The King in the North daalde af naar het Zuiden, per trein, vanzelfsprekend. Na zijn glansrijke overwinning in Makerfield en de aftocht van Keir Starmer lijkt Andy Burnham zeker van het premierschap. Connor en Lia bespreken het einde van het premierschap van Starmer, de reden achter de onverwacht grote overwinning van Burnham, diens kansen in 'number 10', zijn toekomstplannen en de link met Nederland: zijn vrouw! Lia zit in Montenegro, vandaar dat de aflevering niet altijd klinkt zoals je gewend bent. Over Van Bekhovens Britten In van Bekhovens Britten praten Lia van Bekhoven en Connor Clerx elke week over de grootste nieuwsonderwerpen en de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Van Brexit naar binnenlandse politiek, van de Royals tot de tabloids. Waarom fascineert het VK Nederlanders meer dan zo veel andere Europese landen? Welke rol speelt het vooralsnog Verenigd Koninkrijk in Europa, nu het woord Brexit uit het Britse leven lijkt verbannen, maar de gevolgen van de beslissing om uit de EU te stappen iedere dag duidelijker worden? De Britse monarchie, en daarmee de staat, staat voor grote veranderingen na de dood van Queen Elisabeth en de kroning van haar zoon Charles. De populariteit van het Koningshuis staat op een dieptepunt. Hoe verandert de Britse monarchie onder koning Charles, en welke gevolgen heeft dat voor de Gemenebest? In Van Bekhovens Britten analyseren Lia en Connor een Koninkrijk met tanende welvaart, invloed en macht. De Conservatieve Partij leverde veertien jaar op rij de premier, maar nu heeft Labour onder Keir Starmer de teugels in handen. Hoe ziet het VK er onder Keir Starmer uit? En hoe gaan de ‘gewone’ Britten, voor zover die bestaan, daar mee om? Al deze vragen en meer komen aan bod in Van Bekhovens Britten. Een kritische blik op het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het een race tussen Noord-Ierland en Schotland lijkt te worden wie zich het eerst af kan scheiden van het VK. Hoe lang blijft het Koninkrijk verenigd? Na ruim 45 jaar onder de Britten heeft Lia van Bekhoven een unieke kijk op het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Als inwoner, maar zeker geen anglofiel, heeft ze een scherpe blik op het nieuws, de politiek, de monarchie en het dagelijkse leven aan de overkant van de Noordzee.

   Josh Hawley just will not stop misleading voters about this SF Giants Pride Night story.  Hawley got a letter back from MLB commish Rob Manfred and immediately fibbed with a post about what the letter says.  It's unreal he's doing this.  Hawley was wrong, this was not an MLB issue.  It was a Giants issue and I'd be thrilled if he went on the attack and found out what the Giants did.  But baseball has done nothing wrong and actually has a fine policy in place.     A far left judge born in Trinidad and worked for Sonia Sotomayor is the latest to stop President Trump with a ruling.  This tiime, the court rules the government cannot use it's own data bases to verify is a person is a citizen or not and eligible to vote.  This is nuts.    A new AI generated song and video called "Keir Starmer is a wanker" has gone viral, we'll play it for you.  Vandals at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool are being detained.   In sports, Lionel Messi does it again for Argentina, this player is the best of all time.   OU was picked 14th in the SEC pre season baseball poll and wins the national title.  The SEC is officially now a baseball conference, not football.  A Golf Channel analyst calls Long Island golf fans a "stain on the game," and he's right.  The Royals get a great outing from Michael Wacha in a win over the Rays, a Sportscenter legend is retiring and an up and coming music star has been charged with a felony after destroying his hotel room.

   A couple months ago when UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wouldn't allow the United States to access England's military bases while attacking Iran, President Trump said Starmer is "not exactly Winston Churchill," and the trap was set.  Fast forward a couple months and Trump gets yet another win as Starmer has announced he's resigning after his Labour Party is just getting crushed at the polls.   JD Vance is leading the negotiations with Iran and it's off to a shaky start.  Shocker.    Dems are traveling to DC just for the purpose of having a chance to ruin the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that Trump fixed... .including an Olympic athlete that has been arrested.    The World Cup has been a smashing success for Team USA so far even as a former US Goalkeeper says we have zero chance to win the Cup.    Iran fans are now carrying in so many flags and signs against the regime that not even FIFA can keep up with confiscating it all.    And an American at the US Open Golf Championship, a former winner, is treated like total garbage by New York golf fans... they are just the worst.     Royals slugger Jac Caglianone is on quite a heater this month.    And our Final Final is the ultimate "The Honeymoon's Over" story for a sports reporter in Pittsburgh.

Jac Caglianone was moved into the number three spot in the lineup and he's proven ready for the challenge.  Is he ready to be a star? David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss Caglianone, the improved offense and all of the injuries. Is Jac Caglianone becoming a star? Have the Royals figured out the offense? Perez breaks the Royals Kauffman Stadium HR record. Why aren't the Royals using the IL more? Can it get any worse with the injuries? How have the call ups performed? Who should the Royals promote next? What to expect with Pick #6 in the Draft? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The guys shift to Baseball as Leabo is all set for Omaha, the guys also discuss the recent surge for the young stars for the Royals.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The World Cup is in ultra-high gear, and Kansas City and the USMNT are a big part of the story we dive into with Daniel Sperry from the KC Star combining high level analysis and plenty of smiles.

The Kansas City Royals are finally hitting the ball ... but now their pitching is hurt or terrible. That's the kind of season it has been. But we dive into the offensive breakout, discuss role players and potential superstars, and preview this week's road trip against the Rays and White Sox.

Catch up on all the news, notes, and highlights from around the Kansas City Royals organization from the 2026 season with play-by-play broadcasters Nick Badders (Omaha Storm Chasers), Shawn Murnin (Northwest Arkansas Naturals) and John Kocsis, Jr. (Columbia Fireflies).

George Brett spent 21 years with the Kansas City Royals and never played a single game for anyone else — which in today's era of free agency feels almost quaint. He's the only player in baseball history to win batting titles in three different decades ('76, '80, '90), hit .390 in 1980 — the closest anyone has come to .400 since Ted Williams — and finished with 3,154 career hits before a first-ballot Hall of Fame induction in 1999. Oh, and he led the Royals to their only World Series title in 1985. Not bad for a kid from Hermosa Beach, California. Of course, if you ask most casual fans what they remember, there's a decent chance they skip the batting titles and go straight to the Pine Tar Incident of 1983 — Brett homers off Goose Gossage, the umpire calls him out, and he comes flying out of the dugout in what remains one of the greatest displays of barely-contained human rage in sports history. Frank White had warned him it might be coming, and Brett told him "if they call me out, I'll kill one of those SOB's." Less than a second later he was being physically restrained from doing exactly that to 6'5 home plate umpire Tim McClelland. Back in June of 1976, though, Brett was just 23 years old on the cover of Sports Illustrated, already flashing the talent and competitiveness that would define his career — and Kansas City was clearly building something worth watching. On Past Our Prime, Brett takes us inside all of it — how his brother Ken made him believe a big league career was possible, how rivals like Schmidt, Reggie, and Goose became close friends after years of battles including a bench-clearing brawl with another pal, Graig Nettles of the Yankees, in the '77 ALCS, and why he's called Kansas City home ever since the Royals drafted him in 1971. A Hall of Famer in every sense — George Brett on the Past Our Prime podcast. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

KANSAS CITY -- When it comes to the fragile, fleeting nature of contention, is a bird in hand worth two birds on a bat? That's the question that baseball writer Derrick Goold asks in a brand new Best Podcast in Baseball. St. Louis Post-Dispatch editor and frequent podcast contributor Nathan Mills joins the podcast to discuss which direction the Cardinals are going with their pitching, their offense, and their plans for the upcoming trade deadline. Goold has traveled west to Kansas City, where the World Cup has come for some of its games and the Cardinals have arrived for the conclusion of the I-70 Series.  The Cardinals revitalized their lineup with recent moves. The bullpen is undergoing renovation. And all of that happens with the August trade deadline as a backdrop. The Cardinals have close to 40 games remaining before having to make a call on whether they'll be buyers, sellers, or neither at the deadline. A lot as it stake with their decision. A seller keeps them true their plan to accumulate young talent to contend at a later date. Neither chooses not commit. And both directions could lead to fan frustration as the club is trying to lure them back to the ballpark and get them to buy into a refreshed franchise. The podcast closes with a cautionary tale about contention, the potential of which played out for the Royals in the first game of this series and is another in a series of reminders for the Cardinals from their recent opponents -- all of whom have talked about identifying a window to contend, a window to spend to contend, a window when the talent would all come together for an extended run of success. And all of whom have had those plans derailed, unable to take a spark of contention and turn it into a campfire all because they were so convinced the could become a blowtorch able to light at will.

In its 14th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball has reached a new season-high with 30 episodes. Each episode is sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and lead baseball writer Derrick Goold.

Episode 249, FULL SHOW -- The Nationals continue to secure series wins, earning their 4th in a row despite not being able to complete the sweep this week versus the Kansas City Royals. Tobi Altizer & Grant Paulsen discuss how the Nationals can position themselves to be buyers at the trade deadline without completely putting the future of the organization at a disadvantage. Plus, Nasim Nuñez enjoyed a breakout series versus the Royals, and James Wood needs help to climb the ranks amongst Outfielders for the NL All-Star Team. Finally, we check-in on a couple of the rising names in the Minor League system this week and look ahead to a weekend series versus one of the AL's best teams in Tampa Bay.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, please visit our Patreon. Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley discuss the backlash to MLB’s initial statement about the Giants’ objectors to Pride Night, the league’s subsequent expanded statement, and the facts about the policies and punishments (or the lack thereof) pertaining to uniform alterations. Then (37:10) they banter about the Blue Jays’ ballot dominance in early All-Star voting, the history of teams being overrepresented on All-Star rosters, the Mariners’ piggyback pitching plan, and Curtis Washington Jr. as the ultimate phantom ballplayer, answer emails (1:19:28) about where the next two-way player might come from and whether Pete Crow-Armstrong’s defensive value is underrated, and Stat Blast (1:31:56) about where franchise scoring records tend to be set, the biggest run differentials in games with equivalent times on base, days when one team outscored many other teams combined, Boston’s lack of late comebacks, and teams whose win totals did or didn’t match their WAR totals.

Lazlo and Summer finally have air conditioning, and the guys are slowly getting used to the idea of Snap Specs. Kansas City is in the nation's news. Without social media, kids are probably just going to play Kick the Can. The guys debate the Iran peace deal, and talk to Josh Vernier on what the Royals rotation may look like in 2027. A teacher got caught having sex in the back of a car with a student; SlimFast is more shocked that she was a football coach.

   President Trump signed the memo that's that's a framework for a final deal with Iran and everyone seems to hate it.  But not me.  I can't say I love it but why would you not give it a try?  You can always go back to fighting... let's see if Iran is willing to follow some rules and play nice with others.     Republican primary voters continue to choose candidates from the business world as outsiders they want in charge... even when they go up against Trump endorsed candidates.  It seems we are ignoring Trump's advice while trying to find the next Trump.    Tom Brady is opening a store in KC Saturday and will likely be all over tv during the World Cup on Fox at the Power and Light District.    FIFA is just the worst.  The soccer has been great, the tourney is fun and FIFA is absolutely soul sucking.  We told you so two years ago.    The Royals welcome Team England to the K Thursday night as the Cardinals are in town.  St. Louis fans will get reminded, again, how much better of a sports city we are than them.  The US Open starts in New York as Scottie Scheffler tries for a career Grand Slam, the Knicks will be the first NBA team to visit Trump's White House and Jason Sudeikas suprise breakup with Olivia Wilde is revealed... by her.
