip down memory lane when right at noon, the fire whistle at the local volunteer fire department let out that familiar siren. I stopped dead in my tracks. “Did you hear that?” I asked the kids. “Yes”, they replied. “That's the twelve-o'clock whistle, and there's another one that will go off again at five pm.” During the 1960's it was those regularly timed test whistles that my mother was talking about whenever she sent us out the door play, telling us to come home for lunch when you hear the twelve o'clock whistle, and home for dinner when you hear the five o'clock whistle. We were involved in what was called unsupervised and unstructured free play. Researchers now tell us that this is what builds resiliency and agency in kids. Parents, we help our kids when we pull back on the helicopter parenting.

You know it by now: it's our annual Free Play episode where we talk about anything and everything related to video games. What do we have this time? Listen in and find out! 

In this Episode, why do strangers on social media sometimes care more than your own friends and family?

We also talk about why staying calm is the fastest way to win almost any debate. Meanwhile, "Mr. Burns" Mark Carney appears to think Canadians will believe anything they're told, as gaslighting continues to be the preferred strategy whenever reality gets in the way.
