We're joined by JM Specht of the Devolver Forkcast and One Frog Games' Patrick Knisely this week to excitedly speculate on the suite of upcoming hardware from Valve. Between the Steam Controller, the Steam Machine, and the Steam Frame VR headset, there's a lot to cover in how it may shake up the console wars... particularly on the heels of recent remarks from Microsoft's Xbox management and their insistence that the next Xbox is akin to a premium PC. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the recent Super Mario Galaxy Movie direct, leaked set photos and official stills from the Legend of Zelda live action movie and LEGO sets, The 2025 Game Awards nominees being released and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

This week we're digging into the skills that used to define the studio, back when audio wasn't just about tools and tech but the craft behind the session itself. Punch-ins, drop-ins, reading along with yourself, directing talent, matching pitch on the fly, using feel instead of formulas… so much of this has disappeared from the modern workflow. Robbo, AP, George and Robert swap stories from the tape era, pick apart why many of these skills are fading, and talk about what VO talent and engineers can learn from the old way of doing things. From casting realities to coaching blind spots, and even how quickly a demo gets skipped in a session, it's equal parts fun and brutally honest. We also touch on Toby Ricketts' blog on breath control and unseen punctuation https://www.tobyrickettsvoiceover.com/blog/unseen-punctuation-how-breath-control-engages-eardrums Thanks to our sponsors TriBooth and Austrian Audio.

Spain are going to the World Cup! It has always seemed like a formality, but Luis de la Fuente's side officially secured their spot with a draw in their final qualifier against Turkey. Before focusing on Tuesday's game, Ben Sully (@SullyBen) and Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) kick off the podcast by focusing on Spain's commanding 4-0 away win over Georgia on Saturday. After winning their first five qualifiers by a combined 19-0 scoreline, Spain would have been hoping to secure qualification with a win in their home game against Turkey. We delve into the 2-2 draw before rounding off part one by focusing on Spain's striker situation and Dani Olmo's status in the squad.In part two, we reflect on a positive 2025 for La Roja and look ahead to next year's tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada, discussing whether Spain have what it takes to add another star to their jersey. Away from international matters, Barcelona are finally set to return to their redeveloped Camp Nou home while Levante and Valencia are preparing to lock horns in a highly anticipated derby fixture.Remember, you can access all of our written and audio content over at lllonline.substack.com.

Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins the show to talk college football The Georgia Bulldogs dominated the Texas Longhorns 35-10 in Austin Saturday night. Georgia Football continues their stranglehold on Texas Football and keeps their hopes alive of playing in Atlanta and getting a first round bye. Texas now must beat Texas A&M on Black Friday to have any shot at a Playoff spot. The Ole Miss Rebels had a fight from the Florida Gators but held on to win 34-24. The win likely locks Ole Miss Football into a Playoff spot. Florida Football is eliminated from bowl eligibility with the loss. Today's College Football Spotlight: CFB Stock Report!

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The Steelers have not been able to figure out their quarterback situation since Ben Roethlisberger retired. Mason Rudolph has been given opportunities. Ja'Marr Chase spit on Jalen Ramsey and Ramsey responded by throwing a punch at Chase. Joey Porter Jr. and James Pierre did a really good job covering Chase and Tee Higgins. We think Ja'Marr Chase should be suspended for a game. Chase said he didn't spit but there is video proof.

BHLet's clean up all the "tough stains"!

Xbox's big bet for bringing PCs to the living room has officially been undercut. This week, Valve announced three (!) different pieces of hardware. First, there is the Steam Machine, which serves as the strongest competitor to consoles. While still very much a PC, the Steam Machine packs a lot of punch for a small device and could be a force if priced well. Second, a brand new VR headset in the Steam Frame. Despite Meta having massive first-party support, Valve has decided to challenge a space that many of us thought was finished growing. Third, and finally, is a Steam Controller. It's horrendous looking and makes the Duke look ergonomic. How does Valve's aggressive hardware plans disrupt Xbox and does any lingering appeal for the PC in the living room by Xbox remain? The Dukes unite and dive straight in.

Minnesota loss exposes offensive slide The Detroit Lions walked into Minnesota and left with a gut punch. A divisional loss. A game that slipped because the offense never found its level. The Detroit Lions Podcast broke down why. Detroit punted five times, turned it over once, and handed back a takeaway after Terrion Arnold's first career interception. Amon-Ra St. Brown said the room has moved on. It still stings. The Vikings scored 27, but the focus stayed on Detroit's offense. Outside of the Kansas City game, the defense has mostly held up its end. This was about execution, rhythm, and answers that never came. Protection math and third down failure Minnesota dictated terms. Blitzes. Stunts. Pressure from depth and width. Detroit's protection rules could not keep up, and the Vikings kept forcing Jameer Gibbs into pass protection. He lost too often. He could not anchor against those looks, and the Lions repeated the exposure. On film, the structure often broke the same way. Left tackle Taylor Decker and left guard Christian Mahogany passing off to one defender. Right tackle Penei Sewell and right guard Tate Ratledge fanning wide. The edge looks widened. The interior squeeze vanished. The free rusher met Gibbs. Jared Goff saw bodies in his lap. That distortion bled into third down. Detroit is converting about 37 percent, 37 of 102, tied with Tampa Bay. Last season, the Lions lived near 47 percent. Ben Johnson is gone. John Morton is calling it now. The sequencing and solutions are not landing on money downs. Play calls asked backs to protect instead of punish. Hot answers were late. The pocket location felt static. That is how an NFL offense with St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery punts five times in a winnable game. Defense held up; special teams did not The defense was not perfect. The Vikings ran the ball with success, and JJ McCarthy's touchdown to Justin Jefferson was a perfect throw and a better catch. Yet individual efforts flashed. Jack Campbell played fast and urgent. Derek Barnes filled downhill. Arnold competed well. Amik held Jefferson under 50 yards despite the score. The bigger leak came on special teams. Kick returns flipped field position. Punt returns stung. A missed kick and coverage busts stacked stress on a struggling offense. That is a tough parlay to overcome on the road. Week 10 vs. Commanders: fixes on deck Washington is next in Week 10. The mandate is clear. Protect Goff with different answers. Keep Gibbs out of solo pass pro against overloads. Use chips and condensed splits to alter edges. Build more quick game on early downs to avoid third-and-long. Lean on tempo to blunt pressure tells. Let Montgomery set tone without the ball on the ground after his fumble. If the Detroit Lions clean the protection math and regain third down timing, the offense will look like itself again. If not, the same issues will follow them into another Sunday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

BH. Fix the world.... and don't look back!

Heir of Fire (Ch. 8–13): Maeve's power games, Rowan's brutal training, wyverns on the horizon, and restraint as craft and character engine. Book Talk for BookTok with Jac & Amy treats your favorite BookTok novels, romance and romantasy, like literature. We bring real tools of analysis (themes, imagery, symbolism, character arcs) through two lenses: Feminist (gender roles, power, agency, archetypes) and Marxist (class, labor, capital, institutions). Same rigor as a lit class, more jokes, less homework. Season format & spoiler policy: Two episodes weekly: Tuesday = Analysis • Thursday = Listener Thoughts on Breadcrumbs & Broomsticks. Spoilers: Today covers Heir of Fire Ch. 8–13 with context from earlier books. Anything beyond these chapters (or other SJM works) is saved for Thursday. Chapters covered: 8–13 Episode summary: Celaena stands before Queen Maeve and finds herself small in the shadow of ancient Fae power. Branded “half-breed” and ordered to master her fire or be discarded, she's thrust into a punishing training pact with Rowan Whitethorn—a partnership born of resentment, sharpened by pride, and, yes, sealed with a well-aimed punch. In Rifthold, Chaol hunts leverage on Aedion Ashryver as Dorian drifts toward quiet refuge with Sorscha. In the mountains, Manon Blackbeak and the Thirteen stalk toward wyverns and the skies that might remake their power. As Celaena's fire stirs, so does the darkness she's tried to bury—testing the line between discipline and self-destruction. This week's guiding question:What role does restraint play in Heir of Fire—both in Celaena's suppressed power and in SJM's narrative pacing—and how does that tension drive reader anticipation?

Welcome back to The Lobby Bar! This week, the box office is buzzing with two colossal new releases, and we're mixing up a big batch of the aptly named Pink Punch to celebrate!First up, we dive into the latest sci-fi thriller from director Yorgos Lanthimos, Bugonia! Emma Stone stars as a high-powered CEO kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists convinced she's an alien.
