Why is Heated Rivalry resonating so deeply across audiences? Besties Stacy and Daynah are joined by Stacy's queer bestie and work wife Lauren to unpack the cultural obsession with this breakout hockey romance that has taken over the internet. What looks like a steamy rivals-to-lovers story opens into a much bigger conversation about tender masculinity, explicit consent, queer joy, and why this kind of representation feels radically different from most romance on screen. The episode also examines allyship, supportive parents, chosen family, and what it means to love queer media at a moment when LGBTQ+ communities face growing backlash. This is a thoughtful, funny, and deeply human conversation about why Heated Rivalry isn't just popular — it matters. Listener Note: This episode includes spoilers for Heated Rivalry and frank discussion of sexuality, intimacy, and queer relationships.

North Carolina vs Duke. The best rivalry in the sport, in all sports.

Editors - Arthur Tarnowski ACE, CCE and Véronique Barbe CCE After years of working in different cutting rooms across Montreal, Heated Rivalry editors Arthur Tarnowski and Véronique Barbe are finally skating on the same line for showrunner Jacob Tierney. But bringing the "spicy" subject matter of Rachel Reid's book series to tv audiences would be no small feat. It required the editors to find the right balance of tension, chemistry and character within and around the steamy sexual encounters of the shows main characters. Heated Rivalry follows the lives of two budding hockey superstars, Canadian Shane Hollander and Russian Ilya Rozanov. Before becoming pro hockey players, the two meet as competitors at an international hockey competition. Six months later they would be drafted by two rival teams, the Montreal Metros and the Boston Raiders. Although their on-ice rivalry is amplified by media coverage and public perception, the two develop a private, initially casual sexual relationship that continues intermittently over several years as they pursue their hockey careers. Keeping this relationship hidden from the world is a challenge greater than either would ever have on the ice. ARTHUR TARNOWSKI ACE, CCE Arthur Tarnowski is an award-winning editor who grew up loving James Bond and Ingmar Bergman films (thank you PBS). Editor of over 40 features, in both English and French, his eclectic filmography encompasses everything from broad comedies like the Canadian box-office hits Father and Guns 2 and Compulsive Liar to auteur cinema like Drunken Birds (Canada's Academy Awards submission, 2022), Kidnapping Inc.(Sundance 2024; Haiti's Academy Awards submission, 2026), Irena's Vow (TIFF 2023) and The Hummingbird Project(TIFF 2018). He also enjoys cutting action pictures such as Deadfall (Tribeca 2013), Brick Mansions and The Decline. His television work includes The Sticky, DMV, 19-2, Bad Blood, Being Human, The Art of More, and The Moody's. He has also created trailers for over 150 films. His most recent project, Heated Rivalry—a Crave/HBO series created with frequent collaborator writer-director Jacob Tierney—has become a global television phenomenon. VÉRONIQUE BARBE CCE Aside from her work on Heated Rivalry, Vero's credits include HBO's Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects, both directed by Jean‑Marc Vallée — a cherished creative partner and mentor whose impact continues to guide her work. She has edited TV series and films across Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and has earned nominations from the Emmys, ACE, CCE, and CSA.

Valenti and Rico hear from a few of the people about the importance of the Michigan-MSU basketball rivalry.
Mike and Rico began the second hour with their thoughts on the importance of MSU-Michigan tonight and whether people will still be as invested in the rivalry as they have before college basketball was "ruined". They reminisced about moments from old matchups and took a bunch of your calls on tonight's game.
On the latest episode of Steady Droppin Dimes, Sam Webb, Tyrone Wheatley, and Daniel Horton debate Sam's inclusion of Trey Burke among the three greatest Michigan basketball players of all time. The conversation then turns to Michigan's recent win against Nebraska, where the crew praises defensive improvements in the second half and Trey McKenney's contributions off the bench, but also notes issues with guard play and the need to get Yaxel Lendeborg performing at an elite offensive level. Next, the crew discusses which Big Ten program poses the biggest threat to Michigan winning the conference, profiling Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska, and Michigan State as potential challengers. Finally, the show wraps up with Michigan vs Michigan State rivalry stories from each member of the crew.

A year into Hollywood's heralded vibe shift, as major production companies in the US have increasingly catered to broader or more conservative tastes, a gay Canadian hockey romance was not an obvious choice to become a hit. On this week's Mixed Signals, Ben and Max bring on Bell Media CEO Sean Cohan to unpack the success of Heated Rivalry and explain how it became an overnight cultural sensation. Cohan also talks about Bell's strategy of using licensing deals to reach new audiences, the enduring power of a well-told romance, and why Canadian storytelling is only getting started on the global stage.
In this episode of The Lo Life, Lo dives into the cultural phenomenon that is Heated Rivalry and why this breakout series is resonating far beyond the LGBTQ+ community. This isn't just a Season 1 recap; it's a sharp, layered breakdown of the show's emotional core, aesthetic choices, character dynamics, the plot and the deeper themes that make the story universal.Lo explores how Heated Rivalry succeeds not because it's a “gay story,” but because it's a love story rooted in longing, identity, pride, fear, and vulnerability, feelings everyone understands, regardless of orientation. Through humor and personal reflection, Lo connects the show's emotional tension to his own upbringing and love life. He speaks candidly about growing up in a household that celebrated individuality, self-expression, and being unapologetically yourself. This is a recap, a cultural conversation, and a reminder that the best stories don't divide us, they reveal what we share.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Donny discusses the concept of branding as it applies to various aspects of society, including politics, immigration, consumer confidence, and media representation. He highlights the impact of ICE on immigrant communities, the shifting public opinion on immigration policies, and the importance of global protests for human rights. The conversation also touches on the current state of consumer confidence and crime rates, the Oscars and Hollywood's influence, music's cultural impact, LGBTQ+ representation in media, and controversies surrounding sports figures like Bill Belichick. Takeaways The impact of ICE on immigrant communities is profound and troubling. Public opinion is shifting against harsh immigration policies. Global protests highlight the need for human rights awareness. Consumer confidence is at a low, affecting economic outlook. Crime rates are decreasing, contrary to political narratives. Hollywood continues to shape cultural conversations through awards. Music can serve as a source of comfort during political turmoil. LGBTQ+ representation in media is crucial for visibility. Sports figures face scrutiny and controversy in public perception. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Welcome back, WIFs! In this cozy and emotionally rich episode, sisters Lauren and Michelle settle in with oat milk cortados and reflect on what they're caring less about lately—overcommitting, anxiety-fueled overthinking, and saying yes when the bandwidth just isn't there. After a comforting catch-up filled with cozy gatherings, board nights with friends, and the joy of simply being together, the conversation turns to the episode's Hot Topic: Heated Rivalry.Lauren and Michelle unpack why this steamy, deeply emotional story stirred up all the feelings—from themes of love, longing, secrecy, and vulnerability to the unexpected release of crying over something beautiful instead of heavy. They reflect on how art and storytelling can crack us open in the best way, why letting yourself feel deeply can be healing, and how caring less sometimes means allowing yourself to feel more. Along the way, they share what they're reading, watching, and listening to, and wrap up with Simple Joys rooted in food, family, and tenderness.

“Heated Rivalry,” a low-budget Canadian series that began streaming on HBO Max late last year, quickly made the leap from unexpected word-of-mouth success to full-blown cultural phenomenon. The show, which follows a pair of professional hockey players who fall for each other, has been name-checked by everyone from the N.H.L. commissioner to Zohran Mamdani; its two young leads, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, just served as Olympic torch-bearers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz unpack “Heated Rivalry” 's appeal, considering its embrace of earnestness and its place in a broader lineage of stories about gay love. The way the protagonists are forced to hide their relationship recalls dramas set in earlier eras, from E. M. Forster's “Maurice” to Annie Proulx's “Brokeback Mountain”—but the function of the closet in art is ever-evolving. The hosts also discuss “Pillion,” a new film starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, which features parents who are supportive of their son's gayness but in the dark about his life as a sub. “It's interesting, these contemporary stories where gay relationships are, in the larger culture, totally accepted—and that there are sort of closets within closets,” Cunningham says. “There's a deeper place that others cannot go.”See Critics at Large live: the hosts will be discussing “Wuthering Heights” onstage at the 92nd Street Y on February 19th.

They have been moms for one quarter of that time and it shows. How do they cope? They laugh about all of the craziness that comes with being a mom and they want you to laugh about it too! From snot to stretchmarks to sleepless nights, Kristin and Jen know firsthand that parenting is a hard job and they invite you to join them in taking it all a little less seriously (even if for a few short minutes a day). After all, Jen currently has four days of dry shampoo in her hair and Kristin's keys are still in her front door. They try, they fail, they support each other, and they mom as hard as they can.Disclaimer: This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
