Description:This episode of On Stage takes us deeper into the SBJ archives than ever before, revisiting a keynote interview from the 2016 Intercollegiate Athletics Forum with Paul Tagliabue, the longtime former commissioner of the National Football League. Tagliabue, who led the NFL from 1989 to 2006, oversaw one of the league's most transformative eras: four expansion franchises, high-profile franchise relocations, and landmark decisions that reflected the NFL's influence on culture and society—from postponing games after 9/11 to moving a Super Bowl over Arizona's refusal to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020, his impact continues to shape the sports landscape today. In conversation with SBJ's Publisher and Executive Editor Abe Madkour, Tagliabue reflects on leadership, governance, social responsibility, and the business of sports during his time at the helm. Listening now, nearly a decade later, provides unique perspective: a reminder of how far the industry has come and how timeless lessons in integrity, vision, and adaptability remain. This is the beauty of On Stage: giving important conversations from SBJ's archives new life, showing how they continue to inform the issues and debates of today.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Description:In this episode of On Stage, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred joins SBJ Senior Writer Joe Lemire for a candid conversation on the business, challenges, and opportunities shaping professional baseball. Recorded on April 22, 2025, at the CAA World Congress of Sports presented by Sports Business Journal, this keynote captures Manfred's perspective just months before major headlines about MLB's labor landscape and new national media rights negotiations. While the news cycle has since moved quickly—with fresh updates on his talks with players over the next labor agreement and signs of progress on a new media deal—this conversation offers an evergreen look at the commissioner's leadership priorities and long-term vision for the league. Topics include: Labor Relations: How MLB approaches dialogue with the players' union and lessons from past negotiations. Media and Distribution Strategy: MLB's vision for its next rights deal and the role of direct-to-consumer streaming. The Business of the Game: Expanding MLB's global reach and deepening engagement with younger fans. Competition and On-Field Innovation: Balancing tradition with changes that improve pace of play and overall fan experience. Leadership at the Helm: What it takes to guide a century-old league in a rapidly evolving sports landscape. It's a valuable snapshot of the commissioner's thinking—one that's as relevant today as when he stepped on stage.

Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has set the Latin music scene abuzz in the past few days with a whirlwind of headline-making activity. Rolling Stone reports that the breakout star capped off July by dropping a new single titled Gervonta, a luxe anthem referencing boxer Gervonta Davis who even promoted the release on his own Instagram story. This marks Peso Pluma's first major release since his album Exodo, and once again spotlights his signature blend of extravagance, fame, and Mexican musical roots. On the business front, Variety highlights his meteoric rise with the upcoming release of his new album Genesis, a project he has been developing over the past year in partnership with Double P Records and Prajin Music Group. Peso's genre-spanning collaborations draw in heavy-hitters from Mexico and Puerto Rico and have helped secure his place among Spotify's most-streamed global artists.However, Peso Pluma's fame isn't without its controversies. Parriva reports that on July 25, he received public warnings regarding his songs' alleged links to organized crime, raising ongoing discussions about the cultural influence and social responsibilities of regional Mexican music's leading lights. While these warnings have reignited debates on censorship and artistic expression, there is currently no evidence of official action against Peso Pluma.The singer's personal life has drawn as much attention as his music. According to People and AOL, Peso Pluma's relationship drama with Argentinian singer Nicki Nicole has been splashed all over social media this week. After footage surfaced of Peso holding hands with another woman at a Las Vegas casino during Super Bowl weekend, Nicki Nicole released a pointed Instagram Story about love and respect, all but confirming the end of their high-profile romance. In the wake of the breakup, AOL notes that his relationship with model Hanna Howell has become increasingly public, starting to make headlines in their own right.Onstage, Peso Pluma's dominance remains clear. The Fresno Bee covers his recent arena tour stop, describing a production that elevates Mexican corrido culture to new heights of mainstream visibility and impact. Clips circulating on Instagram show fans dissecting streaming numbers from his most recent album and reminiscing over past collaborations, underscoring how every public move makes waves in the music community.As Baja Beach Fest draws near with Peso Pluma in the headline mix, his past week reflects both his superstar allure and the persistent scrutiny of public life at the summit of Latin music. With chart-topping releases, headline-grabbing relationships, and the scrutiny of cultural watchdogs, Peso Pluma's every step keeps fans and critics glued to the latest from música Mexicana's hottest name.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Tonight we mark Women Veterans Day, which is observed annually on June 12 to commemorate the signing of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law by President Truman in 1948. This act allowed women to serve permanently in the regular armed forces.  To help us honor this anniversary, we invite playwright Ash Singer, whose recent documentary theater play, ​In Their Footsteps brings to life the true stories of five American women—two military officers and three civilian volunteers—who served during the Vietnam War. Joining Ash will be Ann Kelsey, whose story is dramatized in the play, along with other women featured. Developed from in-depth oral histories, the script captures their poignant, humorous, and harrowing experiences, shedding light on the often-overlooked contributions of women in wartime. ​The performance immerses audiences in the personal narratives of Ann Kelsey, Judy Jenkins Gaudino, Doris “Lucki” Allen, Jeanne “Sam” Christie, and Lily Adams. Through innovative staging and modular set pieces that transform into various wartime settings—such as bunkers, rooftops, and military vehicles—the play delves into themes of service, resilience, and the psychological toll of war, including issues like sexual harassment and PTSD. ​ Since its initial workshop in New York City in 2017, In Their Footsteps has had an impressive run:​ 2018: Featured in the East to Edinburgh Festival at 59E59 Theaters in NYC and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. 2019: Performed at the BorderLight International Fringe Festival in Cleveland, Ohio, and at the Women's Overseas Service League annual conference in San Antonio, Texas. 2020–2021: Adapted into a Zoom production and a radio play in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, expanding its reach to schools and veteran organizations. 2021: Presented at the OnStage! Festival in Milan and Rome, Italy.​ The production is set to return in Fall 2025 with a new run at the Bronx Music Hall, offering an even more immersive experience. Plans are also underway for a 2025–26 tour of New York City schools and a multi-city U.S. tour, aiming to engage diverse audiences through performances, discussions, and educational workshops. ​ In 2020, IVP collaborated with WLIW-FM to produce a radio adaptation of In Their Footsteps, which premiered on NPR station 88.3 WLIW-FM Long Island. This adaptation, titled “Revisiting ‘In Their Footsteps' in Honor of Dr. ‘Lucki' Allen,” earned a 2025 Gracie Award for Excellence in Radio Programming. The Gracie Awards, presented by the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation, honor exemplary programming created by, for, and about women.The radio play features authentic soundscapes and the voices of the original women, providing listeners with an intimate and powerful portrayal of their experiences. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of these women's stories and the importance of preserving their legacy through various media. ​ For more information or to listen to the radio play, visit WLIW-FM's website.

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod for loads of exclusive content and to join our family of psychos! Trigger warning: This episode discusses difficult topics including suicide, homicide, and other forms of trauma.  Please listen with caution. What comes to mind when you think of "black metal" music? Face paint, screams laced with hate, rage, aggression. Most metalheads might talk a big game about Satan, death, and destruction, but in reality are often mild-mannered accountants or kindergarten teachers who can't even stand the sight of blood. But what if the darkness wasn't just for show? What if the chaos, the obsession with death, and the destruction wasn't a stage persona but a way of life (and death)? This was the grim reality for Mayhem, a Norwegian black metal band formed just outside Oslo in 1984, widely regarded as the pioneers of the Norwegian black metal scene. Their infamy goes far beyond the music they created or the genre they helped define—it's rooted in the pure, unrelenting chaos, violence, and nihilism they embodied. Onstage, offstage, and in the very depths of their existence, they lived what many would only dare to perform: satanic worship, neo-Nazism, arson, cannibalism, suicide, and murder. As the band name suggests, this case is absolute mayhem.
