Emmet Kennedy is joined by one of racing's most respected pundits, Gavin Lynch, for a special episode of the Final Furlong Podcast recorded live at the Curragh Racecourse. It's never too early to talk about the greatest show on turf, so we look ahead to the new National Hunt season through the prism of the Cheltenham Festival 2027 Championship races. For the first time in four years, the Champion Hurdle is set to feature neither Constitution Hill nor State Man, while the annual Willie Mullins question of whether Lossiemouth runs in the Champion Hurdle or Mares' Hurdle is gone. So where does that leave the division? The defending champion is available at 5/2, and that's Gavin's first port of call.

Alan Saunders & Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss Mike McCarthy discussing the idea of keeping 4 quarterbacks on the roster, what he needs to see from his RB3 in that battle, how Jalen Ramsey changes things for the defense and not going into much detail in regard to the teams' preseason finale. We also discuss the team signing Brandon Hill, with Sebastian Castro in a boot and if moving on from Roman Wilson makes sense. Join us for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all of this.

You Down With YPP?Episode Description:I break down YouTube's latest changes to its Partner Program, including doubled watch-hour requirements and higher Shorts monetization thresholds ahead of the February 2027 deadline. I also bring in YouTube expert Adam Ivey's take on why the real story isn't necessarily the new criteria, and I share my own channel's numbers so you can set realistic expectations for your own YouTube journey.Then the AI kids stop by for story time as I take a look at Spotify's decade-long history of making big podcasting promises—and quietly failing to deliver on them. From a scrapped hosting partnership to a Creator Fund that never paid a cent, there's plenty to unpack.Plus, Ray Ortega drops by with the shortest—and most accurate—definition of “podcast” you'll ever hear.YouTube Partner Program (YPP) changes, effective February 1, 2027Watch-hour requirement doubles: 4,000 to 8,000 hours in the past year (new creators only; existing YPP members are grandfathered in)Shorts monetization threshold doubles: 10 million to 20 million qualified views in 90 days to get in, then a rolling 10 million views every 90 days to maintain earningsFull monetization tier: 1,000 subscribers, $100 payment thresholdLower tier (500 subscribers): unlocks YouTube Shopping (affiliate) and channel memberships, requires 3,000 watch hours or 3 million Shorts viewsThe real story behind the changesAdam Ivy's stat: 67% of YouTube creators make less than $10,000/yearYouTube's stated pivot: broadening revenue beyond ads, with bonuses for YouTube Shopping, brand-deal incentives, and trend-based earning boostsYouTube says it expects to pay creators more in 2027 than 2026: money is shifting, not shrinkingSteve Stewart (Podcast Editor Academy): "Don't just sell your audience to sponsors, sell sponsors on how great your audience is"Is YouTube worth it?

This week on Pods Like Us Chronicles, Marv sits down with Jamie East — Head of Podcast at DGM, and creator/host of Bad Blood: Life of a Cancer — for an unfiltered conversation about turning a chronic myeloid leukaemia diagnosis into one of the most honest podcasts around.Jamie talks about recording the first phone call within days of diagnosis, why he refused to cut the swearing out in the edit, using dark humour as a coping mechanism, his trip to Glasgow with Leukaemia UK to meet the researchers behind the science, and why he called out a rival podcast's trailer for peddling "big pharma" conspiracy nonsense. He also explains why, one year on, he's not sure there's more to say — and why that might be exactly the right place to end a show.Content warning: this episode contains strong language throughout.After the interview, a trailer for fellow July Podcasting Month show Fallacious Trump, followed by Marv's usual round-up of the week's biggest podcasting news and views — and closing out with a trailer for Sports Are Dumb.The back half of this episode is Marv's usual whirlwind tour through the podcasting industry's week, pulling together insight from across the newsletter world. He touches on backing up your archive for new formats via Mia Kuroki, the discipline of staying in your lane rather than chasing every platform via Neal Veglio, and the shifting landscape at Buzzcast, Spotify and Megaphone via Gavin Gaddis. There's a nod to James Cridland's spot on Tom Holland interviewing Tom Holland, Frank Racioppi's Forbes piece championing shows that genuinely help people through hard moments in life, and Stephanie Fuccio's reflections on using AI to wrangle scattered thoughts and on the value of a good trailer. Rounding it out are GoodPods' most-viewed shows, John McDermott's take on parasocial listening habits and Netflix's secretive podcast numbers, and Tony Doe's look at AI discoverability, a rap-format chat show, and the growing podcast scene across Africa — a genuinely packed, "something for everyone" segment for anyone working in or around the medium.

Big Idea: Don't let AirPods tune out God's megaphone!Numbers 11:15 “If you are going to treat me like this, please kill me right now if I have found favor with you, and don't let me see my misery anymore.” I. It might be God's preparation… 2 Corinthians 1:3-5Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.II. or build your patience… Psalm 88:18You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend.III. but it's never permanent.Psalm 30:5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.Next Step:Believe: I need Jesus to give life to my dead soul today.Become: I will wait for God's will this week.Be Sent: I will minister to someone in pain this week.Discussion Questions: Has anyone walked with you through the same pain they once suffered? If so, how did it impact you?Do you look at depression as a spiritual problem or a mental health problem?  Explain your answer. Does seeing a mental health professional mean that your faith is weak?If we belong to Heaven, why do we allow circumstances on Earth to cause us pain?When was the last time God turned your weeping into joy? How can you comfort someone facing mental health problems this week?Pray for the opportunity to put that ministry into practice this week.
