On this episode, I welcome Andrea Goldner, affectionately known as Nanni Andi, to talk about her picture book Nanni Andi and Our Adventure to All Friends Park and her lifelong work as a nanny. Andrea shares how, after raising her own kids, she went "back" into childcare because it's what she truly loves and does best. Calling herself a "new wave Mary Poppins," she explains why reading to children from newborn age is so powerful: it builds vocabulary, confidence, and, most importantly, a deep emotional bond. Andrea describes how her stories prepare kids for real-world experiences—like going to the park, zoo, or museum—so that when they finally get there, it's not scary or overwhelming. Through Nanni Andi, kids already "know" the swings, the slide, or the elephant at the zoo. She's passionate about getting caregivers off the bench (and off their phones) to actually play, push the swings, catch kids at the bottom of the slide, and read together. That's also why she's created matching coloring books—so children can "re-create" their own day at the park and reinforce what they've read. Andrea talks about the joy of walking up to a house and seeing kids waiting excitedly in the window, the respect that comes from treating children as real partners, and how she's now training other nannies and coaching families on how to hire and support great caregivers. In the second half of the show, I'm joined by Ben Gundersheimer (Mister G) to chat about his picture book How Many Squirrels Are in the World?, his bilingual music, love of nature, and his mission to get families off screens and back into the real world—together.

Nick Kirby breaks down the Cincinnati Reds' brand-new TV deal and explains exactly how to watch Reds.TV in 2026. With Major League Baseball taking over production and distribution, the Reds are leaving the Regional Sports Network model after more than three decades — a run that included SportsChannel Ohio, FOX Sports Ohio, Bally Sports Ohio, and FanDuel Sports Network. While MLB and the team are promoting that “blackouts are over,” Nick explains why that's a bit misleading and what it really means for fans inside and outside the Reds TV market. He details which games will and won't be available on Reds.TV, including national broadcasts on FOX, Peacock, and FS1, and what to expect from potential local simulcasts. Most importantly, Nick walks through how your viewing options change depending on where you live, breaks down the full Reds TV market footprint, and compares every subscription option — from the standalone Reds package to the in-market bundle and MLB+. Nick also covers pricing, cable and satellite expectations, streaming device compatibility, and what T-Mobile customers need to know about the free MLB.TV offer. If you're confused about how to watch the Reds this season, this episode gives you everything you need to know.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sh8cuusoCaY      OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org    

Nick Kirby breaks down the biggest storylines from Cincinnati Reds Spring Training in Goodyear as Terry Francona sets the tone with a clear message: “It's time.” Hear the latest from Francona, including his responsibility for managing Elly De La Cruz's workload in 2026, why Elly won't play 162 games this season, and how the young superstar is entering camp stronger and more confident. Elly is reportedly up to 217 pounds — nearly 15 pounds heavier than last year — and feeling ready for big expectations. Nick also dives into standout performances from camp, including Chase Burns dominating live BP with three strikeouts and a groundout. Burns discusses major improvements to his fastball and curveball and is set to throw a couple of innings in the Reds' Spring Training opener against the Cleveland Guardians. The competition for the final rotation spot heats up, while Nick Lodolo shares why he believes the Reds can have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Plus, updates on Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson's innings management after missing significant time. Matt McLain's maturity and approach at the plate have impressed Francona, who views him as the ideal No. 2 hitter. Will Benson's spring is off to a much different start compared to last year. Tyler Callihan is fully cleared and focusing on second base and left field after last season's injury. Sal Stewart is making noise this spring, working primarily at first and second base while openly chasing NL Rookie of the Year honors. Stewart has been studying first base defense and could see time at multiple infield spots as roster construction takes shape.

With players returning from AFCON and favourable fixtures coming up, the instant reaction to Michael Carrick's arrival as head coach against rivals Man City has pulled Man Utd players back into consideration

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are conducting a high-profile search for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Josh Grizzard following an 8–9 season and a missed playoff berth in 2025. Among the names they're exploring is Dan Pitcher, the Bengals' offensive coordinator, who is scheduled to interview with Tampa Bay this week. Pitcher, 39, has been on the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff since 2016, ascending from offensive assistant to quarterbacks coach and then offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Though he holds the OC title in Cincinnati, Bengals head coach Zac Taylor retains play-calling duties, which means Pitcher hasn't had an opportunity to call plays in regular-season games. Taylor has granted him permission to interview with teams offering play-calling offensive coordinator roles, making the Buccaneers' opening a potentially significant career move. The interview represents both an opportunity and a challenge. On paper, it could be seen as a lateral move in terms of job title, but for Pitcher it's a rare chance to step into a role where he would directly run the offense on game days — something he hasn't done in Cincinnati. His track record includes helping develop quarterback Joe Burrow into one of the NFL's premier passers, which is a major selling point for Tampa Bay as they look to revitalize an offense that underperformed in key areas last season. Tampa Bay's coaching search has been extensive, with interviews already held with several candidates including former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, Ravens OC Todd Monken, and others. Pitcher adds another experienced offensive mind to that mix as the Buccaneers weigh their next steps. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

Mike Tomlin stepping down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is a seismic moment in the AFC North, and it's a development that directly benefits the Cincinnati Bengals. After nearly two decades of unmatched stability, leadership, and competitiveness in Pittsburgh, the Steelers now enter an era of uncertainty—while the Bengals remain firmly in their championship window. For years, Tomlin was the constant obstacle standing in Cincinnati's way. Even during seasons when the Steelers lacked elite quarterback play or top-tier talent, Tomlin's teams were disciplined, physical, and extremely difficult to put away. He consistently kept Pittsburgh relevant in the AFC North race and made divisional matchups against the Bengals intense, unpredictable, and costly. With Tomlin gone, that institutional advantage disappears overnight. From a football standpoint, coaching turnover almost always brings short-term regression. A new head coach means new systems, new terminology, and a locker room that must reset its identity. That transition period is exactly what a team like the Bengals can exploit. Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the core of Cincinnati's roster already understand their system and expectations. Continuity matters in the NFL, and right now, the Bengals have it while the Steelers don't. There's also a psychological shift at play. Tomlin was the face of Steelers football and a symbol of confidence within the division. His departure changes the balance of power and gives Cincinnati a chance to assert itself as the AFC North's most stable and authoritative franchise. Free agents, draft strategy, and player development in Pittsburgh may all be impacted during this transition, creating further opportunity for Cincinnati to pull ahead. In a division defined by toughness and margins, losing a coach like Mike Tomlin is more than symbolic—it's a competitive opening. And for the Bengals, it couldn't come at a better time.

Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin break down a revealing report from Bob Nightengale detailing the turbulent offseason surrounding Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds. The discussion centers on Greene's 90-minute sit-down, where he made it clear he loves being in Cincinnati, does not want to be traded, and pushed back strongly against speculation surrounding his 2025 season. Greene also addressed his decision to decline repeated invitations from World Baseball Classic officials, choosing instead to remain with his Reds teammates during spring training. Nick and Craig dive into Greene's sharp response to narratives questioning the length of his recovery from a strained right groin that sidelined him for 2½ months last season. Greene called suggestions that he delayed his return or didn't want to be with the team “disrespectful” and “disingenuous,” firmly rejecting that characterization. The episode also examines comments from Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall, who suggested the reporting around Greene has been overblown, and whether this situation is something the organization can fully move past. Finally, Nick and Craig revisit past criticism of the World Baseball Classic from Terry Francona in 2017 and discuss whether those views could influence Reds player participation in future tournaments. A must-listen episode on player perception, injury narratives, organizational trust, and what all of this means for Hunter Greene and the Reds moving forward.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seSmzP8dYpM      OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org

Nick Kirby and Craig Sandlin break down a new report detailing the Cincinnati Reds' offseason strategy following the additions of JJ Bleday and Dane Myers. The report indicates both players were acquired as upside plays—and as insurance if a larger move does not materialize. They also discuss why the Reds are “not entertaining” trade talks involving TJ Friedl, what it would mean if the Reds decide to trade a starting pitcher, and why the front office would look to replace that arm immediately. Nick shares his thoughts on a perfect trade target for Cincinnati, plus dives into a subtle but telling comment in the report that could offer insight into the Reds' plans for Will Benson in 2026.   Today's Episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pcejsH535U      OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org     OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org      OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org

Victor Wembanyama doesn't even need to start to completely flip a game on its head. On this episode of The Alley Oop Basketball Show on DLS Hoops, Juju Gotti and Trysta Krick break down how Wemby lifted the Spurs just by coming off the bench — blocking everything in sight, dominating the paint, and casually stuffing the stat sheet like it's light work. The hosts also dig into the growing tension between Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — is this the beginning of a real breakup, or just another NBA power struggle brewing behind the scenes? And finally… Steph Curry might be the only superstar in the league who can sell shoes while barely wearing his own.  Juju and Trysta react to Steph rocking seemingly every sneaker brand except his own, and what that says about sneaker culture, endorsements, and Curry's legacy. From generational talent to franchise drama to sneaker comedy — this episode has it all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
