This week on the debut episode of Buzzin' with Baker, Edmonton Stingers Head Coach and General Manager Jordan Baker takes stock of the season as the club reaches the one-third mark of its schedule. Sitting at 3-5 through eight games, Baker shares his assessment of the team's start, the progress he's seen since training camp and whether the current record truly reflects the group's performance and potential. The conversation also examines a recent setback against the league-leading Scarborough Shooting Stars, with Baker discussing the lessons learned from facing one of the CEBL's top teams and the message he delivered to his players afterward. He also provides insight into one of the unique challenges of coaching in the CEBL: managing constant roster turnover. With Dain Dainja departing to pursue NBA opportunities and captain Nick Hornsby returning to the lineup, Baker explains how teams maintain continuity amid a revolving roster and why Hornsby's leadership remains so valuable to the organization. Plus, Baker breaks down the balanced offensive approach that has become a hallmark of the Stingers, previews a rematch against Montreal at The Hive, and reveals what fans may not see behind the scenes that gives him confidence this team is capable of producing better results as the season moves forward.

Host Brenden Escott dives into the upcoming CEBL season with a wide-ranging conversation with CEBL reporter Joey Slattery, covering the growth of basketball in Canada and what lies ahead for the Edmonton Stingers. The discussion begins with recognition for a major accomplishment, as this year's Fred “Gus” Collins Award winner reflects on what the honour means and the passion that continues to drive his involvement in the game. The conversation also explores the CEBL's growing national profile following the league's new broadcast partnership with CBC, what makes the league such an exciting brand of basketball and why its connection to Canadian communities continues to resonate. From there, the focus shifts to the Edmonton Stingers — evaluating Jordan Baker's offseason moves, how the team plans to replace the offensive production of Sean East II and whether Edmonton has done enough to build on last year's strong regular season after a disappointing play-in exit against Calgary. The episode also touches on the return of the Stingers' neutral-site game in Red Deer after last year's successful event, the significance of Mark Cuban joining the ownership group of the Brampton Honey Badgers and an early look around the league at the teams and storylines to watch entering the new CEBL campaign.

On the evening of the shooting at Bondi, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: “An attack on Jewish Australians is an attack on every Australian” – that was indeed proven when the entire community sprung into action, those who ran towards the disaster, not away from it. There are tales of heroism, like the couple who first tried to stop the gunmen and paid with their lives, the man who single-handedly wrestled the rifle out of the shooter’s hands and those who shielded their loved ones and strangers from bullets.

In this episode, we speak to Antonia Marran. The former TV presenter, parenting author and now lawyer and advocate is tasked with managing the legacy of her late father, Antony Kidman, and his pioneering work in adolescent and youth mental health. It's a role for which the experiences of Antonia’s own life have prepared her well. She comes from a tight-knit family (including her sister, the Hollywood star Nicole Kidman), and has endured both the public heartbreak of her first marriage falling apart then the sudden death of her first husband, not to mention a mid-life love affair, the travails and joys of parenting a blended family of six children, and then finally, a late career switch to the law, where she found a sense of fulfilment that had eluded her so far. Marran talks about all of this and more in a Good Weekend feature story this week – Her Father’s Daughter. Hosting this conversation is the writer of that profile, chief reporter for The Sydney Morning Herald, Jordan Baker. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pope may seem like a distant figure. But the newest one has wasted no time making waves. It’s not just the social media posts riffing on what vibe a Pope who originally hails from the south side of Chicago might bring to the Vatican. Because, even before Pope Leo the 14th slid the Papal ring on his finger on Friday, he launched something of an attack on American vice president JD Vance, angering many within the MAGA movement. And in Australia? Many Catholics have already begun questioning how the Pope’s personal views will impact our churches, and even school curricula. Today, chief reporter Jordan Baker on what we can expect from Pope Leo the 14th.

July 17th - Kevin Kilner, Jordan Baker, Kevin Fedarco
Chapter 1:Summary of Book The Great Gatsby"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a novel set in the summer of 1922 on Long Island and in New York City. The story is narrated by Nick Carraway, a young bond salesman from Minnesota who rents a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, an area populated by the newly rich who lack social connections and sophistication.Nick's neighbor is Jay Gatsby, a mysterious and wealthy man who throws extravagant parties every weekend, hoping to attract specific guests. As Nick becomes more acquainted with Gatsby, he learns that Gatsby was born poor and that his real name is James Gatz. Gatsby had previously been in love with Daisy Buchanan, Nick's cousin, when he was a young military officer. Post-war, Gatsby dedicated himself to gaining wealth and social standing to win Daisy back, believing that he could recreate the past through sheer force of will and wealth.Through his connection to Nick, Gatsby rekindles his romance with Daisy, although she is now married to Tom Buchanan, a man of established wealth and social standing, but also arrogant and unfaithful. The reunion leads to an affair between Gatsby and Daisy, which climaxes in a confrontation between Tom and Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel.The situation becomes tragic when Daisy, driving Gatsby's car, accidentally strikes and kills Tom's mistress, Myrtle Wilson, on their way back from the city. Gatsby decides to take the blame, believing his wealth can shelter him. However, Myrtle's husband, George Wilson, misled by Tom to believe that Gatsby was both his wife's lover and killer, shoots Gatsby dead in his pool before taking his own life.In the wake of the tragedy, Nick is disillusioned with the East Coast's morally corrupt and superficial society. He arranges a poorly-attended funeral for Gatsby, breaks off his relationship with Jordan Baker, a professional golfer and mutual friend, and moves back to the Midwest. The novel concludes with Nick reflecting on the unattainable nature of the American Dream, and how people are relentlessly drawn into a past that is forever out of reach, much like Gatsby with his indomitable hopes and dreams.Chapter 2:The Theme of Book The Great GatsbyCertainly!
