Local media across America is in its most tumultuous moment in decades, and Detroit is at the center of it. From the end of the joint operating agreement between the Free Press and the News, to shifts in public media funding, to the chaos around how you watch the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings, there's a lot to sort through. I talk with longtime PR pro and media watcher Matt Friedman of Tanner Friedman Public Relations about what's really happening, what's at stake for Metro Detroiters, and why your media subscriptions matter more than ever. The Rundown: 01:56 - People are confused in today's fast-changing media landscape. 02:58 Detroit's JOA (Joint Operating Agreement) is dissolved and the Detroit News and Free Press are separate now. What does that mean? Matt walks through how joint operating agreements emerged in the 1980s to keep multiple daily papers alive, and how Detroit's JOA kept the News and Freep tied together on the business side while competing in the newsroom for decades. He explains why their recent split into fully separate business and news operations is such a big deal in a market many don't think is "big enough" to support two robust metro newsrooms. We also get into the financial pressures facing local media, how Pittsburgh has lost two papers recently, how the New York Times makes more money and more profit than all of the USAToday/Gannett papers combined, and more.  18:08 The state of PBS and Public Media today: In short, it's not dead. With federal funding clawed back through a budget rescission and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolved, local stations now have to replace that money through philanthropy and memberships, which Detroit has managed so far — but smaller markets may not.  22:57 The local sports TV rights business is a mess right now.  There's real uncertainty about how fans will watch first‑place teams if the parent of the regional sports network can't find a buyer, and that contingency planning is already underway. Plus, might we see some games on free TV?  This was a conversation as a media nerd I was glad to have with someone who has a 360 degree view of the landscape, and I hope you get some value out of it.  If you've got feedback, email me - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com, hit up our contact form, or leave a voicemail at 313-789-3211.

The first week of the new year brought a lot of changes for Pittsburgh. Corey O'Connor was sworn in as mayor, the Block family announced that it's shutting down City Paper and the Post-Gazette, and the Steelers made it to the playoffs thanks to a divine intervention. Host Megan Harris is joined by City Paper's former news editor, Colin Williams, and Axios Pittsburgh's Ryan Deto to talk about O'Connor's first week in office, what the loss of two local papers means for the city, and whether the Steelers could win a playoff game for the first time in nearly a decade. They also discuss Pittsburgh's connection to the hit show "Heated Rivalry" and another Bucco Brick fiasco. Then, producer Sophia Lo joins Colin and Megan to run through a few things to look forward to (or dread) as we go through 2026.

Episode No. 740 features artist Firelei Báez and curators Charlene Foggie-Barnett and Dan Leers. The MCA Chicago is presenting "Firelei Báez," the first North American mid-career survey of the artist's paintings and installations. Báez's work often explores the legacies of colonialism across the American and the African diaspora, in the Caribbean, and beyond. Her works are often explosively colorful and use complex and layered materials, including archival material and paint, to unsettle fixed categories and historical events. The exhibition was curated by Eva Respini with Tessa Bachi Haas; the MCA Chicago presentation was organized by Carla Acevedo-Yates with Cecelia González Godino and Iris Colburn. It is on view through May 31. A catalogue was published by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston in association with DelMonico Books. It is available from Amazon and Bookshop for $36-56. Institutions that have previously presented major Báez exhibitions include the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhagen, The Momentary in Bentonville, Ark., the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and The Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Foggie-Barnett and Leers are the co-curators of "Black Photojournalism" at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh. The exhibition presents work by nearly 60 photographers chronicling historic events and daily life in the United States between 1945 and 1984. The exhibition was designed by David Hartt. It is on view through January 19, before traveling to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. An excellent catalogue was published by the Carnegie. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $60. In addition to the video below, the CMOA has produced an outstanding podcast series to accompany the show.

Host Brad Fowler reacts to a chaotic postseason as shocking NFL coaching news, College Football Playoff semifinals, and NFL Wild Card matchups take center stage. We open with a full reaction to breaking news just before recording: the Baltimore Ravens firing head coach John Harbaugh. We break down why the move happened, who Baltimore should hire next, why the Ravens instantly become the best NFL head coaching job available, and why Harbaugh now becomes the top coaching candidate on the market. Next, we dive into Black Monday fallout across the NFL, including the firings of Jonathan Gannon, Pete Carroll, Raheem Morris, and Kevin Stefanski. We discuss Arizona’s reset, the Raiders’ collapse, Atlanta’s long-overdue clean house despite a talented roster, and why Cleveland’s issues extend far beyond Stefanski — with the Deshaun Watson trade still shaping the franchise. In College Football, we preview and make picks for the CFP semifinals. We break down Miami vs Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl, Miami’s shocking win over Ohio State, and whether the Hurricanes can control the game or survive a shootout. We also preview the Peach Bowl rematch between Oregon and Indiana, revisiting their regular-season matchup, quarterback pressure, line-of-scrimmage battles, and why Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers may be the most complete team left. We close with full NFL Wild Card previews and picks, including Rams vs Panthers, Packers vs Bears, Bills vs Jaguars, 49ers vs Eagles, Chargers vs Patriots, and Texans vs Steelers. We break down key injuries, coaching advantages, matchup edges, and why several favorites may be on upset alert. From Drake Maye’s MVP-level leap, Trevor Lawrence’s late-season surge, Houston’s elite defense, and why Pittsburgh may be the weakest team in the playoff field — it’s a must-listen postseason episode.

He shares his thoughts on Michael Penix's talent versus his injury history and names Matt Stafford as his pick for MVP. The conversation also previews Miami's CFP semifinal against Ole Miss, highlighting Malachi Toney's versatility and the Hurricanes' running game strategy. Joe and Dave shift to the NFL playoffs, naming Jacksonville the hottest AFC team and picking Houston to upset Pittsburgh. The hour closes with one final look at the Harbaugh storyline before wrapping up the show.

They also touch on Team USA's roster and highlight notable omissions. They wrap up the show by discussing whether there could be any fallout between the Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues on Wednesday night following Bedard's injury on Dec. 12 in the last meeting.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland in 2026 these tips will make planning smoother, help you avoid crowds, and maybe even save you a bit of money. Probably the most important tips are when NOT to be in Dublin, but there are some updates to European entry & exit systems that you need to know, as well as really important advice for 2027. Jody Halsted – Ireland Family Vacations and the Traveling in Ireland podcast In case you're wondering why you would want to get your Ireland travel advice from me… My name is Jody Halsted, and I am an Ireland travel advisor. I have been traveling to and through Ireland for over 23 years (!!), publish Ireland Family Vacations, host the Traveling in Ireland podcast, assist hundreds of travelers with their Ireland vacations each year and, occasionally, I also host small group tours through Ireland (I have 2 this spring so you can look forward to some live from Ireland episodes in April and May). That's a lot! But Ireland travel is my passion; and my goal -100% – is to help you have an amazing Ireland vacation. And I have quite a few ways to do that. My website, Ireland Family Vacations, is a complete resource for Ireland vacation planning – filled with information on what to do & see as well as handy tips for planning your trip and free itineraries to get your plans in motion quickly. (Don't let the name fool you! I travel through Ireland solo, with my husband, with my family, and hosting small group tours. Whatever your group size or dynamic I am able to assist!) My itinerary personalization, vacation coaching, and custom itinerary creation services help you maximize your Ireland experience, and my small group guided tours are designed to not only deliver the ‘authentic' Ireland of your dreams but also introduce you to the people and hidden places that make the country so very magical. If you love the process of planning your trip the Ireland Travel Compass walks you step-by-step through my expert process, from when to visit and how long the perfect vacation lasts, to what to see, where to stay, and even what to eat. It's basically my entire Ireland vacation planning brain laid out. On a more personal note, I have 2 daughters, now in college, who have been traveling through Ireland with me since before they could toddle and one very supportive husband (who loves it when I plan other people's vacations because it means I'm not planning my own).

If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier. And when budget carriers enter a market, US based airlines will drop rates to compete.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the Pittsburgh Steelers surviving the Baltimore Ravens 26–24 to win the AFC North and punch their ticket back to the NFL playoffs. JT explains why this was the biggest regular-season win of Mike Tomlin's career and how the Steelers' resiliency defined their season after everything nearly fell apart. JT breaks down Aaron Rodgers' vintage performance at 42, why this team can win ugly, and why the Houston Texans should be very uncomfortable seeing Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round. On the other side, JT dives into what this collapse means for John Harbaugh and why the Ravens' continued failures with Lamar Jackson point directly to coaching.

Over the past 35 years, as he's sought new and innovative ways to pursue his passion for the cartoon arts, his career path has taken as many twists and turns as one of his wonderful mazes. For example, he spent 30 years touring the U.S. as a performer, illustrating stories live as he told them. He founded and ran a cartoon art museum here in Pittsburgh called the Toonseum. He illustrated symphony performances live with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. And he's exhibited his art in museums worldwide.

The Browns have fired Kevin Stefanski after six seasons. We think it's a terrible decision by the Steelers and that Stefanski is a good coach. Bo Nix has won 24 games in his first two seasons. Joe Burrow wants the Bengals to make changes, but the Bengals are not making any coaching changes.

This is who WE would want. Brian Batko is confident in Justin Herbert. Herbert has a good coach and Brian and Austin think he will break through. Joe has Aaron Rodgers 3rd! Brian trusts CJ Stroud and Trevor Lawrence more than Rodgers. We all think that Sean Payton is the best coach in the AFC that is in the playoffs!

Things are different for the Steelers with the circumstances. They're at home, not playing an elite quarterback, and have a guy in Aaron Rodgers that gives them a solid chance Monday. Will this be a game the Steelers are reminded they don't have a young quarterback. Mike Tomlin reiterated that the Steelers did nothing different against Myles Garrett.

Mike Tomlin's comments on playing the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round on Monday night at Acrisure Stadium and our reaction.

Nick thinks the Texans defense is the best unit in the NFL. He gives the Steelers their best chance in a playoff game in years. The Texans don't have a great offense. Nick thinks the Texans' offensive line is putrid. He is worried about Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger. Nick would pick Houston in an ugly, low scoring game, right now.

Aaron Rodgers has been playing very well. The Texans have a great defense and the Steelers need a good gameplan. Rodgers has not thrown a pick since November 9. We believe the Steelers can beat the Texans and potentially make a run.

Joe Starkey is all aboard the Steelers train going into the playoffs. This is a different team than it has been the last five years. Rodgers is very comfortable in the Steelers offense and calling his own plays at the line. The throws to Pat Freiermuth and Adam Thielen in stride were impressive, even more so for an older quarterback.

Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac join Jason to relive the incredible Baltimore-Pittsburgh close to the NFL regular season. Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, and Lamar Jackson staged an epic battle for the final playoff spot and the AFC North division crown. Who is to blame for the Ravens' failure? How much credit does Mike Tomlin deserve for Pittsburgh's season-saving victory? The guys also discuss the firing of Kevin Stefanski and Raheem Morris, Myles Garrett breaking the sack record, Shedeur Sanders' future, and the college football playoffs.

While the Talking Feds team is on holiday break, we are re-airing a roundtable conversation with Steve Adler, then-mayor of Austin; Jenny Durkan, then-mayor of Seattle; and Bill Peduto, the former long-time mayor of Pittsburgh. This special topical episode focuses on municipal government and the mayors who run it. The first year of Trump 2.0 has brought to the forefront the clash between federal and state authority. But it's at the municipal level that the potholes and garbage pickups hit the road, and an American ideal of representative democracy is most in play. Learn more about your ad choices.

January 5, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 73 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 18 home win against the Baltimore Ravens, resulting in the team capturing the AFC North title. We go over what an exciting game it was and how the two oldest players on the field, QB Aaron Rodgers and DT Cameron Heyward, played a big part in the victory. Alex and I talk about how divine intervention possibly played a part in the Sunday win thanks to the pregame actions of a priest with some holy water. In our weekly housekeeping portion of this show, which is sponsored by the fine folks at TouringPlans.com, Alex and I talk about the Steelers' Sunday night inactive list and the transaction the team made on Saturday afternoon. RB Kenneth Gainwell was voted team MVP on Friday, so Alex and I discuss that bit of news. After going through the newsy items related to Saturday and Sunday, Alex and I look at what all transpired at Acrisure Stadium against the Ravens. We first talk about the Steelers' offense and how that side of the ball really got it going late in the first half. We discuss the failed fourth and goal play to close out the first half. The running game finally came alive late in the first half, and the passing game really followed suit in the second half. We discuss several big plays made by Pittsburgh's offense throughout the game and the contributions made in the contest by WR Calvin Austin III and TE Pat Freiermuth. We discuss how good the Steelers offense was on third downs against the Ravens. After a lengthy discussion about the Steelers' offense, Alex and I do the same with their defense. We discuss the way that unit shut down Ravens RB Derrick Henry in the second half. We also discuss the three explosive play touchdowns that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson delivered in the game. OLB T.J. Watt returned from his recent lung issue Sunday night, so we discuss the impact that he had on the win over the Ravens. The play of several individual Steelers defensive players, along with their respective snap counts, is discussed in the second half of the show. Obviously, the missed field goal by the Ravens to end the game is discussed and we make sure to go over the play of the Steelers' special teams' units on Sunday night. The Steelers will get WR DK Metcalf back for their Wild Card game against the Houston Texans next Monday night, so we make sure to highlight that. Alex and I make sure to mix in quite a few stats and tidbits throughout this show. This 105-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Team insiders Ryan Mink and Garrett Downing share their thoughts on the Ravens' 26-24 loss, including Tyler Loop's missed 44-yard field goal, a heroic fourth-quarter performance by Lamar Jackson, and a leaky defense down the stretch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Evan and Tiki break down the brutal reality of the New York Jets after an embarrassing finish to the season and a disastrous first year under Aaron Glenn. They explain why Aaron Rodgers winning games in Pittsburgh does not mean the Jets made the wrong decision, and why keeping him would have actually made the future worse. The conversation dives into whether firing Aaron Glenn after one season would truly fix anything, or if it would push the Jets further into dysfunction. Evan lays out why “trust me” and “have faith” is not a real plan, while still arguing that a one and done firing may do more harm than good without a clear upgrade waiting. They examine how trading Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams changed the locker room, why the roster looked nonprofessional down the stretch, and how the Jets ended up here with so little talent on the field. Plus, a realistic look at the quarterback options, draft capital, cap space, and whether there is any legitimate reason for hope moving forward. It is an honest Black Monday discussion about a franchise at rock bottom and the dangerous choices that come next.
