Bruce S. Allardice joins us this week to discuss the Chicago White Sox in the years immediately after the Black Sox scandal that tainted the 1919 World Series. Allardice is the author of After the Black Sox: The Chicago White Sox in Transition, 1920-1926 (McFarland Press 2026). The discussion covers the World Series scandal, the players involved, the "Clean Sox" - players like Dickie Kerr and Eddie Collins that were not involved in the fix, and the White Sox in the years that follow the team being decimated by the lifetime suspensions.Bruce S.

Most motion designers add sound design at the very end of a project. But Joe Basile, aka The Chicken, says it should start at the very beginning. And once you hear why, the sequencing is hard to unsee.In this episode of the Styleframe Saturdays podcast, we sit down with award-winning sound designer and composer Joe Basile to explore what happens when audio and motion design collide from the very beginning of a project. Joe breaks down and reveals the sonic philosophy behind his Favorite Mix, including a technique borrowed directly from The Shawshank Redemption to transition music from non-diegetic to diegetic sound.From finding rhythm hidden inside an animation before a single note is played, to knowing exactly when to bring a sound designer into the room, this conversation will shift how you hear your own work.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 – Intro0:37 – Meet Joe Basile: The Chicken16:25 – Original Music vs. Sound Design vs. Sonic Branding21:52 – The Favorite Mix: Crack by Johan Eriksson23:55 – The Shawshank Technique: Diegetic vs. Non-diegetic Music28:53 – How the Attention Economy is Changing Audio Storytelling37:50 – When Should You Bring Sound Design into a Project?40:14 – The "Demo Love" Trap Explained43:23 – Pareidolia: Finding Rhythm Inside Animation53:54 – The Noise Experiment That Won a Motion Award57:03 – Challenges & Rewards58:43 – Favorite Mix Because…CONNECT & FOLLOW:Spotify → https://spoti.fi/3K8UDd7Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/styleframe-saturdays/id1607658120Amazon Music → https://amzn.in/d/0cziMYRNGUEST LINKS/RESOURCES:Joe Basile's Website: https://www.thechicken.net/Cool Edit Pro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_AuditionWestern Carolina University: https://www.wcu.edu/Antfood: https://www.antfood.com/Source Connect: https://www.source-elements.com/products/source-connect/Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiA“Crack” by Johan Eriksson: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiAThe Shawshank Redemption: https://johaneriksson.co/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnZzqyQomWzFCGInTeGkPJXMyxvK1dW26vWkVEuKsbTS4TNliMfUxpr1jxcvE_aem_FABFZpaZ4jop-TJJ4FmaiASteve Reich: https://stevereich.com/“It's Gonna Rain” (1965) by Steve Reich: https://stevereich.com/composition/its-gonna-rain/Hannah Churn: https://www.hannahchurn.com/Todd Churn: https://toddchurn.com/“Night Lights” by Hannah & Todd Churn: https://nightlights.tv/“The Breakout” by Mantas GR: https://mantasgr.com/the-breakoutAdobe Photoshop: https://photoshop.adobe.com/?promoid=HHJ4XB3V&mv=other&mv2=ahome&lang=enAdobe After Effects: https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html*Riverside: https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=styleframesatLofi Cassette by Harrison Amer (theme music licensed by Premiumbeat.com, https://www.premiumbeat.com/home)Permissions granted by the artist(s).Our podcast celebrates Motion Ideation — the raw brainstorming, early-stage thinking and lightbulb moments that shape everything before a single design or keyframe exists.

Between players jumping contracts and entangling themselves in gambling scandals; the lack of a clear, consistent enforcement authority and conference (league) realignments, one could easily confuse current state of the NCAA with the chaotic state of 19th Century baseball.This week, John T. Fortunato joins us to make sense of college sports today. Fortunato is a professor of communications and media management at Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business. His research interests include sports, broadcasting & communication and public relations. He comments on a wide range of topics, including name, image & likeness; the Brendan Sorsby and Darian Mensah controversies, the increasingly toothless NCAA enforcement arm, and whether or not Congress has the power to bring order to the anarchy. Professor Fortunato at FordhamJohn Fortunato, An Ethical Application to Student-Athlete Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), Journal of Intercollegiate Sport.Errata: The University of Houston played Idaho, not an Ivy League school, in March Madness's first round in 2026 - you'd think a "basketball junkie" would remember that.

Chapter 1 - Paul Hofmann, Ph.D., Associate Provost for International Affairs at the University of Louisville and Society for American Baseball Research member, joins us this week to discuss Charlie Ferguson, a forgotten 19th Century baseball star. Ferguson played four seasons in his early 20s with the Philadelphia Quakers (now, Phillies) in the National League and by 1887, Ferguson's final season, he emerged as a rising two-way star, excelling both at the plate (.337 average) and on the mound (99 wins over 4 seasons). Ferguson died from typhoid fever in April 1888 after a month-long battle with the illness. He had turned 25 years old just two weeks prior. Ferguson was regarded at the time and for many years after as one of the greatest players in baseball history.Chapter 2 - Another gambling scandal, only not in professional baseball."Charlie Ferguson," by Paul Hofmann, at https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/Charlie-Ferguson/ (accessed June 9, 2026).Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if available), through our store at Bookshop.org.

Our guest for Chapter 1 is John McMurray, chair of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)'s Deadball Era Research Committee. His essay, "September 1, 1906: A Pivotal Game Early in the Deadball Era," appeared in the Committee's newsletter, "The Inside Game," earlier this year. The game between the Philadelphia A's and the home team Boston Americans (now Red Sox) lasted 24 innings with the A's winning 4-1. The game featured many deadball era baseball features including speed, defense, strategy, moving the runners, crowd participation and heroic pitching with each starter pitching complete games in this marathon contest. McMurray paints a vivid picture of deadball era baseball at the turn of the last century by walking us through this amazing ballgame. In Chapter 2, Craig and Rex discuss blue dot fever that is causing artists in the pop music business to cancel shows and entire tours this summer.Join the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) here:https://sabr.org/communityThis is a cbc.com story on the Live Nation Lawsuit discussed in Chapter Two:https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/live-nation-executive-exclusive-9.7191295Episodes featured: 220 - In an Instant It Was All Gone: The Ray Chapman Story w/ Scott H.

The A's won 4 AL pennants and 3 World Series titles from 1910 to 1914.

This week Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail examines the role of motivation in the artist's life. First, he argues why you should stop listening to motivational speakers, successul celebrities, and social media gurus about motivation. Next, he explains how he's baked his artistic practice into his daily life thus removing the need to stay constantly motivated. Then he argues the artist examine their relationship with competition, and find a more sustainable fuel for the creative engine. And, finally, he discusses the ultimate motivating force, how artists are like explorers attempting to better comprehend the splendor of the real world. Follow on social media @WorkOfWrestling.

Warning: This episode contains descriptions of thoughts of suicide. Why is WrestleMania the perfect name for...well...WrestleMania? Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail answers that question as only he can, with a moving story about his second manic-depressive episode in the Fall of 2020.  Tim's story reveals the unvarnished reality of clinical mania, how his enthusiasm for life felt like a psychedelic high, why he became obsessed with ancient religions, and what led to this shorter, milder experience of psychosis. If you are in need of emotional support call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Music provided by Premium Beat.  

For the first time in eleven years Work Of Wrestling host Tim Kail will not be watching or reviewing WrestleMania. In this special bonus edition of the podcast he explaines why, in detail. He also examines the divisive nature of WWE's business practices, how the company has transformed into a boutique tourist trap, and the destructive role social media plays in nudging us toward political and philosophical polarization.

If you've ever wondered whether AI will take over motion design or replace motion designers, you're not alone. Generative AI tools can transform the industry, but perhaps not as you expect.In today's episode, we sit down with motion designer and Creative Director Billy Woodward to cut through the noise. We discuss the tools, and bigger questions around creativity, authorship, and originality, as well as what this evolving technology really means for creatives.This conversation could easily become its own series—we barely scratched the surface. But whether you're excited, concerned, or somewhere in between, Billy shares thoughtful insights from someone actively experimenting at the intersection of art and AI, and we hope you enjoy his perspective.Our podcast celebrates Motion Ideation—the raw brainstorming, early-stage thinking and lightbulb moments that shape everything before a single design or keyframe exists.

Our guest this episode is Thomas W. Gilbert. His new book, "Death in the Strike Zone: The Mystery of America's First Baseball Hero" (David R. Godine, 2026), is the story of James Creighton, a young pitcher who pitched for amateur clubs in Brooklyn and is credited for inventing modern pitching. Gilbert's book is not only about Creighton's exploits on the field, but about the life and times of baseball in its earliest years - before the Civil War, before industrialization and before the game was played by professionals. Creighton died in October 1862 at age 21.Thomas W. Gilbert's website - howbaseballhappened.com.Death in the Strike Zone, publisher's site (https://tinyurl.com/hooks032526)In this episode we mentioned our Episode 238 - Artie Shaw's Nightmare: The Big Band Sound Goes to War w/ Michael Doyle.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

On July 10, 1932, after playing 3 double headers in 3 days, Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's faced the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland's League Park. Craziness ensued. The game and players set records that have never been, and are unlikely to be, broken or even approached. This is the story of that game.We discuss our sources after the outro music.Errata: The opening game at Cleveland Stadium was July 31, 1932, not July 21st. Connie Mack was ejected from one game as manager - September 6, 1895, at the Polo Grounds in New York, while manager for the Pittsburgh Pirates.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.
