Let's dip our toes into Texas once again!  In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys review a lesser example of what World Class Championship Wrestling can provide, with matches featuring Captain Frank Dusek and Wild Bill Irwin.  Gary Hart ushers in a feud between the Great Kabuki and Kerry Von Erich, while Kevin Von Erich gets a squash match against Pseudo Castro.  If back acne can be appropriate, why aren't time limit draws?

Jason of HOBI and Sean of Pittsburgh Nerd are back at it again to talk all things wrestling, including previewing WrestleMania 41 and making their predictions! Unfortunately,  there is no Ronnie Garvin talk this time but the chaps do talk Manny Fernandez, the skill of Gary Hart, why no one cared about Ken Patera and having "Charlotte Flair Heat" is a thing. Plus discussing the future of tag team wrestling, greatest commentary teams and even some AEW talk! 

Ever wonder what really happens behind the curtain in professional wrestling? WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long pulls back the veil in this captivating episode of Wrestling's Road Trip After Hours, sharing stories that only a true industry veteran could tell.The conversation kicks off with breaking news about Mick Foley's recent car accident - a crash so severe that looking at the wreckage, you'd assume the worst. Yet somehow, the Hardcore Legend walked away with minor injuries, proving once again why he earned his infamous moniker. Long and host Mac Davis marvel at Foley's resilience, a testament to a career built on surviving the impossible.Long shares priceless memories of managing legendary tag teams like Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed), including the hilarious origin story of Simmons' iconic "Damn!" catchphrase - born when Long accidentally left him standing in the snow during a road trip. These authentic moments of camaraderie and chaos showcase the human side of wrestling rarely seen by fans.Perhaps most fascinating is Long's perspective on how wrestling has evolved - particularly lamenting the disappearance of managers who once played crucial roles in getting talent over. "When I was managing, I had more heat than the guys," Long reveals, pinpointing what many believe is missing from today's product. His Mount Rushmore of wrestling managers (Gary Hart, Skandar Akbar, Bobby Heenan, and Lou Albano) serves as a reminder of how these personalities once shaped the industry.Whether you're a longtime wrestling fan or new to the squared circle, these insider stories provide a rare glimpse into wrestling history from someone who truly lived it.

With Trump's imminent return to the White House, we've decided to take stock of how political and journalistic norms have evolved over the years. For this week's midweek podcast, we're sharing an episode from Radiolab that aired in October, on the whirlwind history of Gary Hart, a young charismatic Democrat who in 1987 was poised to win his party's nomination and possibly the presidency – until a bombshell sex scandal derailed it all. Brooke Gladstone and Radiolab co-host Latif Nasser discuss that history, and why sex scandals don't really matter anymore.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Welcome to episode 13 of Pro Wrestling Spotlight Rewind - where we look back at classic shows from the archives of John Arezzi, going back to the very early days of pro wrestling talk on the radio. On this episode - we will review show #13 show which aired on 1440 WNYG in Babylon, NY on July 2nd, 1989. The review of this show brought a lot of comparisons to what PWS eventually became - which was a true insiders radio program. But that was not the case in July 1989. From Broadway Sonny Blaze and John discussing the "new" East Coast Wrestling (ECW) organization that was starting up on Long Island and wrestlers being contacted by them (the promotion never got off the ground), to the worked interviews with Indy women wrestlers, to John promoting next week's exclusive interview with Terry Funk - the whole show was one big work! Listen for the first reference ever of the "Great American Nightmare" when 1989 John discusses Dusty Rhodes and his vignettes in the WWF.

In 1987, Gary Hart was a young charismatic Democrat, poised to win his party's nomination and possibly the presidency. Many of us know the story of what happened next, and even if you don't, it's a familiar tale. Back in 2016, we examined how, when this happened, politicians and political reporters found themselves in uncharted territory. And with help from author Matt Bai, we looked at how the events of that May shaped the way we cover politics, and expanded our sense of what's appropriate when it comes to judging a candidate.In the wake of the 2016 election, and in the throes of our current political moment, it would seem we've come full circle in the weirdest way. So we sat down with Brooke Gladstone, co-host of our sister show here at WNYC, On the Media, to talk about why sex scandals don't matter anymore. We have some exciting news! In the “Zoozve” episode, Radiolab named its first-ever quasi-moon, and now it's your turn!

Mark Udall, former Democratic US Senator and House member from Colorado, comes from the famed Udall family of the Mountain West - including his father, Congressman Mo Udall, and uncle, former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall under both JFK & LBJ. But Mark Udall largely stayed away from politics until his mid 40s - having an entire career within the outdoor leadership organization Outward Bound. However, once he flipped the switch to politics, his ascent was rapid: elected to the Colorado State House in 1996, the US House in 1998, and the US Senate in 2008. In this conversation, Senator Udall talks his famous political family, his own early relationship to politics, and memories of 20+ years in elected office that span both highs and lows - with great stories and insights from someone with one of the most unique arcs in American politics. IN THIS EPISODEGrowing up between Tucson, AZ and Washington DC...Lessons about public service learned from his mother...Growing up in a political family of with a Congressman for a father and Cabinet Secretary for an uncle...The political legacy of his father, Mo Udall....The famous friendship between John McCain and Mo Udall...Old Mountain West connections among the Udalls, Goldwaters, and Romneys...The Udall brothers' opinions of both Presidents Johnson and Kennedy...Mark works New Hampshire for his father's 1976 presidential campaign...The 20-year career he had before entering politics...Running for office for the first time in his late 40s...Mark rolls out his Bill Clinton impression...What surprised him most - both positives and negatives - about serving in Congress...The behind-the-scenes machinations of why he didn't run for Senate in 2004 and did run in 2008...Why he was caught flatfooted in his 2014 Senate re-election...Memories of some of the most intense moments on the floor of the House and Senate...The now-infamous role the issue of abortion played in his 2014 race against Cory Gardner...Why he was one of the few members of Congress to list "no religious affiliation" in his bio...The current projects he's most interested in...The Mark Udall recommendations for traveling through Colorado...AND 50 mile hikes, Michael Bennet, Sherry Boehlert, Hale Boggs, Jimmy Carter, Grover Cleveland, Rocky Colavito, Democratic bankers, Denver Nuggets, Don't Ask Don't Tell, William O.

There is nothing more loathsome to the average upper-crust liberal intellectual than an American holding Donald Trump's book in one arm and the Bible in the other. At least, that's what the stock image on Matt Bai's column in the Washington Post tells us.Matt Bai — political columnist and one-time screenwriter for a DOA film about Gary Hart called The Front Runner — is going to give the Left all the justification it needs to continue their ongoing hate campaign against ordinary Americans.He writes:But now? After the violent sacking of the Capitol? After Trump's promise to behave like a dictator (well, okay, I guess if it's only for a day)? After eight years of bigotry and baseness and flat-out lies?To say that Trump's voters aren't aware of these things, or don't fully comprehend them, or are firmly in the grip of misinformation, is to say that they're simply fools. And I've met way too many rural Americans to believe that. If they're ignorant, then their ignorance, at this point, is willful.It's a rebuttal to a column by Nicholas Kristof in the New York Times pleading with the Left to find their humanity when it comes to Trump and MAGA.It isn't enough that Kristof writes:By all means denounce Trump, but don't stereotype and belittle the nearly half of Americans who have sided with him.We can't separate them, argues Bai. If they support Trump then they are the named enemy. They are not worthy of our empathy, at least not until — he hopes — Kamala Harris wins the presidency. Then, they might thaw out and treat them like they belong in the country they love. Don't bet on it. Bai writes:These voters don't support Trump because they labor under some illusion that he's going to rescue their communities — not anymore. They support him because he's willing to blow up the country if it means teaching insufferable intellectuals a lesson, and so are they. It's the same vengeful impulse that leads to autocracy in unequal societies all over the world. It is, at its core, unpatriotic, no matter how many flags you fly, or how many ways you try to rationalize it.Are you starting to see why The Front Runner flopped?The Frontrunner is a rescue operation for Gary Hart's legacy. It was the mean old media, you see, a media that has suddenly grown a conscience because now they don't do their jobs of chasing stories lest they weaken a weak candidate like Gary Hart or Kamala Harris. Instead, they spread propaganda on why America should hate and fear Trump and his supporters lest they be accused of “normalizing” them.The Front Runner was bad for the same reason The Washington Post and the New York Times are unreadable: their bias suffocates any practical purpose they might have otherwise had. It's like spending time with the kid who sits in the front of the class, always raising his hand with the right answer. After a while, you overdose on the sanctimony. This is a public episode.

At a moment when the nation seems intractably divided and incapable of addressing our long-term challenges, a single movement, No Labels, is working to get Washington past the brain-dead politics of Democrats vs. Republicans. It's the brainchild of Nancy Jacobson, described by New York Times columnist David Brooks as No Labels' “undeterrable” leader. Having spent her early career helping Gary Hart and Bill Clinton remake the Democratic Party, Jacobson worked for Sen. Evan Bayh for fifteen years before launching No Labels in 2010. Over the past few years, host Chris Meek has used Next Steps Forward as a platform for civil discourse when it comes to politics. Ms. Jacobson and her organization have charted a path for what civil yet effective political conversations and actions should and can look like for Americans. Throughout the hour she will give a voice to America's often ignored political majority, which is overshadowed and drowned out by the extremes of the two major parties. This will be a conversation rooted in civility, which regardless of political beliefs, audience members can all be appreciative of.

The Trump hush money trial has us talking about the National Enquirer. But it seems like the tabloid never left the political conversation. The National Enquirer's pictures, scoops, and reporting have influenced the establishment political media for years. In this week's episode's of C-SPAN's podcast “The Weekly,” we revisit what we might be the most famous example of how National Enquirer reporting shapes broader political reporting – and even the presidential race. Our focus: Gary Hart. How did conventional media react to the National Enquirer's reporting of the Democratic presidential candidate having an alleged affair in 1987? Hear all the self-reflection and hand-wringing in “The Weekly.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Altalink President and CEO Gary Hart in conversation with host Francis Bradley about the energy transition from the perspective of a transmission company. The conversation includes a bit of a deep dive into the impact of wildfires, and what is being done to prevent and/or limit their impact. Gary also talks about the energy transition, the challenges of decarbonization, the future energy mix in Alberta, affordability for customers, and how supply chain challenges are not likely to disappear anytime soon. They close the conversation with Gary's recommendation for an addition to the Flux Capacitor Book Club.

We take you on a wonderful trip down memory lane with our newest exclusive shoot interview with one of wrestling's all time greatest managers, Playboy Gary Hart. An underrated booker, Hart earned his chops in wrestling working for Fritz Von Erich's World Class promotion and helped make that Texas territory one of the most exciting in wrestling history. Seeing everything first hand, Hart talked about all the big angles – including the night Terry Gordy slammed the cage door on Kerry Von Erich along with the hair match between the Von Erichs and Gino Hernandez and Chris Adams – and all the heartbreaking stories of the era. This is the perfect supplement for anyone who enjoyed the Heroes of World Class DVD. Gary gives one of the most in-depth accounts of World Class on record and went into great detail on the lives, and passings, of each Von Erich. Emotionally powerful, this is a must-watch for any diehard fan of the Von Erichs, World Class, or the wrestling business in general. The information Hart gives just on the television production alone is invaluable as World Class was leaps and bounds ahead of the curve when it came to presentation. This is one shoot you will not want to miss! Hart certainly didn't leave out anything from his legendary WCW run including working with Sting, Great Muta, Terry Funk, and Lex Luger, among others. This is the one shoot where J-Tex finally gets its due! Old school wrestling fans are going to want to drop whatever they are doing and watch this shoot interview immediately as Gary Hart has seen it all and is one of the few who are still here to talk about it. Bill Watts. Jim Barnett. Paul Boesch. Bruiser Brody. Hart even worked for Court Bauer's MLW! Like we said, we covered EVERYTHING.

Joe Biden's not the only one whose competence is in question. Andrew Malcolm and I discuss the Dylan Byers report that the White House press corps has colluded to keep Biden's cognitive crisis a secret out of "indelicacy." We explore that issue at length, including a discussion of 2018's The Front Runner, an overlooked film about the Gary Hart scandal in the 1988 cycle. We also discuss the media's false narratives about the monkey business (heh) at St. Patrick's Cathedral last week.

Gary Hart, the frontrunner in the Democratic side of the 1988 race, hits a major setback. Not only his he hurt, but so are all the people who wanted to have the chance to beat him. Now what? Jump Ball, says an aide of new candidate Joe Biden. Biden hopes to fill the gap, with his appeal to Baby Boomers will carry him forward. Al Gore enter the race, swinging at everyone. Dick Gephardt comes up with a zero-to-hero TV ad. Bush just can't get through to country people. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to our series coverage of For All Mankind (on Apple TV+) by Story Archives. Join us week to week as we cover the hit Apple TV Plus show and it's interesting retelling of how history would have unraveled had the space race never ended. On this episode, we'll be doing a high level recap of what went down in seasons one through three and just how much occurred in that 30+ year span. From the first moon landing, to establishing a base on Mars, let's just say a lot has gone down. For All Mankind is an American science fiction drama television series created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi and produced for Apple TV+. The series dramatizes an alternate history depicting "what would have happened if the global space race had never ended" after the Soviet Union succeeds in the first crewed Moon landing ahead of the United States. The title is inspired by the lunar plaque left on the Moon by the crew of Apollo 11, which reads, in part, "We Came in Peace for All Mankind". The series stars an ensemble cast including Joel Kinnaman, Michael Dorman, Sarah Jones, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Wrenn Schmidt, Sonya Walger, and Krys Marshall. Cynthy Wu, Casey W. Johnson, and Coral Peña joined the main cast for the second season, while Edi Gathegi joined in the third. The series features historical figures (played by actors or appearing through archival footage) including Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, Mercury Seven astronaut Deke Slayton, rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, astronaut Sally Ride, NASA administrator Thomas Paine, NASA flight director Gene Kranz, U.S. senators Ted Kennedy and Gary Hart, along with U.S. presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton.

Chris hosts the first ever CHRISTORY Brainstorm, where we vet topics for future episodes. And then the first topic -- Son of Sam -- takes up most of the show. Chris, Carolin, and Nando get into that summer (Caroline lived through it and shares some of her experiences), before we switch gears to the brainstorming of Gary Hart, Clinton vs. Watergate, the Pepsi Army, money popping out of Pepsi cans, and more Shoutout to Birddogs and Factor -- they're no longer technically sponsoring the show for this one, but they were cool enough to do a few earlier and we still love them.
