Ken Carman and Anthony Lima go Around The AFC North ahead of Week 15 of the NFL season, with special guests Bob Haynie (105.7 The Fan, Baltimore), Mo Egger (ESPN 1530, Cincinnati) and 'Donny Football' Chedrick (93.7 The Fan, Pittsburgh).

We're down to two episodes left on the year, and the show voted as the #2 Pearl Jam show of the year comes to you from their first night in Pittsburgh. It had been 12 years since they last appeared in the Steel City, and the anticipation for these shows was high due to it being the final stops. What we didn't know then is that there would be more of a finality to these shows than we would've wanted as these will go down as the final shows of Matt Cameron's 27 year tenure with the band. As Ed would say at this show, it was about to be the end of an era, but we all thought that it was just the Dark Matter era that was coming to a close... While we'll get into hints of Cameron's departure in this episode, the talking points center more around storytelling. We've invite Jeremy Rasmussen onto the show to talk about his travels on this tour through the lens of his taco truck called Taco Jam! Taco Jam became a massive hit as Jeremy drove around from venue to venue with the idea in mind to cook delicious tacos for all of the fans hanging out in merch lines, GA or at pre-parties. He'll share stories of mishaps on the road and how he got engrained into our community meeting dozens of wonderful new friends, including us. We'll also invite another guest on as Noa Shaindlinger will join us to discuss her moment when she requested Grievance thanks to Ed selecting her at this show. We'll talk about the Hand Trilogy, Bruce Springsteen and Binaural's 25th anniversary in the penultimate episode of the year!

Pittsburgh Public Schools spent two years and a quarter million dollars on a plan to save money and make the district more equitable — only for the school board to reject it in the 11th hour. The controversial plan would've closed and consolidated a bunch of schools and made other dramatic changes to address declining enrollment, a growing deficit, and student achievement gaps, but many worried it was happening on a rushed timeline. Now the district is back to the drawing board and considering a tax increase. Host Megan Harris is with James Fogarty, executive director of A+ Schools, to explain what happened, what comes next, and why the fate of our local schools should matter to everyone who lives here. Want to learn more about the district, including its bright spots and successes? Read A+ Schools' latest report on PPS.

What does it mean that God takes on human flesh?In our Nicene Creed series we're tackling these next lines:Lines: Through him all things were made.    For us and for our salvation        he came down from heaven:And we're talking with dear friend, mentor, and fellow church planter Rev. Lisa Yebuah, the lead pastor of Southeast Raleigh Table. We tackle the myths around the human body being a divine problem, what it means for our God to suffer and live as one of us, and why the incarnation has a robust meaning in our current political, spiritual, and theological landscape. More about our guest, Rev. Lisa:Reverend Lisa Yebuah currently serves as the Lead Pastor of the Southeast Raleigh Table, a United Methodist worshipping community located near downtown Raleigh. She's a 1999 graduate of Wofford College and a 2004 graduate of Duke University Divinity School. What fuels her life in ministry is seeing people become their whole selves, and in turn, witnessing people live like and believe that the world can be collectively marked by liberation. Reverend Yebuah is deeply invested in her local community, and works alongside organizations engaged in advocacy for affordable housing, a living wage, access to mental wellness resources, and equity in public education. Most would describe Lisa as a glutton for joy, a lover of people and the enneagram, a self-professed party-starter, and a biscuit connoisseur. She also admits to having a slight obsession with “Abbott Elementary” and “The Office,” and hopes that one day 90's R&B becomes required listening.+++Like what you hear?

The December 8, 1975 issue of Sports Illustrated had Texas A&M star back Bubba Bean on the cover because the Aggies were 10-0 after they beat the Longhorns. But the SI curse would get the better of A & M as the win over UT was their last of the season, as they lost to Arkansas and USC to close out the season. Another football team was also streaking… this one the NFL's Baltimore Colts who after a 1-4 start were in the midst of a 9-game winning streak led by young QB Bert Jones. The good news is that run got them into the playoffs. The bad news… it was in Pittsburgh. And the Steelers took care of business en route to their 2nd straight Super Bowl title. Pittsburgh writer Jim O'Brien has written over 30 books in his Pittsburgh Proud series many featuring the Steelers dynasty that began in 1974 and continued through the end of the decade. Franco Harris, Andy Russell, Rocky Bleier, Jack Lambert and more often were the subjects of O'Brien's writings and he knows that team as well as anyone. But Jim isn't relegated to just football. The founding editor of Street and Smith's Basketball Yearbook in 1970, O'Brien is an expert on hoops from half a century ago as well and he covered ‘em all… Dr. J and George McGinnis, the Squires and the Spirits, the ABA and the NBA… He tells us that Dr. J was better off the court than he was on it… how he cornered Franco Harris on a flight for 12 hours, interviewing him for most of the trip, and how the owners of the Spirits of St. Louis engineered the greatest business deal in the history of sports… and the key to the deal was that they would no longer exist. If you're looking for a 70's hoops expert, O'Brien is your man… add his expertise when it comes to that Steelers Dynasty of the 70's and he's the perfect guest for this week's Past Our Prime show.  Download and listen to wherever you get your podcasts… I'm looking at you, Uzbekistan!

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.

In this episode, Rob & DT discuss how our Bills can finally beat the Cincinnati Bengals led by their elite QB, Joe Burrow, who seems to always have the answers for McD's defenses.How will this game script go after how well the BIlls ran the ball against Pittsburgh last week? Can we just feed Jimbo all day long to victory? Or will the passing attack need to keep up with Burrow?Rob stands by his stance last week that the AFC is wide open with no true team to "fear". Does DT agree?Finally, the Bills and Darius Slay seem to be at an impasse.

Congratulations to the Indiana Hoosiers, the champs of the Big 10. It's no joke, for the first time in over 50 years, they beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, 13-10. The rise of the Hoosiers is just remarkable. Goodbye Alabama, BYU, and Duke. At least Duke can call themselves a champion without going to the playoffs, with five losses, make it make sense! FIRE MIKE TOMLIN? What the hell is Pittsburgh thinking? We have to say goodbye to Elden Campbell, a great Laker, who left us this week. Thank you for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will be back next week with Episode 297.

The Point dove into one of the busiest stretches of Pirates news we've seen in years, and the panel did not hold back. Jim welcomed Josh Booth, Jason Mackey, Tyler, and Neil to break down the blockbuster trade that sent Johan Oviedo to Boston in exchange for “The Password” himself, Jhostynxon Garcia. The crew debated whether Garcia can truly solve Pittsburgh's left-field problem, how his power and defensive versatility fit long-term, and whether his swing-and-miss profile should worry fans. From there, the conversation shifted to the upcoming Winter Meetings, where each panelist picked their No. 1 target—ranging from Kyle Schwarber to Brandon Lowe to Eugenio Suárez to Steven Kwan—and explained why that move could reshape the 2026 roster.

Dec. 5 – Ep. 82: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark get right into the biggest topic of the week, and that's the future of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Do we agree with the calls to fire him, and is there an alternate path forward where he remains the coach with hope for a better future? Next, we discuss the state of the Steelers' offense and whether or not it is fixable. We discuss Pat Freiermuth continuing to be an afterthought and the addition of Adam Thielen, and whether he can make a real impact. For the last topic, we preview the Steelers' matchup against the Ravens and lay out what's at stake for both teams in this game. We also discuss how there couldn't be a worse setup to try to overcome the rushing performance the Ravens had against the Steelers in the playoffs last year. To end the show, we answer a listener question about play-action passing, and why it's not working in Pittsburgh.

The Esplanade development finally broke ground in Chateau, after nearly a decade of planning, which means we're one step closer to a permanent Ferris Wheel on the North Side. Plus, there are fresh hopes and dreams for Station Square now that a new developer is taking over. Host Megan Harris, executive producer Mallory Falk, and producer Sophia Lo discuss what they'd like to see on the riverfront site, why alcohol sales are dipping in PA (and why Pennsylvanians can't get enough of Fireball and pink lemonade vodka), and why you'll soon see driverless taxis cruising down city streets.

Post-Gazette insider Jason Mackey and host King Jemison recap a wild Penguins win in Tampa Bay on Thursday night and discuss Erik Karlsson's major turnaround this season. Jason and King start off by discussing the play of Tristan Jarry, who made 37 saves and likely stole the Penguins a win after their all-around lackluster performance. Is this version of Jarry here to stay? Is the kid line featuring Ben Kindel and Ville Koivunen here to stay, too, after both scored against Tampa Bay? And despite the win, what warning signs were present throughout the game for Pittsburgh? They then get into Erik Karlsson's improved play this season. What's behind it? Was he just not the right fit with Mike Sullivan? What has Dan Muse done to bring out this new, improved version of the defenseman? Is he more engaged, with a notable improvement in his positioning and puck control? What do the stats and metrics say? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pirates have made their first major move of the offseason, acquiring top-100 prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and pitching prospect Jesus Travieso from the Red Sox for right-hander Johan Oviedo, catching prospect Adonys Guzman and left-hander Tyler Samaniego. Pirates insider Colin Beazley analyzes the move with Noah Hiles and look at where Garcia might fit in best. Could he be an opening day outfielder? And does trading Oviedo mean anything about the future of Mitch Keller? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to Episode #98 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture. In this inspiring episode, Geoff Webster, Chair of the Pittsburgh Futures Collaborative, and Ken Segel explore what it takes to create healthier, safer, and more thriving communities. Geoff shares how his public-health roots and community work taught him that real change begins when leaders challenge themselves, step into uncomfortable spaces, and keep learning. He highlights the transformational gun-violence reduction effort in Pittsburgh—where a neighborhood once experiencing around 35 non-fatal shootings a year saw that number drop to just 4. Geoff calls it some of the most powerful work he's been part of, proving that what once seemed impossible becomes achievable when communities come together with courage and conviction. Throughout the conversation, Geoff and Ken emphasize visionary leadership, systems thinking, and the belief that people thrive when they're supported to grow. The conversation underscores how data, collaboration, and consistent leadership practices can drive meaningful progress in communities.

Michigan State University has received a historic $401 million commitment from Greg and Dawn Williams. Made through the university's “Uncommon Will, Far Better World” campaign and in support of MSU Athletics' FOR SPARTA initiative, this is the largest single commitment in the history of MSU and one of the largest single amounts in college athletics history. Their generosity will dramatically transform Spartan Athletics and fuel academic excellence across multiple disciplines, reinforcing MSU's mission to empower students and serve communities across Michigan and beyond.Here is the December 5, 2025, event and press conference announcing the gift.(0:00) – Remarks from MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz (introduced by Matt Larson)(7:01) – Remarks from MSU Vice President for University Advancement Kim Tobin(9:43) – Remarks from MSU Athletic Director J Batt(14:25) - Remarks from Spartans Basketball Coach Tom Izzo(29:33) – Remarks from Greg WilliamsQuestions from the media(47:02) – When and what made you fall in love with MSU, Greg?(49:02) – Greg, can you give us the timeline of making the decision to make this gift?(50:38) – For Greg and Kevin, how did your Pittsburgh backgrounds play into your relationship?(53:26) – How do you want this gift to be commemorated, Greg, and how is Izzo on a lawn mower?(54:58) – For Kevin, how do you decide how to allocate these funds?(56:45) – For J, before and after this gift, where is does this gift put MSU in the landscape of private giving?(57:45) – For J, how much of the gift is going toward upgrades to facilities? Event Transcript:Matt Larson (00:00):Good morning and welcome to a truly historic day for Michigan State University and Spartan Athletics. Please welcome to the stage President Guskiewicz.Kevin Guskiewicz (00:18):Good morning. Good morning and thank you all for joining us here in the Breslin Center. This is the site of so many Spartan triumphs from epic basketball games to joyful graduation ceremonies, and today is a historic day for Michigan State University. It's one of those moments in the life of a university when the horizon suddenly opens wider. As a proudly public leading global research institution, Michigan State is defined not only by our proud legacy and what we've inherited, but by what we dream and build for our future together as one team. When we launched our $4 billion Uncommon Will Far Better World campaign earlier this year, we did something bold. We said out loud that Michigan State was ready to take on the toughest challenges of our time and that we were going to seek what it takes to do it. Facing tough challenges is what we do.(01:30):We are built for this from preparing students for the careers of the 21st century perhaps for jobs and careers that don't even yet exist today to squaring off against complex problems like cancer and the impact of climate change on global food security. These are the challenges that can only be addressed as a team by committed people willing to step in, roll up their sleeves and work together. Greg and Dawn Williams, in fact were one of the first couples that my wife Amy and I met after having accepted the opportunity to become Michigan State University's 22nd president about two years ago. They welcomed us warmly and we appreciate all that they have done for Michigan State University and for the surrounding communities and for us personally. Thank you. Their personal belief in this campaign in the possibilities for Michigan State University has been unwavering. From day one, they saw a vision, a university that leans forward, that pushes boundaries, that meets students where they are and takes them farther than they thought ever possible. That generates ideas that shift industries strengthens communities and shapes lives, and Dawn and Greg have done more, and we are here today to acknowledge and celebrate their vision and their generosity. Today I am proud to announce Michigan State's largest private financial commitment ever. Greg and Dawn Williams are committing $401 million to Michigan State University.(03:35):This is a gift and an investment that will shape the future of our athletic and academic programs for generations to come. Not only is it the largest in our university history, it is one of the largest to any athletic program in the nation and one of the largest to any university in the nation. It reflects Greg and Dawn's belief in what Michigan State stands for, opportunity grit and a shared responsibility to lift one another. And I'm so excited to share this milestone with them. It's not often that we get to celebrate something of this magnitude, something that will support students, faculty, staff, and students, student athletes for generations to come. This gift impacts many areas at Michigan State University and it sets a great example for other donors and supporters that you can be engaged in so many different ways to support Michigan State University, giving sure, but also by being engaged, whether it's partnering with us to set up internships or speaking to classes or serving as a mentor to those coming up behind you.(04:49):It's all connected. It all makes a difference. The Williams' commitment also represents Spartans' deep rooted spirit of bold innovation. Michigan State was founded as the trailblazing Land Grant College based on the insight that knowledge can change everything, that access matters, that impact matters, that progress should be shared. Greg and Dawn embody that same engaged innovating drive. This partnership feels so natural to us because MSU and the Williams family share a worldview that the future isn't something we wait for. It's something we create and that's something that we've talked about. On many occasions, their investment will propel us forward in ways that will echo across generations. Empowering student athletes who dream of excellence, fueling innovation and entrepreneurship and strengthening the traditions that unite our Spartan community more than a commitment is a vote of confidence in who we are and who we aspire to become. To Greg, to Dawn, and to your family, thank you for choosing to write this next chapter with us.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock breaks down rumors swirling about Mike Tomlin's career ending in Pittsburgh and how Tomlin is on a long list of bubble-wrapped black sports media messiahs who can't be criticized, much as Barack Obama can do no wrong.
