New York summertime in all of its glory. New York City has had an epic few months. From clinching a milestone NBA Championship title, to Mayor Mamdani rolling out affordable housing and fixing potholes, to World Cup fever, the summer of 2026 has (for the most part) been a rush of pure elation for residents. Soundtracking it all is Public Service. Even if there's no special occasion, the atmosphere is always electric. Multiple dance cyphers form; musicians bring instruments to jam; free pizza is distributed; informal marketplaces emerge in the back. Public Service is a living tapestry of block party culture, serving as a reminder that church-like communal joy doesn't need four walls or a roof. Toribio and Perez man the decks each time, dishing out heaters across Afro house, dembow, cumbia, electro, hip-hop and techno. It might be the city's only DIY party where you can hear Jackmaster, Kendrick Lamar and Willie Colón in a single hour or see kids, aunties and grandfathers in the crowd. RA.1053 is a recording of this year's season opener in May—its vibrant blends and carnival-like mood will likely have more than a few listeners planning trips to experience the magic. Taking place in Brooklyn parks during the summer and clubs during cold weather, the party has also held editions in Detroit, Miami and Montréal. Sound is powered by hot pink speaker stacks, decorated with flower garlands, courtesy of Karlala Soundsystem whose founder Karl Scholz regularly provides rentals for free or at a sliding scale to cultural organisers. A true labour of love, the gathering relies on donations to fund operating costs and city permits. Based on the ever-expanding number of regulars, fuelled by word-of-mouth recommendations, it's only a matter of time before Public Service becomes a global phenomenon.

Former NC State basketball star and 2-time NBA champion Josh Powell joins the Pack Insiders Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about his journey from Raleigh to the NBA and everything that came after. Josh gets candid about his time at NC State, why he ultimately left the program, the personal challenges he was dealing with at the time and the long road that followed. We also talk about his journey to the NBA, playing alongside Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, what it really takes to win a championship, and why the players who don't always show up in the box score are often much more important than fans realize. And now, Josh is onto his next chapter. We talk about his books, his work in the community and his new Crown3 basketball league, which is coming to Raleigh on August 30. There's a lot more in this conversation, including some great NC State stories and some fascinating insight into what life is like after basketball. Watch the full conversation and hear it directly from Josh.

In the first hour of the show Dave talks Niners, Christian McCaffrey, and the Brooklyn Nets owner isn't happy with the Knicks winning the NBA Championship.

We're diving deep into a wild Homie Helpline where Alex reveals how a 26-year-old Venezuelan TikToker tried to secure a $2,000 birthday haul after only six days of "milkman" service.

Carl and Mike open the show with thoughts on LeBron James agreeing to a deal with the 76ers and discuss whether or not this move will lead the 76ers to winning the NBA Championship this upcoming season, to which Carl notes with James being 41, no one should expect the 76ers to rely on James, however his experience and leadership are going to be very valuable.

The Mets won a series. Alert the authorities.This week on The Put it in the Books Show, Farace, Rodriguez, and Producer Joe break down the Mets finally taking 2 of 3 from the Royals, which would feel a lot better if the season wasn't already sitting in the corner wearing a neck brace.The .500 by the All-Star break goal is officially cooked, burned, buried, and probably traded to the Cubs for cash considerations. So now the conversation shifts from “can they save the season?” to “what the hell is the plan at the trade deadline?”Do the Mets sell and add talent throughout the system, or do they try to buy pieces at different levels and pretend this thing is still one hot streak away from mattering? Selling has pros: restock the farm, move short-term pieces, and stop lying to yourself. The cons? You're punting another expensive season and admitting the whole thing face-planted before August. Buying has pros too: you still have Soto, Lindor, and enough money to bully people. The cons? Buddy, have you watched this team?There is some good news. Juan Soto is an All-Star, because even in the middle of Mets chaos, superstar talent still shows up. Soto gets the nod, the kids keep making noise, and Nolan McLean continues to give Mets fans dangerous ace thoughts that Rodriguez will immediately try to ruin with math and sadness.We'll also talk about the offense waking up a little, Sean Manaea finally giving them length, Christian Scott flashing, A.J. Ewing and Carson Benge forcing the “play the kids” conversation, and Brett Baty picking a very interesting time to remind everyone he still exists.And yes, Farace will absolutely remind everyone that the Knicks won the 2026 NBA Championship, because New York joy is New York joy — and unlike the Mets, the Knicks actually figured out how to finish something without turning it into a federal investigation.Of course, because these are the Mets, even a series win comes with a bill. Mark Vientos gets hurt, trade deadline panic is still hanging over everything, and Andy Green is trying to manage a team that feels like it was assembled during a fire drill.Plus, we remember Phil Regan, “The Vulture,” who passed away at 89. Former pitcher, longtime coach, former Mets pitching coach, and a baseball lifer. Rest in peace to The Vulture.The goal is no longer .500. The goal is to look alive, figure out the keepers, and maybe not make Farace question every decision that led to owning microphones.Baseball. Sarcasm. Soto as an All-Star. Kids giving hope. Deadline pros and cons. Knicks championship joy. Trade panic. RIP Phil Regan. And Producer Joe probably wondering why he didn't fake a power outage.LGM.#PiitB #Mets

NYC has, arguably, dubbed its number one fan: Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The mayor has been celebrating big after the Knicks’ NBA Championship win, and cheering during the World Cup. To him, it’s more than sports; it’s political. “The World Cup offers us a chance to know each other as we truly are, to be curious, to be excited, to be joyful,” he told Latino USA. “Here in New York City, we have an opportunity to understand that no matter where you're from, you're at home.” Maria Hinojosa sits down with Mayor Mamdani to talk about sports, immigration, ICE, Trump, and what makes a great taco.

The Bros start the podcast recapping that and heading immediately into a Mental Health conversation after Terrance attended a Men's Event held by his uncle this past weekend. This convo gets intense and turns into a big DEBATE!The Bros talk about the New York Knicks winning the NBA Championship, Jalen Brunson's dad's comments, and the Spurs/Wemby's response to losing. Future announces New 2026 Album “The Real Me” on the way, and Baby Keem says he's better than some of the Big 3? The Karmelo Anthony case shows a lot about the system, Michelle Obama caught a stray and Terrance makes a point that she's used to insult black women, Kai Cenat returns to streaming with “Streamer University” which could either be a great look for the young streamers or could be simply an opportunity for a small viral moment but is it worth it? Lastly, the Bros talk about Obsession taking over the box office and both have mixed reviews on the film after viewing. Terrance thinks it's was the best film he's seen since Sinners and loves the simplicity while Terrell thought it was just ok and driven by popularity and word of mouth. They speak on the Art Director for the film speaking on her pay vs how much the movie made and finish with a shared Movie Suggestion of the week: “Disclosure Day” in theaters now directed by Stephen Spielberg.

“16 years in the NBA and 70% of my career, I played depressed. “-JR Smith In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, former NBA champion and basketball icon JR Smith sits down for one of his most candid conversations yet. From his rise as a high school phenom to a 16-year NBA career, JR reflects on the highs, lows, and lessons that shaped his journey. He opens up about playing on the biggest stage alongside LeBron James, competing in multiple NBA Finals, and what it meant to win an NBA Championship. Beyond the highlights and headlines, JR shares the personal battles he faced with mental health, the pressure of fame, and navigating life under constant public scrutiny. JR also revisits one of the most questionable and talked about moments of his career—the infamous NBA Finals play that became a defining headline of his legacy—sharing what was going through his mind, how he handled the backlash, and the lessons he learned from a mistake that nearly altered basketball history. JR also discusses some of the darkest moments of his life, including time spent in jail, the devastating loss of a close friend, and how those experiences changed his perspective forever. He speaks honestly about fatherhood, the challenges and rewards of parenting, and the responsibility of being a role model for his family. Now in a new chapter of life, JR reflects on personal growth, finding purpose beyond basketball, and the mindset that continues to drive him forward. This is a raw, honest, and inspiring conversation about resilience, redemption, and discovering who you are when the game is no longer the center of your world.

The Knicks finally did it. Bomani Jones reacts to the New York Knicks winning the NBA championship, Jalen Brunson's legendary 45-point closeout performance, and what this title means for New York City. Bo breaks down how Brunson cemented himself as the king of New York, why the Knicks' depth, conditioning, and maturity ultimately separated them from the Spurs, and how Mike Brown coached a championship-level series. Bomani also reflects on the unique relationship between the Knicks and New York City — from Madison Square Garden to the streets, bars, parks, and neighborhoods that turned this championship run into a citywide experience. Why does this title feel different from other championships? Why do the Knicks hit New Yorkers so deeply? And what does this moment say about basketball as theater, culture, and community? Plus, Bomani discusses the start of the World Cup, the excitement around the U.S. men's national team, and the experience of international fans discovering America through sports, road trips, Waffle House, Buc-ee's, and the South.
