Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Robinson

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey and insider Ray Fittipaldo react to the first full week of Steelers training camp. Why does coach Mike Tomlin seem more upbeat that usual? And what does it signal for his plans as he welcomes new veterans including Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and DK Metcalf to his lineup this coming season? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders some positional flexibility. How much could we see TE Darnell Washington lining up at tackles after he dominated backs-on-backers drills over the weekend? Could he apply pressure to names like Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? And could Mark Robinson make the team at fullback with the linebacker room loaded with talent including Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson and Carson Bruener?

What percentage chance do you give Will Howard to be the Steelers answer? Bob and Austin are below 20%, but Bob has some optimism. We have a punting competition! What's the more likely experiment to work: Mark Robinson at fullback or Darnell Washington at tackle?

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: What's the more likely experiment to work: Mark Robinson at fullback or Darnell Washington at tackle? Bob helped Mark Kaboly get his car out of a divot at St. Vincent and it took over an hour! Arthur Smith said with Jeff Hathhorn that there have been ups and downs, but that the offense has made progress so far.

In this special crossover episode between Fresh Expressions North America and Fresh Expressions UK, hosts Mark and Heather dive into a rich conversation on discipleship. Mark shares his journey into the Fresh Expressions movement, while Heather highlights recent work in the Church of England around the Fruitfulness Framework—a research project exploring the spiritual impact of fresh expressions of church. Together, they reflect on how starting fresh expressions is not only forming new disciples but also renewing discipleship within the inherited church.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Part 1 of Chuck's chat with Brian Wilson's favorite drummer, legendary studio maestro Hal Blaine. It's not hard to understand why Brian worked with him so often: Hal claimed to have participated in over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one. Chuck's interview with Hal took place while the latter was living in a retirement community, and the tone is definitely “no shits given” by this point. Hal passed away a few years later in 2019, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.  Here's just a few of the many things that Hal discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:Hal's “Strangers In The Night” session with Frank Sinatra, and the classic drum beat from which he cribbed;The early days of the session players which Hal liked to call “The Wrecking Crew”;Getting started with Phil Spector, and how Phil liked to work;Meeting Don Randi;The beautiful gesture that Brian Wilson demonstrated to his friend while Hal was in the midst of experiencing the suicidal terror of his divorce.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Nick Herbig, Joey Porter Jr, Mark Robinson, Troy Fautanu listed by Nick Farabaugh as stars of today's practice. Poni mentions that the defense should beat the offense in camp, as it is the highest paid unit in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers said that he's still having fun playing football, and that he likes Latrobe. Mullsy says that Aaron Rodgers has earned a reputation as being “artificial” behind the scenes. Rodgers said that in Green Bay and New York, they didn't tackle in practice. Poni says that you can see how different Rodgers is from Russell Wilson simply through his interview answers.

Poni says that you can see how different Rodgers is from Russell Wilson simply through his interview answers. All Access with Aditi Kinkhabwala. Aditi says that the teams that really want to compete always embrace physicality in camp. Mullsy says Rodgers sounds more authentic when talking about football than Russell Wilson. Aditi says that the defense always prospers in team drills early in camp. She says that this is often because the offense is always trying different stuff early in camp. Dom Debrief. The Steelers give out a packet with the name and face of team media personalities. Do the guys think that they're on the packet? Poni says that one of the guys should ask Pat Freiermuth to take a picture of this packet and send it to them. Mullsy gives Starkey props as a great interviewer. Dom calls himself the funniest guy at the station.

The next entry in the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series makes for a perfect pairing with last week's—it's Chuck's chat with Brian Wilson's early mentor Bill Wagner, The Four Freshmen's manager. This extremely lucid conversation offers a one-after-the-other cavalcade of precious insights, from the first visit to Bill's office by a green-behind-the-ears Brian in 1958 to the ineffable sadness of later years. Bill passed away back in 2011 (only three months before Ross left us), which makes this posthumously released interview another priceless buried treasure.  Here's just a few of the many things that Bill discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:A description of Brian's initial 1958 office visit, and how he decided to go about impressing the manager;Candid impressions of Murry Wilson, including an embarrassing tale about Murry's hijacked Capitol building tour;Fascinating insights into Brian's initial home recording dalliances;A recounting of a truly scary conversation he shared with Brian in 1966 about his experiments with LSD;And the truly upsetting final conversation the two men shared.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Who better to tackle Discograffiti's epic, multi-episode Deep-Dive into The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds—my second favorite album of all time behind only Smile—than the scholarly yet super-cool Petsoundsologist Chuck Granata, whose book Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is the ultimate piece of work on the LP?  Chuck and I dived so deep we actually had to seek treatment for the bends, but as you'll hear it was worth every second.  Episode 1 is the story of the record from soup to nuts, without an examination of its specific songs…which is coming in episodes 2 through 6.Here's just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How an unassuming advertising jingle writer named Tony Asher somehow wound up collaborating with the greatest American songwriter on the planet on what many now consider to be the greatest LP of all time;Brian's drug experimentation back in 1966, which he used to jog his creative process;The daily collaborative routine that Brian and Tony enjoyed;Whether or not Pet Sounds was intended by Brian to be an honest-to-goodness concept album (Director's Cut only);An examination of the initial rumblings of group infighting that later proved to be fundamental in toppling the band;The Beach Boys' process of learning vocals literally directly before singing them;And the long game of the record's success, which began with a comparative tanking.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Beach Boys superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 20 additional minutes of essential material. Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: ⁠Patreon.com/Discograffiti⁠Or just purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at the same link.CONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

We kick off the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series at the very beginning…it's Chuck's conversation with one of Brian Wilson's most towering influences, Ross Barbour of The Four Freshmen!  His father Murry took Brian to see the legendary harmony group when he was 14, and he got the opportunity to meet them. The concert and that meeting had a profound effect on young Brian, who said, “My voice was shivering as I was talking to them…I was so in awe of them. It was one of the biggest moments in my life. [Their song] ‘It's a Blue World' made me cry. I learned to make four-part harmonies from the Four Freshmen.” Russ passed away back in 2011, which makes this posthumously released interview a particularly priceless buried treasure.  Here's just a few of the many things that Ross discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The genetic uniquenesses that combine to make family harmony an inimitable feat;Ross's fantasy of developing a barbershop harmony supercomputer;How Brian Wilson built upon The Four Freshmen sound for The Beach Boys;How the group achieved the sparkling sound of their Capitol recordings;From where Ross feels the melancholy in Brian's music originated;And what it felt like to ultimately be passed over in favor of groups like The Beach Boys who wouldn't even exist without The Four Freshmen.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

In Part 2 of my amazing discussion with two-thirds of The Honeys, Marilyn, Ginger, and I work our way through some wildly emotional terrain, including what it was like to share lives with a creative genius while he was operating at his peak.Here's just a few of the many things that Marilyn & Ginger discuss with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Marilyn felt about Brian's Smile-era decor in their Laurel Way home;Their thoughts on the Smile-era music, not to mention their ever-evolving lifestyle;What it was like being produced by Murry;The story behind American Spring, and the wonderful music that act produced;The Honeys' two latter-day LPs;Their late-1960s singles, and the slew of wonderful guest appearances on other artists' records (Director's Cut only);And how the ladies feel about Pet Sounds lyric collaborator Tony Asher.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Beach Boys superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 20 additional minutes of essential material. Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: ⁠⁠Patreon.com/Discograffiti⁠⁠Or just purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at ⁠Patreon.com/Discograffiti⁠CONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to ponder which returning players are under the most pressure when training camp begins next week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They start with the offense. Is Broderick Jones under real pressure right now? Or does the lack of competition at tackle give him a longer runway to prove himself? How will Jaylen Warren cope with names including Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Trey Sermon jockeying for carries in the backfield? Does Roman Wilson need to show he can be a contributor in the receiving corps next to DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III? And are Cordarrelle Patterson and Connor Heyward fighting for their jobs? On defense, Is Beanie Bishop in trouble following the move for Jalen Ramsey? Have DeMarvin Leal and Isaiahh Loudermilk run out of time to prove they deserve rotational spots on the defensive line? Are Cole Holcomb and Mark Robinson fighting for one roster spot? And do Patrick Queen and Keeanu Benton need to do more to live up to lofty expectations? Our duo tackles those questions, plus the challenges facing coach Mike Tomlin and coordinators Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Can NC Sen. Phil Berger's primary challenger be more than just anti-Berger? Andrew Dunn, publisher of Longleaf Politics and a contributing columnist to The Charlotte Observer, joins me to discuss Sam Page's candidacy. We also hit on Sen. Thom Tillis' appearance on CNN and former Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson dipping his toes back into politics.

Recorded only two days before the great man's passing, this audiobook-style episode is a Brian Wilson diary that covers the 27 sessions it took to accomplish one of his great works, a span of six months that kicks off at the moment in December 1965 when he first heard The Beatles' Rubber Soul and vowed to make the greatest rock record of all time, to Pet Sounds' release in May 1966. I'm joined by the world's foremost Petsoundsologist Chuck Granata, author of the incredible book Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. This episode features a critical cameo by the great Fred Vail.Here's just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The Pickwick Bookstore acid flashback that inadvertently provided the initial inspiration for Pet Sounds;The unlikely figure who first introduced Van Dyke Parks to Brian Wilson;The only song on the record that features The Beach Boys playing instruments;The record company's real motivation for releasing “Sloop John B” as a single;How Brian countered record company disinterest in a classic meeting held at Capital HQ;The importance of Bruce Johnston's UK Pet Sounds unveiling;And a beautiful cameo by Fred Vail describing the atmosphere at the mastering session, which was only attended by Fred and Brian's wife Marilyn.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Here's just a few of the many things that Marilyn & Ginger discuss with Discograffiti in this podcast:What the group was like before they bumped into Brian Wilson;The amazing way station for rock and roll talent that was the Rovell household, and the ways in which Brian fundamentally changed the family for the better;How Marilyn feels about Mike Love's current touring version of The Beach Boys;An in-depth discussion of their first few classic 45s;And a talk about how much of an inspiration Marilyn was in Brian's music and lyrics.Recorded just after granddaughter Lola Bonfiglio made it onto American Idol, but before Brian's recent passing, this delightful yet intensive 4-hour interview with two-thirds of The Beach Boys' Sister Group—cousins Ginger and Marilyn—covers all the projects both under Marilyn's former husband Brian Wilson's guiding hand and the records made of their own volition.  If you mistakenly thought they were just a female knock-off act, then prepare yourself for a glorious education.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Beach Boys superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 21 additional minutes of essential material. Purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at ⁠Patreon.com/Discograffiti⁠.Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: ⁠Patreon.com/Discograffiti⁠CONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

We begin with well-loved pastry seller Greggs (GRG), which suffered a downturn in sales per its latest trading update. Julian Hofmann explains the reasons for this, from heatwaves to competition from supermarkets, and what investors should make of it.It's then on to our Big Read on undervalued UK tech stars. Many of our home-grown companies have a lot to offer, but investors favour the US big names instead. Valeria Martinez and Mark Robinson look at the causes behind this, the “mindset gap”, and overlooked intellectual property.Lastly, Julian Hofmann rejoins to unpack Watches of Switzerland (WOSG), which has taken a hit to margins thanks to tariffs. The retailer's sales growth is ticking up, but the market still seems spooked. Mark and Julian discuss what issues are keeping investors cautious.Timestamps 2:46 Greggs9:25 Undervalued UK tech15:54 Watches of SwitzerlandRead more on these topics: Star British tech stocks hiding in plain sightWatches of Switzerland boosted by luxury jewellery but margin outlook disappointsListen to more podcasts from Investors' Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTube Hosted on Acast.

Grape Expectations' Episode 8 is the true turning point of the series, a breathless conversation with Moby Grape guitarist/songwriter Peter Lewis which goes to great lengths to illustrate the point a man must reach where it becomes preferable to move furniture for his grandma as a side hustle in lieu of recording a single additional note with his musical soulmates.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Welcome to Part 3, and the final installment of my conversation with Don Stevenson, in which we cover the expansive era of 1969 to the present. Don says this will be the very last time he'll be talking about his time in Moby Grape, so you absolutely will not want to miss this. Here's just a few of the many things that Don discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Skip Spence's Oar really got made, not the mythological pajama-wearing motorcycle ride to Nashville that's been bandied about for years;The difficulty of Bob Mosley's breakdown occurring in the much larger shadow of Skip's concurrent mental problems;The reasons why their final album, 2010's The Real Potato, was shelved (Director's Cut only);How their disastrous 1971 gig at The Fillmore East really went down;The unimaginable horrors that occurred during the making of 20 Granite Creek;And a track-by-track deep-dive on Truly Fine Citizen, 20 Granite Creek, Live Grape, Legendary Grape, and several other records Moby Grape made during this period!Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Moby Grape & Skip Spence superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 27 additional minutes of essential material. Purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at Patreon.com/Discograffiti.Purchase the full Grape Expectations Collection: www.patreon.com/collection/1467935Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: Patreon.com/DiscograffitiOrder Cam Cobb's Skip Spence bio: https://a.co/d/iuSyBGcCONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson believes he's leaving the game in a better place than he found it. He's confirmed he will leave the job at the end of the year, bringing to an end a six-year tenure that started just before the Covid-19 pandemic. Robinson says he's proud of what's been achieved during a turbulent period. He told Mike Hosking that the next six months are critical for their role both domestically and internationally, with both their involvement in the establishment of international calendars and competitions as well as the opportunity they have to reset the financial model for the New Zealand game. Robinson likes to think those would both be signed off by the end of the year, and that in conjunction with his family moving over to Australia, makes him feel it's time to move on. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Robinson's underlined dealing with Covid-19 as the biggest challenge of his tenure as New Zealand Rugby chief executive. Robinson will stand down at the end of the year, to move to Australia with family. He was only three weeks into the job in 2020 when the pandemic hit - shutting down the game. Newstalk ZB rugby commentator Elliott Smith says this is the right move. "There's clearly a movement for change in New Zealand Rugby, Mark Robinson's got some family in Australia - so I think, ultimately, it's probably a good time for everyone to clear the decks."

Anyone who thinks that Mark Robinson resigning from New Zealand Rugby today is a shock clearly doesn't follow rugby's dramas with their brain fully turned on. This was not a shock at all. Anyone could see this coming. This was coming the minute that David Kirk took over as the chair. Now, I don't want to be seen to be saying that David Kirk forced him out. It is, in fact, quite possible that Mark Robinson just read the room and left of his own accord first - but it was always going to happen, wasn't it? Because David Kirk is the new broom, and the new broom generally gets rid of things that aren't working. And unfortunately for Mark Robinson, that wasn't working. Now, I've got no hard feelings towards the guy. He seemed like a really easy bloke, but he has not had the most glorious 10 years, has he? When he brought in the Silver Lake deal, which has yet to bear any fruit despite all of the drama it caused - and boy, did it cause drama. He totally stuffed up the Fozzy situation when he tried to fire Fozzy and then didn't fire Fozzy, and then eventually did manage to get rid of Fozzy - but by then, we all felt really bad for Fozzy. And he persisted with the Super Rugby competition that isn't working. All he's really managed to do with it is tinker, and it still isn't really working. The finances are terrible. The game has maybe managed to arrest the decline, but nothing much else - and the rugby community is bruised after that Silver Lake altercation. If there is a lesson here, I reckon it may be that New Zealand rugby might want to replace Mark Robinson with someone who isn't a rugby man, or a rugby woman, whatever. Someone who isn't sentimental about the game, who can look at all of this business with fresh eyes and say: why is that happening? That shouldn't necessarily be happening - and have the courage to change it, because they don't actually care about rugby that much. Someone who can drive the change that rugby needs, because if there's one thing we all agree on, it's that rugby needs change. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand Rugby has signed a sponsorship agreement with Gallagher Insurance. NZ Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson spoke to Corin Dann.

New Zealand Rugby have secured a new sponsor. They've partnered with American company Gallagher Insurance, who's logo will appear on both the training and match day shorts of all our national teams. It comes two months after Ineos terminated their $21 million a year contract with the union. NZR CEO Mark Robinson told Mike Hosking Gallagher's got a deep connection with the sport, having been involved with World Rugby and the English Premiership, as well as already being involved in NZ rugby at the provincial level. He says they're connected to the values and ethos of the game, and they obviously feel that there's a strong opportunity for branding, as well as business opportunities.

Episode 3 of our Grape Expectations Series features two—count ‘em, TWO SEPARATE INTERVIEWS with drummer Don Stevenson and guitarist Peter Lewis, each of whom gives their own Rashomon-like perspective on the fascinating early part of Moby Grape's career. Disastrous tours, lawsuits, police busts, horribly nefarious managers, a fake touring version of the band, mysterious black magic witches, and drug-induced madness.  And, no joke—that's just within the band's first two years. The first episode of my conversations with both Don & Peter features both men discussing their first two records, the self-titled debut and Wow, right up to when Skip had his breakdown.Here's just a few of the many things that Don & Peter both separately discuss with Discograffiti in Part 1 of our conversation:How the band initially coalesced;The early days finding their sound at The Ark;How the major label feeding frenzy over the band wound up impacting them;Don's infamous front cover middle finger;An in-depth discussion of their legendary self-titled debut;The steep downhill slide that began literally on the night of their launch party;And the time Skip broke down crying in the studio when the reaction to his new song wasn't as he'd expected.Then, for good measure, Peter drops a bomb at the end of the whole thing.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Moby Grape & Skip Spence superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features A WHOPPING 52 ADDITIONAL MINUTES of essential material. Purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at Patreon.com/Discograffiti.Purchase the full Grape Expectations Collection: https://www.patreon.com/collection/1467935Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: Patreon.com/DiscograffitiCONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.
