If you like Heated Rivalry – if you don't, you're the only one, but anyway – if you like Heated Rivalry and want more queer romance but wish it had more wine, we've got the books for you. This week's conversation is features queer romance at the 2025 Portland Book Festival, with authors Jasmine Guillory, Adib Khorram, and moderator Anita Kelly. Jasmine Guillory is the New York Times bestselling author of  Drunk on Love, The Wedding Date, and The Proposal. A frequent contributor to The Today Show, she was at the festival for her first queer romance, Flirting Lessons. Adib Khorram is the author of I'll Have What He's Having and YA novel Darius The Great Is Not Okay. He serves on the board of directors for Authors Against Book Bans. He was at the festival for his adult romance book is It Had To Be Him. The event is moderated by Portland author Anita Kelly, author of How You Get The Girl and Donut Summer. Both books, Flirting Lessons and It Had To Be Him, involve escape – to Napa and to Milan, respectively – and the authors talk about the arduous research process of drinking a lot of wine. Jasmine speaks about writing a book as a way to learn about something she's curious about – in her case the wine business and living in what is thought of as a tourist town, like Napa. And Adib describes a rosé-fueled semi-spontaneous trip to Italy for eight weeks, and how the pursuit of joy inspired his process. Romance is hot right now, and the conversation is very fun, but a heads up that it is a spicy conversation! There are a few bleeps, and portions might not for all ages or all ears. The episode includes content that might not be suitable for all audiences – and it’s unbleeped! Listener discretion is advised. Jasmine Guillory is a New York Times bestselling author.

He grew up in Kansas City—the Milan of the Midwest—but he'd rather be in the real thing, sitting on a patio, enjoying an aperitivo. Originally from a small town in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, Anita Kelly now lives in the Pacific Northwest with their family. An educator by day, they write romance that celebrates queer love in all its infinite possibilities. They hope you get to pet a dog today

In addition to his success on the open-wheel ladder, he also scored multiple wins and poles while competing in the highly competitive DTM championship from 2013-2017.

The dust has settled on the greatest NASCAR Cup season in history, and it's time to recap all that we've learned about 1979. Dale Earnhardt Jr. invites some of the guests from BECOMING EARNHARDT for a roundtable discussion to recount all that we've learned and conclude some of our favorite characters ' stories. Dale's aunts, Cathy Watkins and Kaye Snipes, as well as Osterlund Racing crew member Doug Richert, return as first-hand character witnesses who helped bring the story of 1979 to life.The chat once again sets the dial back to the beginning of 1979 and views Dale Earnhardt through the eyes of his family, as he's getting ready to embark on the biggest opportunity in his young racing career. It also dissects complicated characters like Jake Elder and the team dynamic at Osterlund Racing. They dive into the significance of the NASCAR Cup Rookie of the Year in 1979 and just how close things got in the race between Dale and Joe Millikan. Finally, some new details are revealed about the severity of Dale's injury at Pocono and his lengthy hospital stay and time out of the driver's seat.FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

It's June of 1979 and 28-year-old Dale Earnhardt is feeling as confident as ever. With a notch in the win column and top five finishes in the last three races, the rookie seems to have found his place amongst the stock car racing elite. As episode five of Becoming Earnhardt opens, the NASCAR Cup circuit travels to the Lone Star State to take on the daunting Texas World Speedway. Dale would once again race his way into the spotlight, nipping at the heels of eventual race winner Darrell Waltrip before a mechanical failure sent him into the wall and made him settle for a 12th-place finish. But the impressive showing had Ol' DW once again admitting in victory lane, “when all the seasoned veterans retire, it'll be Dale Earnhardt I'll have to contend with.”It's during this episode that the NASCAR garage gets its first glimpse at the on-track aggression that would eventually become “The Intimidator”. In a late race hustle at Michigan International, Dale makes a daring move that sends many top contenders scrambling, bringing about the ire of the very drivers who had been singing his praises. And while this constructive feedback from his mentors may have had him reconsidering his standing in the Cup ranks, it didn't seem to slow him down any. As the Cup schedule hits the Poconos and Dale takes on the Tricky Triangle for the first time in his career, he is dealt a turn of events that will leave his dreams of being a NASCAR Champion in doubt. FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

It was a rookie season of the ages, until it wasn't. A cut tire and Pocono's unforgiving steel boiler-plate walls left Dale Earnhardt with two broken collarbones and an open-ended timeframe for recovery. The NASCAR Cup circuit would then roll on as he began to mend in an East Stroudsburg, PA hospital. The progress he made in the stock car ranks and his grip on the 1979 Rookie of the Year award would be tested as his closest competitors in the freshman race would continue onward. Even worse, his own ride and future could be in jeopardy, as the Osterlund Racing team makes a call to one of the greatest drivers in history to fill-in during the interim. On this episode of Becoming Earnhardt, our exploration of the 1979 NASCAR Cup season unpacks races 20 through 24. Our main character will wrestle with watching from the sidelines as his blue and yellow number-2 gets driven by a NASCAR legend at some of his favorite tracks. The Cup contingent returns to Talladega, Michigan, Bristol and Darlington. When the Osterlund crew finds victory lane without him, Dale makes a miraculous return to the driver's seat, defying his doctors, the press and the rest of the NASCAR garage.FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

New recommendations from a CDC advisory committee to give the first dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine to infants no earlier than 2 months old is upending standard medical practices. Pediatricians here in Pennsylvania say this could undo decades of progress in preventing the disease in young kids.

This week on With Bowl and Spoon, Shelly sits down with Helena Shorter Alston, founder of Kia Vida Superfoods—a woman whose life has been steeped in food from the very beginning. Born into a family rooted in cooking, farming, and restaurant ownership, Helena was said to be cooking by age two! By 23 she had opened her first restaurant in the Poconos, driven by a simple belief that healthy food should taste good. Her lineage also carries a powerful legacy: her great-grandfather purchased 600 acres in Mississippi where he grew vegetables, raised animals, and gave food away to anyone who needed it.Helena's relationship with food only deepened as she moved through the world. While serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal, she encountered Kinkeliba—a traditional West African plant that made such an impression that it later became part of her product line (once it became legal to sell in the U.S.). She went on to explore food science and technology, raise a family, travel widely, and even help feed students after school in Pittsburgh Public Schools. When her husband passed away from diabetes, Helena transformed her grief into purpose, moving her children to Europe to research food, develop recipes, and work on products aimed at preventing diabetes in her family and beyond.Today, Helena splits her time between Pittsburgh and Florida and leads Kia Vida Superfoods, crafting additive-free, nutrient-dense dehydrated meal kits and teas inspired by every chapter of her life. She's a cook, a scientist, an educator, and an adventurer whose greatest joy is hearing from people who feel better because of what she makes.Learn more at kiavidasuperfoods.com or KiaVidaFNS.com.

Merry Christmas from Citizen McCain. Meghan and Miranda were supposed to have Congressman George Santos, but when he tapped out sick, friend of the show Ryan Girdusky swooped in to save the day. The three dive into Tyra Banks' unhinged Santa ice cream performance in Australia, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's matching neon Chrome Hearts looks, Jen Shah's early prison release, and why "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" might be the best reality show on TV right now, with detours into "Sister Wives," "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," and who actually cashes in on long running shows. Then they pivot to airports and politics, roasting Sean Duffy's "pull ups at the gate" idea, griping about airport inflation and $27 ice cream, and breaking down Trump's Poconos rally comments about prices "coming down," Miami's surprising mayoral result, housing and crime, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski rumors, and chatter about Kash Patel (potentially) getting fired, and RFK Jr's possible prenatal health push. Meghan also talks through her looming maternity leave, why nothing fits except giant turtlenecks, the latest Douchebag and Darling of the Week, and why the Diddy documentary is so dark they have to save the full review for Monday.

Trump kicks off his "Affordability Messaging" tour and spends most of his time at the podium complaining about immigrants and replaying his old hits but with much less energy and way fewer people in the audience. Independent journalist, Kalena Thomhave joins Sam to discuss her piece in Capital & Main titled, Home Care Workers Are Losing Minimum Wage Protections — and Fighting Back. Senator Bernie Sanders joins Sam and Emma for a conversation about wealth inequality and his book, Fight Oligarchy. In the Fun Half: CNN interviews Caleb Ragland, a soybean farmer relays the dire economic disaster that American farmers are facing under Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Trump announces a $12 billion bailout for farmers, funded by tariff taxes paid by Americans — a package that will almost certainly end up lining the pockets of Monsanto executives and similar agribusiness giants.

From the pencil rant to the choreographed “Lower Prices, Higher Paychecks” signs behind him, the spectacle contrasts sharply with rising bankruptcies, soaring debt, shaky consumer confidence, and signs of a coming electoral backlash. This breakdown cuts through the spin, the slogans, and the stagecraft to look at what's actually happening—and why even some conservative voices are sounding the alarm.

President Trump's ambitious “Big Beautiful Bill” aims to boost Americans' finances by introducing significant tax cuts. As part of a nationwide push for affordability, Trump is visiting the Poconos today to kick off a campaign rally focused on easing financial burdens for citizens. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. The political landscape is heating up as Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman announces his gubernatorial bid, setting up a potential contest with U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik. O'Reilly weighs in on whether Blakeman's alliance with Trump could impact his chances in the 2026 race. Affordability has emerged as a pivotal issue for the GOP in the midterms, prompting President Trump to focus on economic concerns by launching campaign rallies nationwide, beginning today in Pennsylvania. As Americans grapple with rising prices, the GOP's prospects may hinge on delivering tangible improvements. Mark discusses the ongoing bidding war between Paramount and Netflix for the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., sharing his belief that Paramount will ultimately emerge victorious. He also comments on the increasing challenges President Trump faces from left-wing judges and criticizes the Senate tradition of the blue slip, echoing the President's view that it's an outdated and ineffective practice. Mark interviews Sal Scognamillo from Patsy's Italian Restaurant in New York City. In honor of Frank Sinatra's birthday week, they reminisce about Sinatra's deep love for Patsy's, share stories about his favorite meal, and reflect on the statue dedicated to him in the restaurant.

In this powerful episode of Gangland Wire, retired Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins sits down with Tegan Broadwater, a former Fort Worth Police officer, musician, and undercover operative whose story reads like a movie script. Broadwater takes listeners on a riveting journey from his early years as a professional musician to his dramatic turn infiltrating one of America's most dangerous street gangs—the Crips. Drawing from his book Life in the Fishbowl, he details how music, culture, and human connection became unexpected tools for survival and success inside the underworld. Listeners will hear: How Tegan Broadwater transitioned from touring musician to undercover police officer, bringing creativity and adaptability to the streets. The story of his two-year infiltration into the Crips—posing as a South Texas drug dealer with the help of a trusted informant. His insights into gang hierarchy, loyalty, and manipulation, and how understanding culture was key to earning trust. The moral challenges of living undercover—forming friendships with men he would eventually arrest. The emotional impact of a major gang raid that ended with over 50 arrests, and how it changed his outlook on justice and humanity. His decision to donate proceeds from his book to the children of incarcerated parents aims to break the cycle of violence. He continues to share lessons on leadership, empathy, and cultural understanding through his private security firm and new podcast projects.   Broadwater's story isn't just about crime and undercover operations—it's about identity, compassion, and the human cost of violence. This episode offers a rare look at what it means to live behind a mask while still holding onto one's purpose.

As the founder of Pocono Mountain Maple, a 450-acre certified organic maple farm located in the heart of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, Nicole has always had a deep appreciation for nature. Under her direction, the farm produces Pocono Maple Water, a naturally hydrating, subtly sweet water tapped fresh each spring from organic maple trees.  In addition to its flagship product, the property also offers the region's only exclusive family nature retreat, blending wellness, sustainability, and outdoor connection in one unique destination.   A Pocono native, Bentler returned to the region after more than a decade working in the health and wellness space. Driven by a vision to revive and reimagine a historic maple farm, she transformed it into a source of both nourishment and nature-based experience. Her work with traditional syrup and sap led to the discovery of maple water's deeper potential—a rare, mineral-rich drink high in manganese that reflects the purity of its origins.
