America's Work Force Union Podcast brings together two conversations that capture the labor movement's momentum heading into a consequential fall election season. First, Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga joins fresh from the AFL-CIO's 30th Constitutional Convention in Minneapolis, where delegates voted to set a new organizing target of 2 million new union members by 2032 after surpassing the previous goal of 1 million. Burga reports on a broad wave of organizing activity across Ohio spanning healthcare, construction, higher education, hospitality, libraries, museums and the arts, with recent wins including workers at Jeni's Ice Cream, United Academics of Ohio University and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. He also addresses the ongoing challenge of securing first contracts after organizing wins and what Ohio workers should watch for when the General Assembly returns from summer recess and the lame duck session begins after November's elections. Then, CWA District 4 Administrative Director Frank Mathews discusses a ratified four-year contract for approximately 300 DirecTV customer service workers across Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Minnesota and Colorado, delivering compounded wage increases of 13.4% and preserving health care after workers voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike in April. Mathews addresses the growing difficulty of protecting health care at the bargaining table, describes a roughly tenfold increase in CWA organizing activity since COVID and details the CWA's new Fighting Oligarchy political education training rolling out across Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan ahead of November's elections. Visit ohioaflcio.org for Ohio AFL-CIO updates and cwa-union.org for more from CWA District 4.

In The Struggle Is Real, we dive into Galatians 5:16–25 and confront the daily battle every Christian faces between the desires of the flesh and the leading of the Holy Spirit. While the conflict is real, Paul reminds us that we don't have to be controlled by our old nature. Through Christ, we've been given the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live differently and walk in victory.This message explores the two sides of that spiritual conflict: the destructive works of the flesh and the life-giving fruit of the Spirit. As believers, our lives will always reveal which direction we're walking. Rather than living for ourselves, we're called to cultivate lives marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control as evidence of God's transforming work within us.The challenge is clear: crucify the flesh, keep in step with the Spirit, and stop settling for excuses that keep you from growing closer to Christ. Victory isn't found by trying harder—it's found by walking daily with the One who has already won the battle.

The "Book of Missionary Heroes" by Basil Joseph Mathews chronicles the inspiring journeys of men and women who dedicated their lives to spreading the light of Jesus Christ across the globe, often in the face of extreme adversity. These heroes faced cannibals, battled slave traders, and cared for their enemies, driven by an unwavering commitment to their mission of service and compassion. Their stories resonate today, reminding us of the enduring power of faith and the courage it takes to bring hope to the darkest corners of the world. This collection not only honors their sacrifices but also serves as a timeless testament to the transformative impact of selfless devotion and love in action.

What happens in that handoff is where a designer actually earns her keep, and it's usually invisible to everyone but her. This episode makes it visible.Subscribe to see and hear the full portfolio review: the sunroom nobody used until Debbie figured out why, the custom-built solution to a very specific bedside problem, and the trick she uses to bring a two-story room down to human scale.

Welcome to another action packed episode of Big Orange Sunday Coach dives deep into the state of Tennessee Volunteers athletics as the fall camp approaches. The show opens by celebrating the upcoming induction of five Vol legends—including Monica Abbott, Reggie Cobb, and Jason Whitten—into the Hall of Fame. The discussion then shifts to the business of collegiate sports, highlighting Tennessee’s lucrative new 10-year apparel partnership with Adidas. Mathews explains how this multi-million dollar contract prioritizes the university as a top-tier partner, offering significant financial and branding advantages over their previous legacy deal with Nike. The core of the episode provides a comprehensive breakdown of the football team's roster construction, contrasting the differing philosophies of the offensive and defensive coaching staffs. Mathews details the defense's aggressive offseason overhaul, which includes a revamped coaching staff and the strategic acquisition of 12 experienced transfer portal players to immediately shore up the secondary. Conversely, he highlights how the offense is relying on coaching continuity and targeted, rotational portal additions to maintain their rhythm. Finally, special guest Jimmy Hyams joins the program from Knoxville to analyze the team's highly favorable 2026 schedule, evaluating key home-field advantages against incoming SEC heavyweights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Blake Mathews shares his story of addiction, adoption, and finding faith through music. Adopted at birth and raised in a Jewish household in Phoenix, Blake started DJing weddings and bar mitzvahs at 13 and built a career in music and nightlife while quietly hiding a worsening addiction for over a decade. By the time he moved to Nashville in 2014 to chase a career in the arts, he was a high functioning alcoholic leaning on psychedelics, convinced they made him a better artist, while the people closest to him had no idea how bad it had gotten.Blake opens up about hitting bottom in Nashville, calling his dad for help, and getting into treatment within 48 hours, only to relapse after walking away from music entirely and moving back to Phoenix. He found lasting sobriety on a sober hike up a mountain he stumbled onto by chance, and he's been sober since. Today, Blake is the founder of Sober House Records and co-founder of Formerly Intoxicated, a nonprofit bringing music and healing arts into treatment centers and prisons. He shares how a chance encounter with two strangers praying in a coffee shop changed everything, and how he turned his pain into a mission: redemption is real, prevention is possible, and recovery is for everyone. #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Ask Us A Question!Recorded on the banks of O'Dell Creek just outside of Yellowstone Country, this episode of Waypoints is unlike any we've ever done. Host Jim Klug sits down outdoors with two of the most important and influential figures in the history of modern flyfishing: legendary writer, editor, and publisher Nick Lyons and renowned Yellowstone guide, author, and conservationist Craig Mathews. Against the backdrop of one of Montana's most iconic spring creeks, the conversation explores the roots of flyfishing storytelling, the evolution of the writing in the world of flyfishing, and the friendships and connections that helped shape an entire generation of anglers.  More than just a podcast interview, this episode feels like a rare and intimate conversation between two men whose lives have become deeply woven into the fabric of flyfishing history. From the early days of outdoor writing and the founding of Lyons Press, to discussions about great flyfishing writers, the changing landscape of media, and the meaning of the sport itself, Nick and Craig share stories, wisdom, and perspective that only come from a lifetime spent on the water. Honest and deeply nostalgic at times, this is a special episode for anyone who cares about flyfishing —not just as a sport, but as a culture, a tradition, and a way of life. Waypoints is brought to you by PatagoniaTo bring their gear to life, Patagonia is motivated by relentless curiosity and a passion for the wild. They evaluate hundreds of materials, build dozens of prototypes and spend seasons punishing them in the world's most extreme conditions.

This conversation is practical, grounded, and especially helpful for designers who love the idea of antiques but are unsure how to use them confidently or profitably.WHAT WE COVER:Why antiques are relevant again in interior designDebbie explains how clients are looking for homes that feel personal, collected, sustainable, and connected to the past. Antiques offer warmth, story, and a sense of permanence that newer pieces often cannot replicate.How an antique showroom can support a design businessDebbie breaks down how her antique showroom and interior design studio operate as separate businesses, even though they support each other.

What does one do after unimaginable heartbreak? On this episode of A Widow's Heart, Pam Lundell talks with Shawn Mathews, a woman whose story has touched hearts across Minnesota and far beyond. Shawn Mathews lost her beloved husband, Wayzata police officer Bill Mathews, in the line of duty following a tragic crash in 2017. This conversation isn't just about lost, it's about love, faith, family, resilience, and the legacy one life can leave behind.

It's easy to conjure images of the high Gilded Age when seeing the great mansions of Newport or elsewhere, but the origins of that grand, flamboyant style began elsewhere.   The idea of a modern French-inspired mansion with Renaissance influences was new when LeGrand Lockwood commissioned his estate in Norwalk, Connecticut, in the mid-1860s. For a time, it was the grandest home in America, exceeding even the opulence and elegance of the White House. Architects and designers who would later put their stamp on the palaces of the Gilded Age, such as the Herter Brothers, Leon Marcotte, and George Platt, all contributed to the creation of Lockwood's own vision.  Passing to the Mathew family upon Lockwood's untimely death, it remained a private home until the 1930s. Today, it has been painstakingly restored as a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark. Astonishingly, the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion contains much of its original furniture and details, so visitors today can really imagine a lifestyle and style that truly launched the Gilded Age.  Join The Gilded Gentleman for this very special on-location episode recorded at the Mansion with a walkthrough by decorative arts historian Ulysses Dietz and a talk with Executive Director Dr. Susan Gilgore.

This week, I'm joined by Kira Matthews - coach, speaker, and the creator of Pitch School. She helps people unlock their most confident selves so they can go after the dreams they once thought were impossible.We dig into the inner critic and how it shows up to keep us small, why asking for what we want is so often harder than it should be, and how reframing rejection can completely shift the way we move through life. This conversation is a reminder that audacity doesn't have to be loud or extreme, sometimes it can be found in doing the little things that we've been putting off❣️Mentioned in the episode:Follow Kira on InstagramKira's websiteAdditional resources:FREE Resource: Breathwork BasicsSign up for Private Coaching & Breathwork PackageGet the Relationship Anxiety Toolkit hereVisit my websiteConnect with me on Instagram

AT&T Mobility wireless workers just ratified a strong new contract covering 9,000 people across 36 states — and a 95% strike authorization vote is a big reason why the bargaining committee had the leverage it needed. On this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, CWA District 4 Administrative Director Frank Mathews discusses the contract win, the CWA Worker Power Agenda built directly from responses by more than 9,000 union members and the legislative conference that sent thousands of CWA members to Capitol Hill with 17 bills and the knowledge to discuss every one of them. He also previews the double overtime legislation unveiled at the conference by Congressman Greg Casar and explains why the No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act and the Raise the Wage Act are long overdue. Read the full Worker Power Agenda at cwa-union.org.

This Day in Legal History: Kennedy Signs the Equal Pay ActOn this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act, the first federal statute aimed directly at sex-based wage discrimination. The law took the form of an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, which meant that it slid into an existing enforcement framework run by the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor — a deliberate choice that bypassed the need to build new institutional machinery and harnessed thirty years of FLSA caselaw and habits of compliance. The legal hook is the Act's “equal pay for equal work” command: employers may not pay employees of one sex less than employees of the opposite sex for jobs requiring “equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions.”Four affirmative defenses are written into the text — a seniority system, a merit system, a system measuring earnings by quantity or quality of production, or “any other factor other than sex” — and that fourth catch-all has done more work in litigation than the other three combined, shaping how courts evaluate market-based, education-based, and prior-salary-based pay differentials decades later. The wage gap at the moment Kennedy signed was about 59 cents on the dollar; six decades on, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics's standard measure, it sits closer to 84 cents. That tells you something about how a clean, structurally well-designed statute can still leave a lot of the work undone, because the gap is and always was about more than identical pairs of jobs at the same employer.The Equal Pay Act is not the whole story of American workplace-equality law; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and a long line of state-law analogues do much of the modern enforcement work. But June 10, 1963 is the day Congress, with the President's signature, said for the first time that paying a woman less than a man for the same work was unlawful, full stop. Everything that has followed in this corner of the law has been built on top of that sentence.The Federal Circuit on Monday affirmed a Delaware district court judgment invalidating four Purdue Pharma patents covering an abuse-deterrent, low-toxicity version of the opioid OxyContin, in a decision the patent bar has been waiting on for months. The case is Purdue Pharma L.P. v. Epic Pharma LLC. The patents covered Purdue's reformulation of OxyContin to make the pills crush-resistant and to reduce a manufacturing impurity, and the asserted innovation grew, the company said, out of its discovery of the source of a particular toxic impurity that had previously eluded chemists at competing labs. Purdue's argument on appeal was, in essence, that the discovery of the impurity's source was itself nonobvious, and that the resulting patents inherited that nonobviousness. The Federal Circuit said no.The panel held that the relevant obviousness inquiry asks whether the claimed reformulation — not the discovery that motivated it — would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the invention, and that once the prior art is taken into account, the answer is yes. The practical consequence of the ruling is large. It opens the door wider for generic abuse-deterrent OxyContin alternatives and clarifies a doctrinal point pharmaceutical companies have been pressing on for years: a hard-won research insight does not, on its own, automatically save a patent from obviousness if the resulting product was within the prior art's reach. Purdue's options now are a rehearing petition at the Federal Circuit, a cert petition at the Supreme Court (which the company has already pursued in a related case last spring), or quiet acceptance. Expect a cert petition. Expect the cert petition to be denied. Watch the generic-drug filings that follow.Fed. Circ. Panel Backs Invalidation Of OxyContin PatentThe plaintiffs in the Eastern District of Virginia lawsuit over the Trump administration's $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” — a story we covered earlier htis week— went back to Judge Leonie Brinkema on Tuesday and asked for permission to conduct limited discovery into whether the Justice Department's recent representation that it would stop work on the fund is a real commitment or a litigation convenience.The plaintiffs' problem is straightforward: acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has filed papers saying the program is “not going forward,” but President Trump publicly described the fund last week as a “great idea” that many Republicans support, and the executive order that created the fund has not been formally rescinded. From a litigation-strategy standpoint, the plaintiffs do not want to walk away from a live case on the strength of a DOJ filing, accept dismissal as moot, and then find out three months later that the fund has been quietly resurrected under a different name.Judge Brinkema has a hearing scheduled for Friday, June 12, on whether to extend the temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction. The Tuesday filing teed up the broader mootness fight that will dominate Friday's hearing: when does a federal agency's promise to stop doing something actually deprive a court of jurisdiction to enjoin the underlying program, and what discovery, if any, is a plaintiff entitled to before that determination is made. The doctrine here — voluntary cessation, capable of repetition yet evading review, and the heavy burden the Supreme Court has placed on the party claiming mootness — favors the plaintiffs procedurally. Whether Brinkema agrees on Friday is the question to watch.‘Anti-weaponization' fund challengers question its demise – Roll CallSCOTUSblog's John Elwood walked through a useful relist roundup on Tuesday, and the four cases sitting in the relist pile are worth flagging because each of them touches a different load-bearing wall in federal practice. The first is a prolonged-detention challenge to immigration custody under Section 1226(c). The ACLU is asking the Court to clarify that very long mandatory-detention periods trigger procedural due process review under the Mathews v. Eldridge balancing test, picking up on the Second Circuit's willingness to do so. The second is Newberry v. Texas, a case where Texas itself has confessed error — a rare procedural posture in which the State agrees the defendant should win — and the question is what the Court does when the parties on both sides ask for the same remedy. The third is Kian v. Florida, a Sixth Amendment challenge to the use of six-person juries in serious felony cases, on the theory that the historical understanding of “jury” in the founding era assumed twelve and that the Court's mid-twentieth-century cases approving six-person juries were wrong on the originalist analysis. The fourth is Maxwell v. Thomas, a federal habeas case asking whether the First Step Act‘s halfway-house and home-confinement provisions are properly enforceable through 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petitions, an issue with a real circuit split. None of these have been granted yet — they are relists, which means at least one Justice is interested but the Court has not yet decided whether to hear them — but the mix is the part to watch: it tells you what the Justices are circling without committing to. Expect at least one of these to be granted before the term ends.A random assortment of relists: prolonged detention, confessions of error, small juries, and new rules on habeas | SCOTUSblog This is a public episode.

This episode of Big Orange Sunday, hosted by former Tennessee defensive coordinator Doug Mathews, kicks off with a focused look at the immediate priorities for the Tennessee Volunteers football program. Mathews highlights the conclusion of the players' brief time off and the crucial start of summer school and workouts, emphasizing how these summer academic hours are a vital component for redshirts and early enrollees aiming to graduate early. The opening segment also addresses recent roster movements—including the dismissal of a recent transfer portal acquisition and the arrival of fresh talent—alongside the demanding June schedule packed with recruiting camps and official visits. The conversation broadens significantly when guest Jimmy Hyams joins the broadcast to unpack the major talking points from the recent SEC Spring Meetings. The duo tackles the complex and rapidly shifting future of college athletics, heavily focusing on the potential for the SEC and Big Ten to establish self-governance and effectively operate outside of the NCAA's traditional structure. They discuss the legislative hurdles surrounding this potential breakaway, specifically mentioning congressional efforts to establish national guardrails for Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) regulations, as well as the financial implications of revenue sharing and playoff expansion. Shifting back to the diamond, the broadcast provides a mixed update on Tennessee's spring sports, noting the baseball team's early exit from the regionals while celebrating the softball team's ongoing championship pursuit in the College World Series in Oklahoma City. The episode rounds out with a reflective look at the modern history of Tennessee football, contrasting the remarkable 32-year stability of the John Majors and Phillip Fulmer eras with the chaotic coaching carousel that plagued the program in the subsequent decades. Through this historical lens, Mathews and Hyams underscore the significance of the program having finally fought its way back to national relevance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am My Students by Mr. Mathews by 826 Valencia

Today's guest is Wes Mathews — a Louisiana native, former Army cavalry scout, Iraq veteran, former CrossFit coach, and now a veteran at DMR Drones, a company that's quietly becoming one of the leading drone manufacturing companies in America. Wes grew up in central Louisiana, surrounded by a multi-generational military family — his grandfather served Korea, stepfather in the National Guard, younger brother served in Iraq with Wes and would later become a Blackhawk pilot, and the list goes on. According to Wes, joining the Army wasn't a decision so much as a foregone conclusion. What wasn't planned was everything that came after: the years of mental health struggles between combat deployments, the near-miss in his personal life that only family and friends pulled him back from, and eventually, the unlikely path that led him to DMR Drones — an American-owned company building ag and defense drones out of Lafayette, Louisiana. Wes said it best, "[DMR] is more interested in what my skill sets can do for them rather than changing me to fit the company's needs." In this episode, I want you to listen for a few key threads: first — what it actually looked like to come home from a National Guard deployment without the structure of a base to return to, and why this gap costs veterans more than most people realize; second — how Wes clawed his way back from these dark moments, and what made the ultimate the difference; and finally — how American-made ag drones are challenging the way sugarcane and row crops get treated, monitored, and managed, and why veterans are uniquely positioned to sit at that intersection of defense and agriculture. This one covers a ton of ground — combat, mental health, and flying precision ag. Enjoy!

With almost all the campaigns built around generic national talking points and anti-Trump messaging, Mathews explores the growing nationalization of state politics, the issues candidates avoid, and why the actual mechanics of governing California barely seem to be part of the conversation.

Welcome to another episode of High School Sports Saturday with Tate Mathews! Today’s show delivers a comprehensive look across Middle Tennessee as regional play winds down and teams punch their tickets to the state tournament. Tate kicks things off with Cascade Champions baseball coach Travis Sheffield, celebrating their dramatic, grueling 11-inning victory over Huntingdon. Coach Sheffield breaks down his pitching staff’s historic showing, anchored by ace Jaden Hathcock's brilliant 8-inning no-hitter, and discusses managing graduation schedules alongside player injuries ahead of their high-stakes run in Murfreesboro. Next, Franklin Admirals soccer coach Mike Burgoyne drops by to talk about their balanced squad's upcoming sectional showdown against the physical Beach Buccaneers. With his team riding high on regional clean sheets, Coach Burgoyne highlights stellar performances from goalkeeper Sawyer Skelton, breaks down the squad's early morning curfew plans, and reflects on his emotional decision to step down from his legendary coaching tenure at the end of this season. Finally, Tate is joined by local sports expert Tom Kreager for a rapid-fire rundown of the inaugural Class AA Girls' Flag Football and Lacrosse State Championships. Tom recaps Mount Juliet and Ravenwood's unforgettable flag football battle, praises Nolensville and Page's stellar runs on the lacrosse field, and looks ahead to a jam-packed schedule of sectional baseball and softball action.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In This Episode Processes are only as strong as the people executing them—and Dean Mathews believes great systems should make life easier for both employers and employees. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Dean Mathews, Founder and CEO of OnTheClock, about the relationship between systems, employee experience, and company culture. Dean shares how he started OnTheClock over two decades ago after noticing that business owners were struggling to find a simple, reliable way to track employee time and schedules. Adi and Dean explore one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face: managing people effectively while maintaining operational consistency. Dean explains how many businesses still rely on manual systems, spreadsheets, or verbal communication, which often leads to errors, confusion, and employee frustration. By implementing transparent systems, businesses can improve accuracy, accountability, and trust across the organization. The conversation also highlights the importance of culture and retention. Dean shares how intentionally building a people-first workplace helped him scale beyond being a solo entrepreneur into leading a growing team. Through values-based hiring, clear processes, and strong leadership, he has created an environment where employees feel supported and empowered to succeed. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that systems do more than improve efficiency—they create stability, clarity, and a better overall employee experience.  

From the legislative battles of the Midwest to historic street mobilizations in Southern California, the labor movement is currently the front line of defense for the American working class. Today, we look at how union leaders are responding to fiscal threats and federal pressure. Segment 1: The $21 Billion Threat in Ohio We're joined by Frank Mathews, Administrative Director of CWA District 4, to discuss the fallout of the Ohio and Indiana primaries. While labor-backed candidates like Ironworker Brian Poindexter are securing major wins, a new threat is looming: a movement to repeal Ohio's property tax. Mathews breaks down why this proposal is a "trap" that would blow a $21 billion hole in public services, devastating schools, roads, and fire departments. Segment 2: Solidarity Under Fire in Los Angeles Yvonne Wheeler, President of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, joins us to discuss a city pushed to the brink. Following the January 2025 wildfires and large-scale immigration enforcement operations, Wheeler explains how the LA Fed organized the largest nonviolent direct action training in U.S. history. We discuss the creation of the Peacekeepers, the May Day 2026 mobilization, and why the labor movement is the only force capable of holding the line during a crisis.

Taelyn Mathews is a school-based therapist with Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center. She's based in Iola Middle and High Schools and has a master's degree insocial work. As the school year ends, it's a good time to check in with Mathews about what she's experienced this school year—her first in USD 257. What are students struggling with? How does she help? It's clear Mathews is a therapist who deeply cares about the kids she works with, someone whose passion is with helping kids, as she says, deal with the messiness of life. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an appropriate time to focus on mental health by speaking with people like Mathews. Here's our conversation. Hope you enjoy it.

Coach Mathews analyzes the modern landscape of college football recruitment, comparing the process to a family budget where Coach Josh Heupel must prioritize high-value positions like the "trigger man" at quarterback. With an estimated personnel budget of $40 million—funded by revenue sharing, third-party deals, and NIL—the program faces high costs, such as $5 million to $6 million for elite transfer quarterbacks versus approximately $1 million for top high school recruits. Following an NFL-style spending model, Mathews identifies offensive tackles and wide receivers as primary offensive priorities, while defensive spending should focus on edge rushers, cornerbacks to counter spread offenses, and versatile linebackers. He emphasizes that Tennessee’s championship success relies on a "three pillars" regional strategy, requiring the coaching staff to saturate and dominate talent in Tennessee, Georgia (specifically Atlanta), and Western North Carolina, noting that 30 key players on the 2026 roster hail from these areas. Ultimately, Mathews expresses strong confidence in Heupel’s leadership, citing his 45-20 record and elite quarterback development as evidence of a program that has significantly improved in athleticism and defensive coaching compared to the combined 73-75 record of his four predecessors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doug Mathews discussing the multifaceted "art of recruiting" in the modern college football landscape. Mathews highlights that recruiting is the lifeblood of any program, but notes how significantly the process has evolved due to the transfer portal, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collectives, and advanced scouting technologies like Hudl. He explains the strategic "roster management" phase currently underway at the University of Tennessee, where coaches evaluate their depth charts, subtract graduating seniors, and identify critical positional needs—such as safety—for the 2027 class. Mathews also emphasizes the human element of the profession, arguing that a coach's job is to support players through "problem times," such as homesickness or personal struggles, to fulfill the promises made to families during the recruitment process. He concludes by detailing the strategic importance of "proximity recruiting," noting that while Tennessee's traditional foundations in Georgia and Western North Carolina remain vital, the explosive growth of high school talent in Middle Tennessee (specifically Williamson and Rutherford counties) has become a primary advantage for Coach Josh Heupel’s staff.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Famine Irish, lace-curtain Irish, shanty Irish: the Irish Diaspora has shaped Connecticut's European immigrant history from the 1840s.  Traces of Irish history and culture in the state are not only found in archival and artifact collections but also through the historic buildings, neighborhoods, and cemeteries that stand across the state. Whether they were immigrants, expatriates, refugees, or indentured servants when they arrived from Ireland, 14 percent of Connecticut's current residents claim Irish ancestry.   In today's episode, we take you to a new exhibition, A Journey of Hope: The Irish American Immigrant Experience curated by Ireland's Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield now on exhibit at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum. The exhibit has about 30 art pieces on view ranging from a 1714 map of Ireland to contemporary paintings completed in 2019. For anyone who's watching The Gilded Age television show, a trip to the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion will immerse you in French Second Empire grandeur of the type seen on the show. One of the things that makes the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion perfect for the Irish immigration exhibit is that the mansion had Irish women as domestic servants and tells their story, that of the "Bridget's" as they were known, in the mansion's second floor live-in servants' quarters. Our guest is John Foley, President of Ireland's Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield, a new non-profit dedicated to sharing the story of the Irish Diaspora, picking up where the now closed museum at Quinnipiac University left off after Covid. Foley will share the plans for a new museum building to house the collection. Our thanks to the staff of the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum for the tour of the exhibit and the house.  A Journey of Hope: The Irish American Immigrant Experience curated by Ireland's Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield will be up until Sept 6, 2026, so it's the perfect summer day trip!

In this episode of Big Orange Sunday, host Coach Doug Mathews takes listeners into "Realville" to analyze the shifting landscape of University of Tennessee football following the conclusion of spring practice. Mathews details the impact of the new 105-scholarship limit and predicts that the transfer portal will likely lead to an annual roster turnover of approximately 40%. He notes that the 2026 squad currently features only 18 players in their final year of eligibility, while the program is simultaneously breaking records by offering 18 in-state high school prospects for the 2027 recruiting class. The discussion also looks ahead to a favorable 2026 home schedule that includes high-stakes matchups against Alabama, Florida, and LSU at Neyland Stadium. The episode continues with veteran journalist Jimmy Hyams, who provides a comprehensive update on the success of Tennessee’s spring sports. They celebrate a historic milestone for the Lady Vols golf team, which captured its first-ever SEC Championship after entering the tournament as an underdog. Hyams also recaps the 2026 NFL Draft, highlighting the five Volunteers selected—including Jermod McCoy to the Raiders and Colton Hood—as part of a record-breaking year that saw 87 SEC players drafted.
