Podcasts about Pittsburgh

Dec. 5 – Ep. 82: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark get right into the biggest topic of the week, and that's the future of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Do we agree with the calls to fire him, and is there an alternate path forward where he remains the coach with hope for a better future? Next, we discuss the state of the Steelers' offense and whether or not it is fixable. We discuss Pat Freiermuth continuing to be an afterthought and the addition of Adam Thielen, and whether he can make a real impact. For the last topic, we preview the Steelers' matchup against the Ravens and lay out what's at stake for both teams in this game. We also discuss how there couldn't be a worse setup to try to overcome the rushing performance the Ravens had against the Steelers in the playoffs last year. To end the show, we answer a listener question about play-action passing, and why it's not working in Pittsburgh. Thank you for joining us for this 40-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

The Esplanade development finally broke ground in Chateau, after nearly a decade of planning, which means we're one step closer to a permanent Ferris Wheel on the North Side. Plus, there are fresh hopes and dreams for Station Square now that a new developer is taking over. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo discuss what they'd like to see on the riverfront site, why alcohol sales are dipping in PA (and why Pennsylvanians can't get enough of Fireball and pink lemonade vodka), and why you'll soon see driverless taxis cruising down city streets.

The Bills are back at home this weekend after a physically dominant win on the road at Pittsburgh. The Bengals (4-8) come to Orchard park clinging to their playoff lives, but bolstered by the return of Joe Burrow who has been out since week two with a turf toe injury.

Post-Gazette insider Jason Mackey and host King Jemison recap a wild Penguins win in Tampa Bay on Thursday night and discuss Erik Karlsson's major turnaround this season. Jason and King start off by discussing the play of Tristan Jarry, who made 37 saves and likely stole the Penguins a win after their all-around lackluster performance. Is this version of Jarry here to stay? Is the kid line featuring Ben Kindel and Ville Koivunen here to stay, too, after both scored against Tampa Bay? And despite the win, what warning signs were present throughout the game for Pittsburgh? They then get into Erik Karlsson's improved play this season. What's behind it? Was he just not the right fit with Mike Sullivan? What has Dan Muse done to bring out this new, improved version of the defenseman? Is he more engaged, with a notable improvement in his positioning and puck control? What do the stats and metrics say? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pirates have made their first major move of the offseason, acquiring top-100 prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and pitching prospect Jesus Travieso from the Red Sox for right-hander Johan Oviedo, catching prospect Adonys Guzman and left-hander Tyler Samaniego. Pirates insider Colin Beazley analyzes the move with Noah Hiles and look at where Garcia might fit in best. Could he be an opening day outfielder? And does trading Oviedo mean anything about the future of Mitch Keller? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to Episode #98 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture. In this inspiring episode, Geoff Webster, Chair of the Pittsburgh Futures Collaborative, and Ken Segel explore what it takes to create healthier, safer, and more thriving communities. Geoff shares how his public-health roots and community work taught him that real change begins when leaders challenge themselves, step into uncomfortable spaces, and keep learning. He highlights the transformational gun-violence reduction effort in Pittsburgh—where a neighborhood once experiencing around 35 non-fatal shootings a year saw that number drop to just 4. Geoff calls it some of the most powerful work he's been part of, proving that what once seemed impossible becomes achievable when communities come together with courage and conviction. Throughout the conversation, Geoff and Ken emphasize visionary leadership, systems thinking, and the belief that people thrive when they're supported to grow. The conversation underscores how data, collaboration, and consistent leadership practices can drive meaningful progress in communities.

The Pirates and Red Sox just dropped a stunner: a five-player trade sending Johan Oviedo to Boston and bringing Jhostynxon García and pitching prospect Jesús Travieso to Pittsburgh, with Tyler Samaniego and Adonys Guzman also included in the deal. So… we're going live. Join us for an emergency NS9 breakdown as we sort through why this move happened, what the Pirates are really getting back, and how losing Oviedo reshapes the rotation and the offseason strategy. We'll dig into the reporting from Robert Murray and Jeff Passan, evaluate the return, and talk through what this signals about Ben Cherington's plans heading into 2026. Set your reminder and hop in the chat when we go live — where Pirates fans gather for fun, insight, and a little therapy. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ron has been spotted in Pittsburgh. The Bechtold Breakdown with Sean - LeBron James 10-point streak ends, Penn State looks like it has it's next head coach

How would a fight between Callas and Bechtold turn out? This is a historically mediocre version of Steelers/Ravens. The buzz has died down even from a year ago. However, this is a huge game for Tomlin. John Harbaugh is under some pressure, too. Can they ever get over the lump with Lamar Jackson? This is a massive swing for playoff odds. Do Steelers fans even want to make the playoffs? But a win will get fans excited again. Even if the Steelers lose out, they probably won't get a great draft pick. Joe really benefits from protein bars during the show. Lamar looked more healthy last week. Joe is taking the Ravens, as does Donny, albeit in a lower scoring game. Have the Steelers become the Eagles "Dream Team" in terms of disappointment? Will the Steelers attendance take a hit with another loss? Calls on the Steelers, one expecting a collapse and a Tomlin resignation. Another caller expects the Steelers to win in Baltimore. George Pickens reverted to his true self last night, but he still was probably worth keeping for one more year. "Timeliness" has been a problem for Pickens this season. We remember Antonio Brown in a hot air balloon. Ray Fittipaldo joins to discuss the struggles of both the Steelers and Ravens, if Mason is the best option currently. the outlook for Freiermuth, how much we'll see Adam Thielen, has TJ Watt lost a step, Heyward's play, the differences between the Steelers and Ravens in addressing their secondaries, free association, who has been the Steelers MVP? It's the internationally acclaimed numbers game: - 1,672, the Steelers yards differential over their past 17 games; 48 - Muth's percentage of snaps this season; 41.7 - Steelers conversion rate on 4th downs; 45 - Ben's TDs vs the Ravens; 22 - Lamar's record-season wins in December and later; 15 - Lamar's TD passes this year; 0 - Lamar Jackson has no TD passes in 3 straight starts; 1 - turnovers from Darius Slay; 5 - Lamar giveaways since week 11, the most in the NFL; 8 - receptions by Adam Thielen; 39.4 - Lamar's completion percentage on passes traveling 10 yards; 40 - the number of Steelers/Ravens games that have been one-possession contests; 39.3 - million dollars spent on Mark Andrews; 3 - since 2019, the Steelers are 3-30-1 when they lose the turnover battle. The Pirates made a trade for "the password", but Joe has a bad feeling about it. Donny seems more optimistic. This is definitely not a proven hitter. Who are some actual options for big-name hitters? Are the Pens going to be a playoff team? They've been the most entertaining team in town. Maybe the Pens should be a blueprint for the Steelers. Ron has been spotted in Pittsburgh. The Bechtold Breakdown with Sean - LeBron James 10-point streak ends, Penn State looks like it has it's next head coach. Steelers/Ravens quiz turned ugly. Donny prevailed but both guys struggled. College and NFL picks and Steelers over/unders.

This Sunday, December 7, at Highmark Stadium in chilly Orchard Park, NY, the Buffalo Bills (8-4) host the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8) in a Week 14 NFL showdown with massive playoff stakes. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. ET on FOX, flexed from a later slot amid Cincinnati's sudden spark. The Bills, clinging to AFC East control amid a wild-card scrum, must win to stay ahead of surging rivals like the Jets and Dolphins. For the Bengals, buried in the AFC North but two games back of Baltimore, this is elimination Sunday—Joe Burrow's return has ignited faint hopes of a late miracle run. Buffalo enters as a 6-point favorite (moneyline -275; over/under 52.5), per BetMGM, with a 70% win probability from models like Dimers. Their offense hums, led by MVP frontrunner Josh Allen (30 total TDs, second in NFL). Allen's dual-threat prowess—19 passing, 11 rushing scores—pairs with the league's top ground game (155.7 yards/game). James Cook, fresh off back-to-back 100-yard outbursts, feasts against Cincy's porous run D (153.3 yards allowed, second-worst). Buffalo's defense, No. 1 in pass yards conceded (163.2/game), has rebounded lately, forcing turnovers and stifling Pittsburgh 26-7 last week. Linebacker Shaq Thompson anchors the front seven, eyeing Bengals RB Chase Brown and TEs (65 catches, 527 yards, 6 TDs). Cincinnati counters with Burrow's precision (261 yards, 2 TDs in his Week 13 return from a foot injury) and Ja'Marr Chase's wizardry (chasing 1,000 yards for a fifth straight season). Chase torched Baltimore for 110 yards, but Buffalo's secondary—featuring Rasul Douglas—ranks eighth in yards per attempt allowed (6.5). The Bengals' D, 32nd in points (31.2/game) and total yards (410/game), leans on DE Joseph Ossai (5 sacks) amid Trey Hendrickson's absence. Tee Higgins remains in concussion protocol, thinning the arsenal. Experts lean Bills in a shootout: USA TODAY predicts 28-24 Buffalo, NBC sees a 27-23 squeaker. Yet Burrow's perfect December road record (5-0) tempts upset whispers. Expect Allen to exploit gaps early, Cook to grind clock, and Burrow to rally late—but home-field and Buffalo's December dominance (23-4 since 2020) tilt the scales. Fireworks await in this AFC thriller. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Bryant McFadden joins the show to talk about Mike Tomlin, the loss against the Buffalo Bills, and if it is time for a change in Pittsburgh.

Penn State seemingly has their next head coach in Matt Campbell. Poni says this is the best possible outcome for the Nittany Lions. Mullsy brings up all of the names that Penn State was linked to and it seems like Campbell was one of the later options. Campbell does not have that great of a record but they had an okay track record under Campbell.

12-5 PM Team 2pm Hour

Fair Game with Nick Farabaugh.

Do Steelers fans want the Steelers to win on Sunday? Poni says he does not want the Steelers to win against the Ravens to get false hope. He says he does not want the charade to continue and is now rooting for 8-9. Mullsy agrees and they both have had people reach out to them to say they want the Steelers to lose.

Munaf Manji, Dave Essler and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL contest betting for Week 14. Munaf Manji opens the NFL Week 14 Contest Podcast with Mackenzie Rivers and Uncle Dave Essler, noting the chaos of Thanksgiving week and that only 45 entries remain in Circa Survivor after a massive 851-entry wipeout. They break down how all three Thanksgiving favorites lost, how Chicago upset Philadelphia on Black Friday, and how the Rams' loss to Carolina knocked out four more on Sunday. Mackenzie and Dan were eliminated in Survivor, and Mack jokingly laments missing Fezzik's hindsight advice to take the Bears as a big dog. They review key picks for Week 14. Uncle Dave takes the Jaguars over the Colts, arguing Indy has been propped up by an easy schedule while Jacksonville, despite inconsistencies, is healthier and stronger at home. Munaf adds that Daniel Jones' injury limits the Colts' offense and expects Jacksonville to load the box against Jonathan Taylor. Mack sees the matchup as close but leans Jags due to historical Colts struggles in Jacksonville. Mack's best bet is the Bills over the Bengals, noting the line is similar to their January 2023 playoff meeting despite Cincinnati being far weaker now and Buffalo's elite rushing matchup against a poor Bengals rush defense. Munaf expects Buffalo to score 30+ and exploit Cincinnati's offensive-line issues even with Joe Burrow healthy. Dave agrees the Bengals' defense is too weak to justify market respect. Munaf's pick is the Ravens over the Steelers, citing Baltimore's bounce-back spot, Derrick Henry's matchup edge, Pittsburgh's struggling offense, and poor wide-receiver chemistry with Aaron Rodgers. Dave supports it, noting Pittsburgh's run-defense collapse vs Buffalo and internal frustration around Rodgers calling out teammates. Mack acknowledges Tomlin-as-dog trends but still leans Ravens due to matchup disadvantages. They discuss whether Tomlin's 19-season winning-record streak will finally end, reviewing a brutal remaining Steelers schedule (Ravens, Dolphins, Lions, Browns, Ravens again) and concluding an 8-9 finish is likely. In Survivor talk, Uncle Dave would use the Eagles over the Chargers despite Philly's recent losses, arguing the Chargers' résumé is weak and Harbaugh may not be the NFL fit people expect. Mack's mapped-out Survivor plan had Tampa Bay beating the Saints this week and still believes the Bucs are the right side with New Orleans showing no incentive to win. Munaf also likes the Bucs and adds the Rams as strong options vs a fading Cardinals team giving up 27+ points in four straight games. They close the episode with gratitude, reflecting on the season, encouraging listener feedback for future shows, and reminding everyone to follow their Survivor coverage and other Pregame podcasts.

This week on Missing the Point, Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly deliver a full, detailed breakdown of the NFL landscape as Week 14 of the 2025 season begins. This is one of the most in-depth power-ranking episodes of the year, packed with analysis of team performance, quarterback play, coaching decisions, playoff odds, and the shifting tiers across the AFC and NFC. Dave and Bobby open with the NFL Coaching Hot Seat Rankings, a list shaped by performance, roster construction, and midseason collapses. Pete Carroll leads the list after another stagnant week from the Raiders. Jonathan Gannon remains under pressure in Arizona. Raheem Morris faces major questions in Atlanta after another disappointing loss. Kevin Stefanski’s offense continues to underperform in Cleveland. Zac Taylor rounds out the five as Cincinnati searches for stability with Burrow returning. They also break down honorable mentions including Mike McDaniel, Mike Tomlin, and Jim Harbaugh and what each needs to do to stay off the list. The show moves into the official MTP Cross-Off List, covering teams already eliminated from serious playoff discussion: Jets, Titans, Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Raiders, Cardinals, Giants, and Commanders. Dave and Bobby explain why each team reached this point, focusing on quarterback regression, defensive breakdowns, coaching issues, and roster health. They follow with possible Week 14 cross-offs such as the Falcons, Vikings, Bengals, Steelers, and Chiefs, with a segment on how late-season collapses start and what trends signal a team is finished. Dave and Bobby then break down the biggest stories of Week 13 and how they reshape the league entering Week 14.

JR on the Clippers releasing Chris Paul in his retirement season. | Deshaun Watson is activated from PUP and Mike Evans is nearing a return. | Big Ben and James Harrison are telling Mike Tomlin to dip from Pittsburgh. |

On this podcast, for years we've discussed issues such as conspiracy theories, mis- and disinformation, polarization, and the ways in which the design and incentives on today's technology platforms exacerbate them. Today's guest is Calum Lister Matheson,  associate professor and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Pittsburgh and a faculty member of the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center. He's the author of Post-Weird: Fragmentation, Community, and the Decline of the Mainstream, a new book from Rutgers University Press that applies a different lens on the question as he searches for insights into the seemingly inexplicable behaviors of communities such as serpent handlers, pro-anorexia groups, believers in pseudoscience, and conspiracy theorists that deny the reality of gun violence in schools.

The Steelers come off an embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills, a game in which they gave up a record 249 yards on the ground in Pittsburgh.  Now, the noise regarding Mike Tomlin's future with the team are at an all time high.  When former Steelers legends James Harrison and Ben Roethlisberger both say they think its time to move on from head man, people start to take notice.  Unfortunately for the Steelers, the next team up on the schedule is an AFC North matchup that takes the team to Baltimore, a team who put up a record 300 yards on the ground in their last meeting.  Join Jeremy Kohlman and Wil Masisak as they break down the team's performance against the Bills, explore what lies ahead — including the pivotal matchup with the Ravens — and take a tour around the NFL, where Week 14 delivers several playoff-caliber showdowns.

7:30am - Jeremy and Joe look at the Bills win over Pittsburgh and where they can go from here.

Tonight on NS9LIVE, we're joined by Pirates beat writer Alex Stumpf to unpack the sudden wave of controversy surrounding Andrew McCutchen's future in Pittsburgh. Stumpf recently shared on Reddit that frustrations on both sides could make a 2026 reunion unlikely — only for Cutch himself to jump in on X and reply, “wow that's news to me.” We'll break down what this all means, whether fans should actually be worried, and how the Pirates might navigate this crossroads with a franchise icon. Plus, we're diving into the trade machine: ESPN's proposed Mitch Keller–for–Bryce Eldridge deal. Is it real? Is it fair? And would the Pirates ever consider moving their Opening Day ace for a top-20 prospect? Insight, reaction, and a little therapy — all happening live.

Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The Steelers and Ravens are a pair of flawed teams. The Ravens are beatable and their defense isn't great. Lamar Jackson is not in a rhythm. There is little buzz around the game.

Penn State thought Kalani Sitake was "a done deal." Cory doesn't think it was a mistake to fire James Franklin, but the mistake was how the search has gone. Could Terry Smith be the coach?

The moves that Mike Tomlin has made with the roster is alarming. The free agent market has been a house of horrors. There is no juice for Steelers-Ravens this week.

Chris Hoke thinks there's a lack of trust between Aaron Rodgers and the wide receivers. Hokie thinks the Ravens are similar to the Steelers with their inconsistency. Hokie thinks the Ravens win and doesn't think the Steelers can stop Derrick Henry.

The Steelers defense gave up 249 yards rushing to the Bills, the most by an opponent in Acrisure Stadium history. The defensive line and linebackers are not staying in their gaps. Hokie doesn't think Patrick Queen is good at getting off blocks.

Tyler Kennedy would not trade Tristan Jarry now. Good goaltending is hard to find and TK isn't sure if Sergei Murashov is 100% ready. Joe would trade Jarry. TK thinks Connor McDavid will 100% win a Stanley Cup.

The Penguins are the most enjoyable team to watch in town. They are in playoff position and things are different with Dan Muse. Communication is better and TK thinks that Muse is easier to talk to. Things have been simplified.

Nick said Bills-Steelers was like Tecmo Bowl, run left and run right. Nick thinks the Ravens are going to win, but thinks the spread is too high. He is a big Aaron Rodgers fan, but Nick thinks Rodgers might be done.

The saying is "go big or go home", but Todd Treaster went small so he could go big in his home. On this episode of Around The Layout, this Pennsylvania native and former railroader tells us how his passion for big railroading, spawned by childhood memories and his time working for Big Blue kept him laser focused and allowed him to build a collection with mind blowing numbers. Todd also tells us about the joy both he and his wife have when they get to share the collection and layout with others.Learn more about this episode on our website:aroundthelayout.com/201Thank you to our episode sponsor, Spring Creek Model Trains:https://www.springcreekmodeltrains.com/Thank you to our episode sponsor, Tully Models:https://tullymodels.comThank you to our episode sponsor, 18Ten Designs:https://www.1810designs.com/
