Is it just us, or is *everyone* talking about Heated Rivalry?! Well, hopefully it's not just us, because on this week's duo ep of the Legendary Ladies Podcast, Kat and Amy return to discuss the entire season of the hit HBO show. They chat about how the pacing of the show created a world where fans got just what they wanted, without there ever being a point of "too much of a good thing", how the characters evolved of the season, and what predictions they have for season two. They also discuss how uh, well, just like a lot of fans who had never really been a fan of the sport, they might like hockey now...

The series is beloved for redefining queer romance in the world of professional hockey. What began as a passion project quickly became a phenomenon, earning Rachel a devoted global fanbase and cementing Heated Rivalry as a modern romance classic.

She also talks about fandom culture, online communities, and the unexpected life-changing success of her books, as well as what it’s like to create characters that live far beyond the page.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk Podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor dive into the reality that the Cavs can no longer ignore when facing the Detroit Pistons. Following Cleveland's 114-110 loss in Detroit, they break down what's gone wrong, from the team's ongoing identity struggles to inconsistent defense, abysmal second-quarter stretches, and a bench hampered by injuries and constant lineup shifts. The conversation dives into the challenge of building a physical, defense-first mentality without the right personnel, and how Coach Kenny Atkinson is still tinkering to find solutions. With the Eastern Conference standings tightening, the hosts explore why the window for experimentation is closing and why the Cavs must confront these realities head-on if they hope to climb the playoff ladder.

Send us a textI'm back from a long break and what a phenomenal show and movie to come back to. I've certainly had a lot of experience with frenemies in my life, and participated in  perplexing, frustrating romances where I bickered, bantered and got annoyed regularly, yet couldn't stay away. These stories embody that frenemies to lovers trope perfectly, so if you crave delayed gratification, casual betrayals and slow burning, combustible intimacy that fixes it all in your romance, start streaming ASAP. CW: this episode is quite explicithttps://www.confessionsofaclosetromantic.comI hesitate to post this trailer because as usual, it doesn't begin to capture the tone and incendiary hotness of this fantastic series.The hockey romance series that started it all.Excellent interview with Connor Storrie & Hudson Williams with Carly Lane of Collider (a past guest on this show). "...it's kind of crazy to have to learn how to skate, play hockey, speak Russian and do the accent and you don't even know until a week before." If you are as shocked as I am that Connor Storrie did not actually grow up as a hockey playing Russian, here's an interview that explains how it all came about.To survive, they'll have to team up.

STRAIGHT GUYS REACT To This Heartfelt & Touching Premiere!! Heated Rivalry Full Reaction Watch Along: ⁠  / thereelrejects  ⁠ Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! ⁠https://shorturl.at/hekk2⁠ With Greg & John wrapped for the season, Aaron & Andrew take the ice to give their Heated Rivalry Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon react to Episodes 1 & 2 of Heated Rivalry, the Crave / HBO sports romance series adapted from Rachel Reid's bestselling novel. The premiere episodes set the foundation for the show's central tensions—rivalry, attraction, secrecy, and ambition—inside the high-pressure world of professional hockey. Episodes 1 and 2 introduce fierce on-ice rivals Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams – Bel-Air, Holly Hobbie), the disciplined Canadian golden boy, and Ilya Rosanov (Connor Storrie – Slasher, The Porter), the brash, unpredictable Russian superstar. Their first encounters establish a combustible mix of competition and undeniable chemistry that quickly blurs professional boundaries. As their rivalry intensifies across games, media attention, and locker-room encounters, both men begin navigating secret hookups that complicate their careers and personal identities. The opening episodes also begin expanding the series' emotional scope beyond Shane and Ilya. Scott Hunter (François Arnaud – Midnight, Texas, Blindspot) is positioned as the league's polished star and public ideal, while Kip (Robbie G.K. – Departure, Murdoch Mysteries) enters the story as an outsider whose presence will eventually challenge hockey's culture of silence. Together, these storylines establish Heated Rivalry as more than a romance—framing it as a character-driven exploration of masculinity, ambition, and what it costs to hide who you are. Highly discussed moments from the premiere include the charged first clashes between Shane and Ilya, the contrast between public bravado and private vulnerability, and the early signals that this rivalry is headed somewhere far more dangerous—and intimate—than either man expects.

STRAIGHT GUYS REACT To This Heartfelt & Touching Premiere!! Heated Rivalry Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With Greg & John wrapped for the season, Aaron & Andrew take the ice to give their Heated Rivalry Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon react to Episodes 1 & 2 of Heated Rivalry, the Crave / HBO sports romance series adapted from Rachel Reid's bestselling novel. The premiere episodes set the foundation for the show's central tensions—rivalry, attraction, secrecy, and ambition—inside the high-pressure world of professional hockey. Episodes 1 and 2 introduce fierce on-ice rivals Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams – Bel-Air, Holly Hobbie), the disciplined Canadian golden boy, and Ilya Rosanov (Connor Storrie – Slasher, The Porter), the brash, unpredictable Russian superstar. Their first encounters establish a combustible mix of competition and undeniable chemistry that quickly blurs professional boundaries. As their rivalry intensifies across games, media attention, and locker-room encounters, both men begin navigating secret hookups that complicate their careers and personal identities. The opening episodes also begin expanding the series' emotional scope beyond Shane and Ilya. Scott Hunter (François Arnaud – Midnight, Texas, Blindspot) is positioned as the league's polished star and public ideal, while Kip (Robbie G.K. – Departure, Murdoch Mysteries) enters the story as an outsider whose presence will eventually challenge hockey's culture of silence. Together, these storylines establish Heated Rivalry as more than a romance—framing it as a character-driven exploration of masculinity, ambition, and what it costs to hide who you are. Highly discussed moments from the premiere include the charged first clashes between Shane and Ilya, the contrast between public bravado and private vulnerability, and the early signals that this rivalry is headed somewhere far more dangerous—and intimate—than either man expects.

This week on Sinica, recorded at Yale University, I speak with Michael Brenes and Van Jackson, coauthors of The Rivalry Peril: How Great-Power Competition Threatens Peace and Weakens Democracy. Their argument is that framing the U.S.-China relationship as geopolitical rivalry has become more than just a foreign policy orientation — it's a domestic political project that reshapes budgets, norms, and coalitions in ways that actively harm American democracy and the American people. Rivalry narrows political possibility, makes dissent suspect, encourages neo-McCarthyism (the China Initiative, profiling of Chinese Americans), produces anti-AAPI hate, and redirects public investment away from social welfare and into defense spending through what they call "national security Keynesianism."Mike is interim director of the Brady Johnson Program in Grand Strategy at Yale, while Van is a senior lecturer in international relations at Victoria University of Wellington and host of the Un-Diplomatic Podcast. We discuss the genesis of their collaboration during the Biden administration, how they navigate China as a puzzle for the American left, canonical misrememberings of the Cold War that distort current China policy, the security dilemma feedback loop between Washington and Beijing, why defense-heavy stimulus is terrible at job creation, how rivalry politics weakens democracy, recent polling showing a shift toward engagement, and their vision for a "geopolitics of peace" anchored in Sino-U.S. détente 2.0.5:47 – The genesis of the book: recognizing Biden's Cold War liberalism 11:26 – How they approached writing together from different disciplinary homes 13:20 – Navigating China as a puzzle for the American left21:39 – How great power competition hardened from analytical framework into ideology 28:15 – Mike on two canonical misrememberings of the Cold War 33:18 – Van on the security dilemma and the nuclear feedback loop 39:55 – National security Keynesianism: why defense spending is bad at job creation 44:38 – How rivalry politics weakens democracy and securitizes dissent 48:09 – Building durable coalitions for restraint-oriented statecraft 51:27 – Has the post-COVID moral panic actually abated? 53:27 – The master narrative we need: a geopolitics of peace 55:29 – Associative balancing: achieving equilibrium through accommodation, not armsRecommendations:Van: The Long Twentieth Century by Giovanni Arrighi Mike: The World of the Cold War: 1945-1991 by Vladislav Zubok Kaiser: Pluribus (Apple TV series by Vince Gilligan)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Benjamin Rush was one of early America's most fascinating figures. He was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, a leading Philadelphia physician, and a thinker who believed that a healthy body was the foundation of a healthy republic. In this episode, historian Sarah Naramore, author of Benjamin Rush, Civic Health and Human Illness in the Early American Republic, introduces us to Rush as both doctor and political philosopher. We'll explore: How Rush developed an “American system” of medicine His groundbreaking ideas on mental health and addiction And why he believed the human body modeled the ideal form of government. Rush may be what Sarah calls a “B-list Founding Father,” but his influence on early American science, politics, and public health was anything but minor.

STALIN VS. TROTSKY AND THE LOGIC OF THE GREAT TERROR Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. The discussion turns to the rivalry between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. While Trotsky was an inflexible ideologue advocating for permanent revolution, Stalin was a "savvy political operator" willing to be ideologically flexible to consolidate power. The segment details the "Great Terror" of the 1930s, distinguishing it from previous violence by noting that Stalin targeted the Communist Party itself, including high-ranking officials and military marshals. McMeekin attributes this to the inherent logic of totalitarian regimes: as economic promises failed, the regime needed scapegoats—saboteurs and wreckers—to blame for the system's deficiencies. This self-cannibalizing violence culminated in the assassination of Trotsky in 1940, though the arrests and executions continued well beyond his death. NUMBER 4

THE COLD WAR TRAP AND GORBACHEV'S MISCALCULATION Colleague Professor Sean McMeekin. The timeline shifts to the Cold War rivalry, arguing that Soviet aggression was driven by a genuine belief—shared by the CIA—that their economic system would eventually outproduce the West. The invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 became a trap, as the US applied "hard power" and economic pressure that eventually bankrupted the Soviet state. The segment characterizes Mikhail Gorbachev not as a democrat, but as the "last true believer" in communism who attempted to "fix" the system through better planning. Gorbachev failed to understand that corruption and coercion were the only things holding the Soviet economy and empire together; by trying to remove them to reinvigorate the system, he inadvertently dismantled the regime. NUMBER 7
