In this podcast episode, host Sana Wynd shares her insights on the dynamics between two hockey stars navigating their careers and a secret romance. With a blend of humor and heartfelt reflection, this discussion explores the challenges of masculinity, emotional vulnerability, and the beauty of love in its many forms.Main Content: 1. Setting the Scene Sana opens with a light-hearted greeting, sharing her recent battle with the flu, which prevented her from recording on the anticipated "Manic Mondays."

She emphasizes the unique character traits of both men, highlighting Shane's dry humor and Ilya's captivating Russian accent, which adds depth to their interactions.3.

She praises the show for allowing its characters to display vulnerability, noting how Ilya's emotional breakdown in front of Shane is a poignant moment that defies traditional masculine norms. This exploration of emotional depth adds layers to their relationship, showcasing how love can foster personal growth and understanding.5. Cultural Commentary Sana also touches on broader societal issues, mentioning how toxic masculinity has historically hindered men's emotional expression. She relates this to her observations of men discussing relationships and emotional struggles, emphasizing the need for open dialogue and acceptance among men. By showcasing two hockey players in love, "Heated Rivals" challenges stereotypes and encourages a more compassionate view of masculinity.Conclusion: In conclusion, "Heated Rivals" transcends the typical sports romance by delving into the complexities of love, rivalry, and masculinity. Through the experiences of Shane and Ilya, viewers are offered a refreshing perspective on emotional honesty and the importance of vulnerability in relationships.

It's a tale as old as time: two young men in love with the same girl. Tom Allen lived on the farm next to the Lockhart place and spent much of his spare time courting Laura Lockhart, even though he was quite a bit older. But Allen had two obstacles. He often got drunk, which did not appeal to Laura. And he had a rival: Brownie Emery. Emery was closer to Laura's age, she seemed more attracted to him, and, unlike Allen, he never arrived at the Lockhart home drunk.

Meghan Markle is back in the satirical firing line as Spitting Image mocks her As Ever marmalade as “woke,” with a Paddington-style bear warning she is “on my turf now.” Meanwhile, mixed reporting fuels the usual “are they going back” drama: one set of sources claims Meghan would only consider a UK return “for the right price,” while Rob Shuter insists she has “zero intention” of moving the children back across the Atlantic. Megyn Kelly piles on with fresh criticism of the Sussexes' post-royal branding, as commentators debate whether their Hollywood clout is fading. After the break, Queen Camilla faces a Christmas without both of her children this year, continues her long-running Buckingham Palace tree-decorating tradition for seriously ill children, and admits binge-watching Rivals helped her recover from pneumonia. Plus, new photos from Clarence House offer a rare look at the King's private world, including a prominently placed picture of Charles holding Prince George at his christening—and a reminder of how distant he remains from Archie and Lilibet.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

The result said “win”. The conversation said something else entirely.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the lads use Arsenal's narrow victory over Wolves as a springboard to address deeper issues that have been building beneath the surface. Rather than focusing on the match itself, the discussion centres on selection decisions, misaligned roles, and why performances are starting to feel disconnected from standards.There's an honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversation about trust within the XI, why certain profiles aren't fitting the games they're being picked for, and how old habits — late-game retreat, lack of control, and reliance on fine margins — appear to be creeping back in.With pressure increasing at the top of the table, the episode questions whether Arsenal are managing rhythm, load, and structure effectively, and what needs to change quickly to prevent results masking performance issues.Also discussed:• Selection fit versus opposition• Midfield balance and tempo problems• Confidence, trust, and responsibility within the squad• Whip Around the Grounds and title-race context• Takahiro Tomiyasu's move to Ajax• Squad depth, injuries, and AFCON implicationsA reflective, standards-led episode focused on why this win felt wrong — and what Arsenal must correct to realign performances with expectations.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:11) – Expectations vs Reality: Wolves at Home(02:37) – Team Selection Under the Microscope(08:15) – Gyökeres Debate: Trust, Confidence & Role(23:15) – Eze, Martinelli & Misfit Roles(29:00) – Merino's Usage and Tempo Concerns(31:46) – Old Habits Creeping Back(37:44) – Match Stats(38:15) – The Positives(41:15) – Part Two: Time Off for the Squad(44:06) – January Window & Defensive Depth Worries(48:00) – Whip Around the Grounds(54:56) – Title Race Context & Rivals' Results(58:26) – Newcastle, Spurs, Relegation & Emile Smith Rowe(01:02:49) – Tomiyasu to Ajax(01:05:28) – AFCON, Asian Cup & Fixture Disruption

On Talking Royals this week, Charlene White is joined by our Royal Editor Chris Ship, Royal Expert Lizzie Robinson, and social media Royal Commentator Amanda Matta. They discuss the King's rare and deeply personal message as part of this year's Stand Up To Cancer campaign - as he continues to recover from his own cancer diagnosis. In his biggest update yet, he revealed his treatment will continue - but it will be reduced in 2026. He said: "Today I am able to share with you the good news that thanks to early diagnosis, effective intervention and adherence to ‘doctors' orders', my own schedule of cancer treatment can be reduced in the New Year," Charles said in his video message. "This milestone is both a personal blessing and a testimony to the remarkable advances that have been made in cancer care in recent years." Also on this week's Talking Royals: Prince Harry's security arrangements will be reassessed in a move that could pave the way for him to bring his family to the UK on future visits. Could Charles soon be seeing more of his grandchildren? A letter from Meghan to her estranged father Thomas Markle as he heals from a recent leg amputation. We look at rare footage of a baby Prince William taking his first steps in front of cameras, alongside Diana and Charles. And we go inside the Queen's visit to the set of one of her favourite shows - Rivals - based on the novel by her late, great friend, Dame Jilly Cooper.
SpaceX Dominance and the Golden Dome Defense Project: Colleague Bob Zimmerman highlights SpaceX's dominance with record-breaking booster reuse and launch frequency compared to rivals, discussing the secretive "Golden Dome" defense project, defects on the Orion capsule's hatch threatening the Artemis mission, and Airbus surprisingly choosing a Chinese satellite constellation for in-flight internet.
While collecting the Rivals Editions, a Hasbro game called Pictureka came up. Turns out, this 2006 game by designers Glenn D'Hondt, Arne Lauwers, and Sylvia Meert, two of which also did the artwork, fits the profile of what I am researching. It has multiple versions, including a card game, a Kube game (not dice), and even a few Intellectual Properties thrown in for good measure.What struck me was, I had never heard of this game, and it is almost 20 years old, and I did not recognize the box art once I looked into it.In Pictureka, you and your opponents race to find things in the very busy tiles that make up the board. The game's tagline is: Find it Fast! Find it First! I procured both the original game and the Rivals Edition, to see what I had been missing.Directing people to the get the games tab
You might know the star of Rivals for his revealing role in the hit Disney+ show, but did you know about his dramatic allium allergy?! I thought not. Alex Hassell might be best known for his portrayal of the dashing bounder, Rupert Campbell-Black in the Emmy-Award winning TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper's Rivals but his career spans the Royal Shakespeare Company, a leading role opposite Anya Taylor-Joy in The Miniaturist, HBO's His Dark Materials and co-founding the pioneering Factory Theatre Company. In this conversation, Alex reflects on the role therapy and his marriage have played in weathering early-career rejection. We talk about his struggle with self-confidence, his unlikely 'failure' to get into trouble and the rebellious streak that defined his youth - including that time he took acid at Alton Towers. Plus: having to spray tan his own private parts.
