Disney merchandise is changing fast, and this week Jim Hill and Lauren Hersey dig into the trends coming out of D23, from bag charms and high-end collectibles to the rise of "quiet luxury" fandom. They also look at the frustration surrounding supposedly special D23 merchandise appearing on DisneyStore.com almost immediately after the event. Then the conversation shifts to World Princess Week, where Disney is pushing its princess brands into fitness, jewelry, fashion, and other lifestyle categories aimed squarely at grown-up fans. NEWS • Disney's next limited-time pop-up store heads to Paramus, New Jersey, following the crowds and long lines seen in Pittsburgh. • Licensing industry observers see Disney moving beyond character T-shirts toward bag charms, premium collectibles, home decor, publishing, and understated "quiet luxury" merchandise. • Limited-edition D23 collectibles continue to command huge demand - and eye-popping prices on the secondary market. • Fans question the value of D23 merchandise access after many convention items appeared on DisneyStore.com just one day after the event. • Disney continues expanding major brand collaborations, with new collections tied to Vera Bradley, Loungefly, Crocs, ColourPop, Pandora, and more. • World Princess Week's "Create Your World" campaign pushes Disney Princess into lifestyle categories built around confidence, personal interests, and self-expression. • Disney partners with Peloton on a princess-inspired Pilates class while Crowned Athletics brings princess branding into fitness apparel. • Pandora expands the franchise into higher-end jewelry with a Disney Princess lab-grown diamond collection featuring Tiana, Jasmine, Moana, and Snow White. • Jim and Lauren look ahead to how projects including live-action Tangled and Frozen 3 could fuel the next wave of Disney Princess merchandise.

Welcome back to our REWIND series! Christi and Kelly are going back through the archive, re-editing, and re-uploading our old episodes — in order, from the very beginning of Dance Moms.In this throwback, they're joined by Dance Moms creator John Corella, who was there before the pyramid, before the blowups, and before anyone knew this little dance show from Pittsburgh was about to become a phenomenon.John explains why the original moms and girls worked so well on camera, why their real history mattered, and why the OG cast had something that could not just be manufactured later. It was messy, funny, emotional, competitive, and completely unpolished — which is exactly why it worked.Christi, Kelly, and John also look back on the early chaos of the show, the parts they still love, the parts that became painful, and why Dance Moms really was “lightning in a bottle.”We originally aired this episode back in 2022, but it's been re-edited specifically for YouTube!Grab your tickets to our LIVE TOUR!Connecticut (October 2): https://ridgefieldplayhouse.org/event/back-to-the-barre-ridgefield-ct-2026New York City (October 3): https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00006518C2C668A9Welcome to Back to the Barre, the ultimate podcast channel where Kelly Hyland and Christi Lukasiak from Dance Moms spill the tea, share the laughs, and take you behind the scenes of your favorite reality TV moments!

Pittsburgh is full of unwritten rules and weird quirks, like reserving your parking space with a rickety chair, taking a left turn the moment the light turns green, and holding a lifelong grudge against anyone who honks in the tunnels. If you're new to the city or just need a refresher on local etiquette, we're sharing some essential rules for surviving and thriving in Pittsburgh.

The Pirates let another winnable game slip away Wednesday night, falling 5-4 to the Giants in 10 innings. Alex Stumpf looks at Carmen Mlodzinski's three perfect innings, the decision to turn to Camilo Doval in extras and all of the smaller mistakes that helped sink Pittsburgh. With the Pirates now 68-72 and running out of time to make anything of their postseason hopes, Alex explains why this season hasn't been defined by one bad decision. It's been “a thousand little paper cuts” from a talented team that has continued to underachieve.

The Pirates had chance after chance to win this game and simply couldn't finish the job. Pittsburgh battled back from a 3-1 deficit to force extra innings, but a costly defensive mistake, another rough night with runners in scoring position and two Giants runs against Camilo Doval in the 10th proved too much in a 5-4 loss. Jim and Neil break down Bubba Chandler's start, the Pirates going 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position through nine innings, Oneil Cruz continuing to produce since returning from the IL, Carmen Mlodzinski throwing three perfect innings out of the bullpen and Don Kelly's decision to turn to Doval in the 10th.

Tyler Kennedy has high hopes for Sergei Murashov. Who are the Penguins' next stars? Mario Lemieux has sold his stake in the Penguins in the Hoffmann Family sale. Tyler thinks Lemieux and Burkle are taking a step back. TK wonders if the Hoffmann's realize how important Mario Lemieux is to the Penguins.

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK's son is becoming a good golfer and he is only seven. Joe and Bob talk about their golf trip at Fox Chapel. Penguins updates. Camp begins soon. 

The Patriots used reverse video boards at Gillette Stadium to try to distract kickers. It created an optical illusion of the wind blowing opposite of the actual uprights and was discovered by an Eagles strategy coach. Who should have a statue built? Joe doesn't like how the Franco statue is placed in the new PGH airport.

Does Jared Jones profile more as a closer than a starter? Joe is concerned that Austin may be right. The Pirates have had dream rotations that haven't panned out at all. Joe doesn't think we're going to see Skenes, Ashcraft, Jones, Chandler, and Hernandez all humming at the same time.

Ken and Anthony make their weekly swing around the division, checking in with Baltimore's Bob Haynie and Cincinnati's Mo Egger on where their teams really stand heading into Week 1. There's a top ten power ranking to unpack, a kicker battle worth watching, and a very different Joe Burrow than the one fans saw in December. Plus, the guys get called out on their own Browns coverage when a division rival makes the exact same roster move. And as usual, Pittsburgh's Andrew Fillipponi leaves them hanging.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down why the Rams may have officially broken the NFL's parity machine and whether the rest of the league is overthinking the most loaded roster in football. JT also explains why the Steelers don't have to give Joey Porter Jr. a massive extension, and why Pittsburgh should be willing to listen if a first-round pick enters the conversation. Has Cincinnati finally done enough around Joe Burrow for the pressure to shift onto him and Zac Taylor? Was Green Bay's playoff collapse against Chicago actually a warning sign for a much bigger Packers downfall? JT also makes the case for Dallas as the NFL's most underrated Super Bowl contender and examines whether Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and an improved Cowboys defense can finally change the postseason narrative. Plus, why the Falcons remain stuck in quarterback no man's land with Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa, and whether Matt Ryan's front office will eventually have to find Atlanta's true long-term answer. All that plus NFL playoff angles, coaching pressure, roster-building debates, quarterback questions, and Super Bowl contenders entering the 2026 NFL season.

If you're making a trip to Rivers Casino, it's probably not for the food, but City Cast Pittsburgh contributor and Post-Gazette dining critic Hal B. Klein argues there are some pretty tasty dishes there. He joins host Megan Harris to talk about a months-long challenge to eat at all the casino's restaurants, and he's sharing what each of them is best at, from legitimately great burgers and broccolini to confusingly terrible rice. **This episode originally aired February 25, 2026.

What the hell was that? The Pirates scored nine runs in the third inning, built an 11-5 lead, watched the Giants completely erase it and somehow still walked away with a 13-12 win at PNC Park. Tyler and Neil break down one of the wildest games of the season, including a rough night for Paul Skenes, Pittsburgh's ridiculous offensive explosion, another bullpen collapse and the bizarre ninth inning that finally ended it.

The Pirates somehow survived one of the wildest games of the season, beating the Giants 13-12 after scoring nine runs in an inning and later blowing a six-run lead. Alex Stumpf explains why, despite the win, Tuesday's game felt like a perfect representation of why the Pirates are barely hanging onto postseason hopes. Paul Skenes couldn't finish five innings, the pitching staff walked eight, the bullpen nearly gave the game away and Pittsburgh once again showed why it hasn't been able to put together a sustained run this season. Plus, Alex looks at the Pirates' 6-13 record over Skenes' last 19 starts and why a talented team has failed to turn that talent into meaningful October baseball.

Keith is the Fighting Spirit Honoree & Champion of Hope speaker at the Coaches vs. Cancer event next week. Keith coached LeBron James in high school. He knew that LeBron could be a pro during his freshman year and that he would never need to play in college during his sophomore year. He lives in Akron and still follows Duquesne basketball.

Joe blames Paul Skenes first and foremost for not being himself. Ben Cherington and the bullpen are second and the rest of the Pirates rotation is third as well. Matt blames the defense for not nearly being good enough. Bob thinks Skenes and Cherington are MAJOR reasons. The injuries are a big part of this, but every team suffers injuries. What will the team's roster look like next year?

Paul Skenes did not pitch well against the Giants and was pulled after 4.2 innings. Matt thought it was very notable the Pirates didn't allow Skenes to pitch out of a jam and earn the five innings needed to qualify for a win. Matt wouldn't have pulled Skenes and thinks he got pulled out because the Pirates have a pitch count on him. Skenes was pulled at 95 pitches. 

We hear what Joey Porter Jr. said about the contract talk process. Porter Jr. said the back is improving and why he was out, but we know it's because of his contract. Is it up to Porter Jr. or the Steelers to get the contract done?? Joey Porter Sr. has been helping his son through the negotiations and Joe thinks he is the wild card in this situation! 

The Pirates found a way to beat the Giants 13-12 after having a huge lead. Don Kelly pulled Paul Skenes after 4.2 innings and didn't give him another batter to qualify for the win. It became 12-12 and the bullpen blew it. Paul Skenes struggled once again. Mark Kaboly would shut him down. The Pirates are 41-31 when Oneil Cruz is in the lineup. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show.

Joey Porter Jr. spoke for the first time on Tuesday after being activated from the PUP list. Porter Jr. wants to sign for what he will be worth in the coming seasons. Mark says the back injury was mostly exaggerated. Broderick Jones thinks switching between left tackle and right tackle really hurt him in the pros.

Jason doesn't think the Pirates were making a point by taking out Paul Skenes with 4.2 innings and not let him pitch out of the fifth inning. Jason thinks the Pirates need to take 5/6 or sweep to actually be able to discuss a chance the Pirates could make the playoffs. Ryan O'Hearn could even return. Jason doesn't think that people should use injuries as an excuse for the fact the Pirates are below .500 and way out of the playoffs. 

Richard Sherman and Mitchell predict the AFC division winners for the 2026 NFL season, including the Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans. They also pick Wild Cards like the Broncos, Patriots, Jaguars, Chargers, and Bengals. They discuss if Drake Maye and the Patriots can reach the Super Bowl after adding A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs, whether Josh Allen and the Bills can reclaim the AFC East, and how Malik Willis might affect the Dolphins. The preview covers the AFC West, mentioning Patrick Mahomes’ health, the Chiefs’ addition of Kenneth Walker III, Bo Nix and the Broncos’ offense with Jaylen Waddle, Justin Herbert’s prospects with Mike McDaniel calling plays, and Fernando Mendoza’s potential for the Raiders. They debate Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, Aaron Rodgers’ reunion with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh, Joe Burrow’s chances with the Bengals, Shedeur Sanders with the Browns, C.J. Stroud and the Texans’ defense, Trevor Lawrence with the Jaguars, and AFC playoff contenders.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
