And now your hosts.  Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall. I’m here with Matthew Stead, Rosemary Barnes and Yolanda Padron. And the UK is really gearing up for offshore wind and they’re making some really smart moves and. One of them is, uh, the change in tariffs. So the British offshore wind manufacturers have been fighting really an uphill battle for a long time and for years. The companies that build turbines and components in the UK have faced import tariffs on the materials needed most, which tends to be steels like steel. Uh, cables, specialized parts from overseas all carried a tariff with it. Well, now the federal government has acted to [00:01:00] remove those tariffs on offshore wind equipment. The move is expected to save UK manufacturers tens of millions of pounds every year. And for an industry trying to cut costs and scale up that kind of relief could make the difference between winning. Losing contracts, and I’m surprised the UK has waited this long and I think other countries have the same problem. Obviously the US is taring the heck out of everything at the minute, but uh, a lot of European countries do put tariffs on the raw materials and the components that are used to make wind turbines. That’s not a smart long term move if you’re trying to deploy. Gigawatts of offshore wind.  Matthew Stead: Well, I, I think, uh, the recent events in the world show that energy security and not importing energy is a wonderful thing. And so this completely aligns with that, um, that objective. So I think that’s why we all agree with you, Alan. Allen Hall: Well do, is there a, a. A threshold here where other countries start to do it [00:02:00] and for whatever reason there’s, there’s tends to be tariffs on energy in all forms of it. Right. And there and on steel in particular, that seems to be a big area of concern. Are we gonna start to see some of those come down just to lower the cost of wind turbines and to deploy the middle of the water? ’cause there is a lot of steel in an offshore wind turbine.  Matthew Stead: It’s been like China. I mean China has, you know, a lot of clean energy, low cost energy and it is to their advantage. So I, I think it’s a entirely logical approach and I would’ve thought it’s, if you’re a good on policy, you would definitely be looking at this. Allen Hall: Is this has been a concern of the UK steel industry, which has been diminishing over the years? Uh, so it’s always been a pain point with the uk. They’ve been trying to stand up their own steel industry and forever they had a big steel industry In the uk you think of all the. The steel that was built from late 18 hundreds all the way up to the 1980s and nineties. Uh, but it does sound like you, you gotta pick and choose your battles here. And maybe the UK has [00:03:00] finally said, okay, the, the steel battle is a separate issue within offshore wind, and maybe we gotta do something different.  Matthew Stead: I mean, I think Australia did the same thing ages ago. I mean, we had a car, car industry and you know, we just didn’t have the scale. So, you know, Australia’s picking its battles and um, yeah, I mean, you can’t be good at everything, so you know why not. Uh, get the, the lower cost energy and um, deal with it that way.  Rosemary Barnes: Australia has actually just announced, you know how Australia’s got the policy to support clean energy technology manufacturing in Australia. And they started with, um, solar panels and then they’ve also got something related to battery cells. Well, they just announced wind turbine tower manufacturing, um, which is very simple. The reason why Australia doesn’t have, um, wind turbine tower manufacturing anymore. Is just because we can’t compete on price with Asia, um, in general and China specifically. It’s interesting now to be like, okay, let’s support Australian [00:04:00]manufacturing of wind turbine towers when like there’s no technological barrier. It’s pure cost, cost issues. I would really love to see the Australian government supporting some of the new manufacturing methods and you know, like we’ve seen that Fortescue has invested in. Um, in Ena Lift, the Spanish, Spanish company, um, ESCU has, has bought their tower manufacturing. Um, it’s, it’s like modular, advanced thing that’s gonna work well for remote areas. Otherwise it’s just like, pay a bunch of money so that we can make towers more expensively, but we can sell them at a competitive rate with the Chinese. And I don’t know, to me that’s not very strategic. I always prefer we support the next, the next thing.  Allen Hall: Whatever happened to spiral welding and making towers on site. I think that died about a year or two ago because they were trying it here in the United States and about building ’em at the wind farm. But it sounded like just setting it up to [00:05:00] build the spiral mechanism, the, the cold, uh, forming plus all the welding on top of it. It got to be so expensive to install on site that it was just easier to, to build a central location, which I think they were going for. I’m not even sure that in today’s world, because of the advanced technology in the existing way of manufacturing is so good and inexpensive that it makes any sense to try anything else. It just seems like it’s, there’s just stamping out parts right now.  Rosemary Barnes: Oh, no. I mean, we definitely need new, new methods because we’re really constrained on how tall towers can get if you just wanna make a steel cylinder and ship it out in, you know, whole pieces, like whole cross sections and. Um, put them together vertically. That’s you. You know, like we’ve, we’ve gotten about as tall as we’re gonna get for that because if you want to go any taller, you’re gonna have to start massively increasing the thickness of the tower to make it stiffen up. And that just means way more steel to keep material costs reasonable. You need to increase the diameter, um, beyond [00:06:00] what you can transport on the road. Um, but I think that it’s like the, the, the problem is definitely real and well established, but it’s like with many other. Problems. You know when you start thinking, okay, we’ve got a solution to this problem at that time, there aren’t other solutions, so you’re sure that you know you’re gonna win. And so spiral welding was one of the early ones. Oh, we can fix this problem, but. While they’re developing that and trying to get the capabilities where it needs to be, the cost down, you’ve got a dozen other competing ways that you could solve that problem. And they include like, um, some manufacturers, I think Vestus is one. They’re cutting longitudinally. And so instead of, um, shipping out towers in a single cross section, it’ll be like four. And then they’re bolted together on site. Um, and then Concrete Towers is another one. The Naber Lift, um, thing that I mentioned.  Matthew Stead: Wooden towers.  Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, wooden Wooden towers is, uh, another one I’ve covered, uh, [00:07:00] on my YouTube channel. Matthew Stead: They really should make them out of carbon fiber, shouldn’t they?  Rosemary Barnes: Well, I have, it’s not, it’s You’re saying that as a, as a crazy thing. It’s not, it’s not such a crazy thing. And I have, I have, I have looked into it. You wouldn’t do it outta carbon fiber. You’d do it outta glass. Um, there’s a lot of. There’s a lot of benefits to it, and I actually do believe that we might eventually see like 3D printed glass, um, towers. Allen Hall: No.  Rosemary Barnes: Now we’re just getting into our standard. I, I believe the future might look different to the, to the present day, and Alan never thinks that anything’s ever gonna change.  Matthew Stead: I would’ve. 3D uh, printed concrete towers would have some logic.  Rosemary Barnes: There’s been pilots of 3D printed concrete, concrete towers. I’m, I’m pretty sure GE had a, um, a project on that and there might have been somebody else that did, took it a bit further. It’s all possible. It’s also like concrete towers are, are good, but it is local. Like it depends on having the right materials around locally. ’cause you don’t want to have to transport Hess of. Concrete and water to site. Um, [00:08:00] so yeah, anyway, the point is that like, just because you’ve identified a real problem and you’ve got a solution to it, if you are gonna take five or 10 years to develop your technology and get it to the right price point, you are not gonna be the only, the only solution anymore. So people often like massively overestimate how valuable their idea is. Um, and by the time that it’s ready, it’s not the best solution anymore. So I think like the lesson from that is to just. You need to just move really, really fast and keep your peripheral vision available to see what other technologies are developing in tandem and know when, when to pull the pin. If you are no longer, you no longer have a path to be the best solution, then. Stop. Even if you’ve got 90% of a solution, don’t bother with the last 10%. If you’re never gonna sell it, you know it’s a waste go. Um, let, let all your smart people work on something else. Allen Hall: Delamination and bottom line, failures and blades are [00:09:00]difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep to blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections, completely. Miss C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades. Back in service, so visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions. Can we pull the pin? On digital twins. I came across another company that was pushing digital twins in the wind turbine space. And I thought, I thought we got rid of that a year ago. Can we stop doing that?  Rosemary Barnes: I, um, in general, like I think a lot of times you see digital twins and I can’t see the point, but there are some applications where you [00:10:00] definitely can,  Matthew Stead: uh, I can add on the digital twin, so the IEC 61 400 dash 32, the new blade o and m standard has in the, in its current draft, it has a section on digital twins. Um, and um, at the last meeting there was a debate as to whether that should be taken out because actually, um, AI, ml, um, all these, um, approaches will just overrun the concept of the traditional digital twin. So, um, I was voting for it to be removed, um, but. Other people didn’t. And so it’s still in the current draft. Yolanda Padron: I am a little bit tired around digital twins at the idea of, like, I’ve seen the title slapped around a lot of things that just aren’t digital twins. And I think that gets even more confusing to a lot of people who are just new to the space or new to the idea that then they, they, they hear digital twin, they have like an idea about it or like, oh, it’s really great, and then they pursue something that just [00:11:00] really isn’t, it’s just a. A monitoring system that they wanted to name something else.  Allen Hall: Yes, that’s it.  Rosemary Barnes: I’ve seen it used well in manufacturing, which is not usually what people are selling it as, but you know, if you have a new composite part, for example, and like a wind turbine blade is a really good example, you design it. And then you can only test it to a certain extent. Um, and you never know exactly what you’ve made, right? And so it’s really hard to kind of relate, like to validate your design tools when not every blade is the same. You know, it’s aiming to be the same. The design is the same every time, but you’re gonna get different results every time you test it. But with some advanced, uh, manufacturing, like my favorite thing to argue with Alan about 3D printing, um, fiber reinforced composites. You can really precisely know exactly what your part looks like all through the structure. You know where every void is. Um, you know where every fiber is and then so you know that exact part. Then you can test that exact part, and you do that with, you know, a dozen of them and you can really [00:12:00] build up a model of what kinds of defects are really, um, you know, doing what to the performance output. And then that can help you to get your quality, um, acceptance to really, like you, you can do the things that matter instead of guessing, oh, okay, yeah, we know that we want this much. Bond line, you can actually know, okay, well like where does that matter? Where doesn’t it? What’s the actual threshold? However, it’s very expensive to do that, and I don’t know that it would make sense for wind turbine blades economically, maybe. Maybe it will one day. I mean, if we can get the quality data that we need, there are big pro quality problems that need to be solved with blades so. I think it’s something to not totally rule out anyway. Matthew Stead: That’s quality control. That’s not a digital twin.  Rosemary Barnes: No, but it is. You have the di you have the make up a digital twin of the, of the part that you’ve made, and then you test it and then you can, um, digitally test the [00:13:00] part that you, the model that you have. So it is a digital twin. Um, it’s just used in a very different way to what digital twins are usually sold as. It’s not at the right level yet for a hundred meter long. Composite wind turbine blade. Um, and also because you would need to destructively test, you know, a, a whole bunch of blades which no one can afford to, to do that.  Yolanda Padron: What if we were to take all the money from like FSAs and stuff that they have to spend, like the OEMs actually have to spend from all of the manufacturing defects from, oh, I tweaked this on this blade type in this. Factory and set it to print and then I tweaked it over here and then I set it to print for like hundreds and hundreds of blades. Um, you know, all of that money spent accumulates too, if we really wanna look at the business case. But eventually, I think maybe it’d be great if it were to work out. I am also.[00:14:00] Hoping  Rosemary Barnes: I, I think it would be a really interesting project to work, and I bet I could. I, I bet that, you know, a good project manager could get, get a positive business case out of it. At the end. One of the problems is that like service, the service department bucket of money is not at all related to the manufacturing bucket of money. Um, so, or the, yeah, the engineering back of the money that, that, that would be a really big problem and make it harder to find a positive business case. But I still think that it’s, um. Yeah, it, there’s a lot of potential there. It would be really interesting project to work on.  Matthew Stead: In terms of the operational phase, I, I think, um, like I said before, the A IML tools. A way more powerful with anomaly detection rather than building a, a fancy digital model, which is not accurate. Um, actually you’re better off looking at the deviations and then the anomalies from what you expect. And I, and there are quite a few people that are doing that, and I, I personally think that’s a way more effective method during the operations and maintenance phase. Rosemary Barnes: But I think that that [00:15:00] would be related. It would be a way to improve what you’re doing there because you said, yeah, digital twin, that’s not. Accurate. So you would need to be accurate. That would be the project to figure out like how you can get accuracy in the right places that you need it. You wouldn’t be able to afford to have accuracy over the entire blade ’cause it’s just way too much data. And then, um, it would help you to figure out like what anoma, what anomalies do we need to look for that are the, the critical ones. I, I think that they would, they would work in partnership. Um, not as two separate things. Can I just plug, because I’m gonna go to China in April and can I just plug that if anyone has any projects, I’ll be there anyway. And um, yeah, so I am sharing the cost of the trip between a few different collaborations and there will be a chance. To, to get me out there to see some manufacturing, et cetera. Would be really excited to go visit some Chinese [00:16:00] manufacturing, some Chinese development. Got a few, few tentative irons in fires at the moment, but would love to have Chinese companies reach out to me and see if we can arrange a collaboration  Allen Hall: as wind energy professionals.

Whether you’re an industry veteran or new to wind, PES Wind has the high quality content you need. Don’t miss out. Visit PS wind.com today. It has been a turbulent chapter in offshore wind in America. No doubt about that vineyard wind. The first large scale offshore wind project in the US has faced a crazy difficult road after months of uncertainty, partial construction, and a federally ordered pause. The [00:17:00] project has reached a telling milestone the first. And final shipment of the last blade has departed the port of New Bedford, Massachusetts. And, uh, the blades were just sitting on port for a little while. Uh, Keyside. So this is the last blades or set of blades that’s going out to a turbine. This should sort of wrap it up. I, although I do think there are a couple of blades that may still need some modification updates, something of the sort. But in terms of getting termites out in the water. This should be it. And remember a few months ago, GE and uh, a number of others, vineyard was saying that they’re trying to be done in March. So they’re going to come really close to doing that. And that I know they’re trying to get power all turned on for the site. Because once that happens, it’s really hard for the, uh, the federal government to put any stops on them. I, I guess the question is now, is there any future for offshore wind for [00:18:00]ge now that this is complete and, and it’s kind of off the books, which is what they’ve been trying to do for the last roughly two years, is get it off the books. Matthew Stead: Um, as a positive, I mean. You know, every industry goes through challenges and improve. So I mean, despite all the turmoil, you know, there has to be some good come from it, even though it is been a painful, horrible process. You know, surely there’s some good come from it in terms of improved quality in the future, improved processes, so,  Allen Hall: well, I, I guess that’s the question is are they taking some of these lessons learned and applying them, or are they taking the lessons learned and saying we’re not gonna do that again in, in terms of going down the pathway for offshore wind. Matthew Stead: Well, I think if, uh, if they don’t apply the lessons, that’s sort of, it shows a massive failure of an organization.  Allen Hall: Yeah. It may, I guess it’s a question if it’s a technical failure or a financial failure. Maybe it’s both at the minute until they get everything up and running. But I think the financial side has been. Driving a number of the, of the decisions because the [00:19:00] technical side hasn’t gone all that well.  Matthew Stead: Uh, I think, uh, I think the financial side is an art, which I don’t understand.  Allen Hall: Yeah. Yeah. There’s a lot of moving pieces in financing offshore wind. Now, Vestas has won a, a couple of big. Uh, orders from RWB offshore and Vestus has obviously been in, in some offshore, not at the scale as originally as some of the other OEMs. It does look like the future is bright for Vestus offshore. Is that just gonna continue on that? Vestus is going to invest heavily in offshore and basically dominate that market. Or compete against a a Chinese manufacturer. It doesn’t seem like Siemens is gonna win a lot of offshore contracts off. At least today it doesn’t. You don’t see a lot of noise about that. You see mostly Vestas winning these gigawatt orders. It almost seems inevitable they’re gonna win most of them.  Matthew Stead: Um, I don’t, being long way, way away from where these projects are being made, uh, installed. Um, I don’t have the same sort of insights. [00:20:00] Um, but, um, I mean, obviously yeah, vest, MHI, the previous, um, you know, joint venture with MHI, which especially heavy industries. Um, obviously they’ve come from a, a long pedigree of, um, working offshore, so yeah, I mean, why not? And, um, it seems to be a more of a gradual ramp up, um, and a more orderly, systematic ramp up for offshore. So, yeah. Why, why wouldn’t that work?  Allen Hall: Well, we should hop on the. China discussion because, uh, China’s when turbine makers obviously been trying to build turbines in, in Europe at scale for quite a while now. Uh, and Ying Yang is talking about focusing their efforts on. Germany and they have joined the German Offshore Wind Association BWO. And this is not just a membership cards, uh, that they have subscribed to. It is really like, in a lot of people’s opinion, a strategic signal that Ming Yang intends to compete in the European off.[00:21:00] Market, maybe starting with Germany. Ming Yang was trying to get into Scotland originally, and they were talking about a billion and a half pounds being poured into Scotland to develop factories for offshore wind. Maybe that has come, uh, time has passed and Ming Yang is moving on to Germany. That’s what it reads like to me. Or, or they’re gonna hedge their bets and, and look at both places to see if they can get a foot. Print established in either country.  Matthew Stead: I mean, reputation matters. So you really need to build up a, a footprint. And why would you apply a scatter gun approach? So, I mean, you know, just targeting, you know, one region or, um, you know, makes complete sense to me. So, you know, get, get, get some turbines in the water, get them up and running, get them, get the reliability and the, the reputation, and then, and then go from there. I mean, made complete business sense.  Allen Hall: Well, does that mean that, uh, a mean yang is going to have to lose a little bit of money early on to get some turbines in the water just to demonstrate that they [00:22:00] can do it at scale in Europe? Matthew Stead: I might defer to Rosie, but I would’ve thought they don’t need to, you know, cut costs. I think they’re already cost effective. So you would’ve thought they would just go in, um, with their, their normal product offering and still be successful. Uh, but maybe I’m, I’m on the wrong mark there.  Rosemary Barnes: My understanding is, and I, I don’t know heaps. But my understanding is with Chinese when turbines, that there’s a separate version for the Chinese market, and then if they wanna sell it internationally, then they need to make a new version of it that will pass the IEC, um, standards and the kinds of, you know, certification testing that everybody in those markets is used to. So you’re not always getting, or I don’t think you, I think you’re usually not getting the exact same product. So just because the product exists in China doesn’t mean that it is. Um, without risk in new markets.  Allen Hall: Well, I’m, I’m just curious if ING Yang will have to do a complete IEC certification process because they haven’t done it yet. Uh, is that what you’re saying?  Rosemary Barnes: They do [00:23:00] a, actually a redesign so that they can pass the, um. Certification and then they, yes, they do the whole certification process. However, Mingan hasn’t sold no turbines outside of China. So they have, or it’s not like this is a brand new thing for them that they’ll have to have to, you know, figure out as they go. Um, they’ve, they’ve, you know, I, I, if they haven’t done it for these specific turbines that they’re planning to manufacture in that factory, they’ve at least done it for others and know the process. Um, yeah, and I think we all know it’s not that hard to pass a certification test, so it’s not like a huge obstacle for them. But it will add, it will add cost to the, um, to the process and to the product. Probab probably, you know, there are some design changes that will be needed that will increase the cost of the product. So I don’t think that we’re gonna see, um, you know, Chinese turbines from any, any manufacturer outside of China that are as cheap as the prices that you see within China. Matthew Stead: To be fair though, um, there is a strong, um, Chinese involvement in the IAC committees. So, um, [00:24:00] definitely the, the standards are being used. So, you know, the standards are being used in China, and so I, I don’t think it’s a huge stretch from, you know, the, the domestic product versus the international product.

Red Wine & Blue is back from the holidays and ready to tackle 2026! So it feels right that we were joined for our first pod of the new year by two of our favorite RWB colleagues, Rebecca and Janice.All last year, Rebecca did the hard work of tracking Project 2025 as Trump put it into place, one dangerous policy at a time. So of course we had to ask what her strategy has been to do this depressing research every day without losing her shit! She told us that the antidote has been seeing the amazing work that RWB and women across the country did in their local communities all year long.So to hear more about that on-the-ground work, we also chatted with our North Carolina Program Director, Janice Robinson. Janice and her team have been training women to run for office, protecting kids from ICE at their local schools, and so much more.The year 2025 may be over, but Project 2025 isn't going anywhere. The Trump administration plans to continue and expand their authoritarian work in 2026. And although that feels daunting, we know how to counter it: by working in our local communities and talking to our friends, family, and neighbors.As Rebecca put it, Project 2025 was “an enormous horrible group project” that included the work of hundreds of conservative authors. But we have our own group project to protect our communities and our country—and there's no telling what millions of passionate women can accomplish when we work together.2026 is going to be a big year. Let's go!For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue. You can learn more about us at www.redwine.blue or follow us on social media!

Retired U.S. Special Forces Col. Michael "Sully" Sullivan served 30 years in the US Army - 23 as a Green Beret. He is now Executive Director of Team RWB.Zachary Polega is a West Point Graduate and former Infantry Officer who has overcome injuries from a grenade explosion during a special ops mission and joined 11 other RWB members for the 2026 Old Glory Relay. Zach and Sully joined American Legion Tango Alpha Lima podcast hosts Joe Worley and Adam Marr live at Media Row in Baltimore before the 2025 Army Navy Game presented by USAA to share their experiences in military service and how they have translated that into a mission of health and wellness for veterans.

This week is Thanksgiving, so we're celebrating gratitude with the RWB fam. We heard from our colleagues about what they're grateful for this year -- from brave kids walking out over ICE to the work we get to do every day to the joys of a good book. That's not to say that we're not also pissed off! Trump's latest misogynistic jibe (calling a female reporter "piggy") has Katie and LaFonda fuming. But the response we're seeing online from other women and the ways that our communities are standing up to extremism across the country give us hope.We can hold many things at the same time. 2025 has been an unbelievably difficult year, but it's also been full of moments that make us grateful. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday and we'll see you next week.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Is it November already? Apparently so, as the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast closes out our season with a wrap of the 112th Grey Cup. As had become tradition on the RWB, co-host Joe Pritchard tells us of his Grey Cup Week experience in his well-visited Winnipeg and specifically the efforts he contributed there for CFL Fans Fight Cancer during the festivities. Joe returned to the ‘States in good time to commiserate with co-host Os Davis on his beloved Montreal Alouettes' loss to the admittedly unhateable 2025 CFL champion Saskatchewan Roughriders in that final game. In working through the stages of grief, Os is sadly still focused on a nightmarish second quarter, while Joe saliently points out a serious miss by Als HC Jason Maas. But hey, the RWB's also accentuating the positive, congratulating the Riders on an excellent – if not exactly ultra-dominant – season, giving Trever Harris possibly career-ending props, and remaining bullish on the Alouettes' future. We've also got a bit of speculation on 2026 (RWB'll be the first to say “Is it June yet?”) including a fairly obvious prediction about predictions. Finally, Joe expresses his enthusiasm regarding the trick-or-treat rumors regarding Winnipeg Blue Bombers head coach Mike O'Shea. The RWB caps the podcasting for now, but we'll likely be back before you realize – say, sometime after the schedule release in December. Nice season, eh? The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: That's a wrap (for 2025)!

O boy, o boy, o boy, it's time for the 2025 Grey Cup championship game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes (one more victory lap: Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis's preseason prediction)! This week, RWB co-host Joe Pritchard is prepping for his annual pilgrimage for the Big Game, this year in his beloved Winnipeg, and so Os is joined by Scout of the Elks Call podcast/fearless leader of the Shotgun Sports Network. Scout and Os run through division final games, both with spread-pushing 3-point differentials, and perform brief moratoria on the BC Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Then it's on to what we've all been awaiting: That 112th Grey Cup thing. We've got picks and predictions on that final game and, spoilers, about the only thing the agree on is that we're destined for a close one. Enjoy, all! The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: Americans talking Canadian football (most of the time)…

This time, it's all about Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Montreal Alouettes and Calgary Stampeders at BC Lions. That's right: It's playoff time in the Canadian Football League, so what else should the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast focus on?   Co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis concentrate solely on the second RWB Bowl in three years (a.k.a. the East Semifinal) and the West Semifinal, which they reckon could be a classic defensive, ground-and-pound struggle and a high-flying scoreboard-spinning shootout, respectively… RWB's got picks, predictions and lots of speculation; if this isn't the greatest time of the year, we don't know what is. The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: That's right, we're talking about playoffs!?!?!!

Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-host Os Davis is out this week (he must've gotten the first-round playoff bye), but co-host Joe Pritchard is here to chair this latest episode, welcoming in Santino Filoso of 3 Down Nation – coming to you live from Brazil! Santino is on the Ottawa Redblacks beat there at 3 Down, and so the team makes for the focus of discussion as he and Joe take on questions like “What happened this season?”, “What can be done about on-field and roster issues?”, “What can be done about off-field, fandom and front office issues?” and really “Can anything be done at all?” The RWB may or may not be back this week with a playoff preview, but look for the podcast at its regular time post playoff openers! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: We love all the teams; well, maybe not the Riders…  

It all went by so fast … the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast digs in with a look at the penultimate week of the 2025 CFL season; co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard do the usual rundown of games played and days to come, but with the Edmonton Elks' elimination, taking stock is also in the cards. The RWB looks back on a seemingly slightly less futile bid by the Elks and the remarkable wire-to-wire run by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, both this show's and the vogue pick for this year's Grey Cup back in June. As for picks and predictions for week 21, welllllll, we're saying don't even think about betting these games. Every single game potentially leads to subsequent games in which the second string might be waved in early.  However, RWB does believe in the Elks upset this week… Also, what's up with that whole Grey Cup Team Social Pass thing? In short, it ain't pretty. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Enjoying Canadian football while we can…  

The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast this week marvels at the way the league's standings somehow tightened up further after week 19. After the Edmonton Elks and Calgary Stampeders topped the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats, respectively, RWB co-hosts Joe Prtichard and Os Davis marvel at the possibility of a four way, 9-9 tie bottlenecking the West side of the table. And the RWB also has a requiem of sorts for the Ottawa Redblacks; of course, we've been pouring one out for the hapless franchise for years… All this, plus picks and predictions for week 20 with – incredibly enough – all four games still carrying significance for the 2025 playoffs. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Who do you have?  

WAKE UP! Blue Jays LOSE LOL / Brett almost hurt himself at Reh-Fit / 7:35 Concert for a Cause / Jets 8:35 (1:40); Carney, Trump signal optimism on Canada-U.S. trade deal / Takeaways from Carney's meeting with Trump at White House (9:20); Times you celebrated early, like Brayden Ewasko crowning the Jays before they lost to the Yankees! LOL BRAYDEN (15:35); 11th Annual Concert for a Cause, happening on Friday, October 18 at Club Regent Event Centre - Over $240K raised since launching in 2015, will raise more than $75K this year (24:15); Weekly Wednesday Jets chat - CONNOR SIGNS EXTENSION! (34:40); Winning entry on early celebrations (45:50); RWB Hansel and Gretel this weekend - Christopher Stowell, the new Artistic Director for RWB in his mainstage premiere! (49:05).

All right, so week 18 in the 2025 CFL season was little more than three blowouts resulting in the elimination of the Ottawa Redblacks and defending champion Toronto Argonauts – nevertheless, the Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast is here looking forward to next week because whoa, does the plot thicken… As the 2025 CFL regular season reaches its finale, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis put a moratorium on the previously mentioned teams' seasons and, in picking and predicting for next week's games, ultimately run through just a few of the many (many!) variations we could see in this year's playoffs.   Plus, the RWB manages to conjure up a Hollywood movie plotline for each of the seven teams remaining in contention, from Cody Fajardo leading his Edmonton Elks through a couple of his former employers to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats ending the CFL's longest run of futility as Bo Levi Mitchell reasserts himself as the league's unquestionable MVP – and MOP. Check out this episode of the RWB for all the plotlines in the CFL… The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: The beginning of a beautiful friendship.  

Week 17 of the CFL season was thoroughly enjoyed by Rouge White & Blue podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis – after all, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Montreal Alouettes both won, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats lost, and the standings table just ratcheted up with excitement. So what's not to like? Welllllllllllllllllllllllll… As fans of the Canadian game surely know, CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston this past week announced a half-dozen rule changes to befall the sport over the next two seasons – and some fans aren't happy. In fact, the RWB wonders whether we'll be watching an American football thtat's Canadian in name only by 2030. This may be, concludes the RWB, all about the money. Depressing potential reality aside, the RWB nevertheless plows forward with an increasingly interesting playoff picture (and scenarios!) plus a tiny bit of fantasy football speak plus picks and predictions for week 18. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: “Rouge” is the name, y'all…  

On this episode of Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast, co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis marvel at how much the narrative of an entire league can change in just one week. Like, for example, how this week after the BC Lions ran up 50-plus points on the Calgary Stampeders, the former suddenly look a lot more plausible to seriously compete for the Grey Cup than the latter. Not to mention the Montreal Alouettes stealing one from the similarly QB-challenged Toronto Argonauts to put the 2023 CFL champions in suddenly well stronger p;osition that the '24 champs. And finally, there are the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who – ah, nothing's changing with the Felines, unfortunately… This rundown plus picks and predictions for week 17 (no way, already?!!?!?) from the RWB! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Waiting for next week when everything's different again…  

This week, it's episode #300 of the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast – and as MAD magazine would put it on similar occasions: “very big deal.” Because this is football podcasting, RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard aren't so interested in the distant past when the recent past will suffice, like a week 15 in which 258 points were scored and the East division tightened. And for the Rider haters (hey, we're sympathetic), the RWB rolls back gloomy thoughts of the 2025 CFL champion Saskatchewan Roughriders – does giving up 48 points to McLeod Bethel-Thompson's Montreal Alouettes indicate chinks in the armor…? Per usual, RWB previews the upcoming week's games and talks early playoff scenarios (or, rather, the lack thereof). The Rouge, White & Blue: Podcasting since Edmonton were last CFL champions…

Meanwhile in Canada… Coming into the homestretch, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast notes that things are turning, um, south for co-host Joe Pritchard's Winnipeg Blue Bombers, co-host Os Davis's Montreal Alouettes, and not-quite-everybody's vogue pick for the 2025 Grey Cup, BC Lions. So what's left for the RWB to do but marvel (some more) at those Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats, not to mention the utterly amazing Justin Rankin? We wrap last week's games and as usual try valiantly to put forth rational pick and predictions for week 16. The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: Just call us the Bethel-Thompson Twins…  

(Alternatively: “Two barnburners and a Calgary stampede”) In an annual tradition, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast hosts break down the annual traditional slate of the CFL's Labour Day Classic games. RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis are wowed by the Calgary Stampeders, accepting of another Saskatchewan Roughriders win and wondering where those Toronto Argonauts and BC Lions'll finish. The RWB also couldn't help but to peek at the remaining schedule, what with the 2025 season entering the homestretch (well, approaching the homestretch) while attempting to pick winners against the spead an din CFL Pick ‘Em… The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: Still saying nice things about the Stamps and Riders…  

What can the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast say about week 12 of the 2025 CFL season? Well, it's a podcast, so you can be sure RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis fins something to say. Lots of somethings, in fact. Somethings like: Wouldn't the Winnipeg Blue Bombers really, *really* like a bye right about now? Speaking of weirded-out schedules, how about the Calgary Stampeders now sitting at 5-0 versus the Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders? Is there anything more disenheartening than watching a star-studded Montreal Alouettes defense go for naught as the offense gets completely crushed in TOP and, you know, points scored? How about those Toronto Argonauts, hanging 51 on the BC Lions and suddenly playing themselves into contention? And how about those Edmonton Elks, just a half-game out of the playoffs while helmed by the mysteriously underrated Cody Fajardo? Answers (or at least attempts thereof) to these questions and more – plus picks and predictios for the Labour Day Classics of week 13… The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: Sorry, the N-F-what?

After week 11 of the 2025 CFL season, certain things have become quite clear at the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast … things Like the Saskatchewan Roughriders may be even better than advertised; the (defending champion!) Toronto Argonauts might be worse than we thought; and, of course, the seeming inevitability of the West-to-East crossover come playoff time. The realization leads to some classic CFL-based conversation by RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard – the RWB questions whether the crossover is in itself fair for the no. 2 and no. 3 West seeds. And while one easy solution might just be to add a 10th team, Joe presents an intriguing case as to why adding the Atlantic Schooners, Halifax Fighting Lobsters or whomever might actually be a *bad* move for the league. But beyond the tangents, the RWB guys (attempt to) make sense of the week that was and pick/predict week 12, including an RWB Bowl matchup featuring the Winnipeg Blue Bombers vs the Montreal Alouettes (with quite possibly QB #5 going for the latter) and a marquee Riders-Calgary Stamps game. The Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast: No more 2014, please!

Week 9 of the 2025 CFL season is in the books and thanks to wins, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats have extended their divisional leads. The Rouge, White and Blue CFL Podcast seesd no end in sight – good news for fans of these two teams, though… RWB co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard wouldn't know. Bombers fan Joe talks some of the shuffling in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' secondary after getting repeatedly torched by Damonte Coxie, win notwithstanding. And when Joe points out that the Montreal Concordes Alouettes were celebrating 80s Night, Os can only celebrate José Maltos-Diaz. As always, the RWB recaps the past week of Canadian football, and we've also got another weekly summary of the Crankshaft comic strip's featured story on the Blue Bombers game (Minneapolis airport! A Zach Collaros namedrop! Poutine!). And of course, picks and predictions for next week (though don't necessarily go with Joe on his Calgary Stampeders pick)… The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Wait, we're halfway through this thing…?  

Week 8 in the CFL has the Rouge, White and Blue CFL Podcast a bit divided: co-host Os Davis has aged badly due to a third consecutive last-minute heart-attack special by his Montreal Alouettes, while Joe Pritchard reckons with his Winnipeg Blue Bombers playing some shabby football for the first time since before Covid-19… As ever, the RWB recaps the past week of football – including those comeback specials by the Als in Calgary and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in BC. We've also got a summary of the Crankshaft comic strip's featured story on the Blue Bombers game and picks/predictions for next week (told y'all the pick in week 8 was the Hamilton/BC over!)…. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: One more victory like this and…

Sure, the Rouge, White and Blue CFL podcast will do the usual weekly bits: co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard talk week 7 action, make picks and predictions (for what it's worth) on the week 8 games – you know the deal. But first, the RWB chats up a neat informal CFL crossover event that will be going on for a few weeks yet. Get this: The creator of Crankshaft – No, not the auto part. This Crankshaft is a spinoff of Funky Winkerbean – Funky Winkerbean? It's running today but was a particular favorite in the 1980s and 90s. As it turns out the creator of Crankshaft and Funky Winkerbean is a huge Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan, so the next couple dozen Crankshaft comic strips will be devoted to – “What's a comic strip?” Ah, never mind, just check out GoComics.com and you'll get right into the story. And the RWB promises they'll be no other old-guy stuff for the remainder of the episode. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: “We also sat around and watched football, which back then was called baseball…”

This week's theme on the Rouge, White and Blue CFL podcast That strange feeling when the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats are leading their divisions… RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis look back on a week 6, which not only saw the Stamps and Ticats notch wins against division rivals, but wins games by dint of defense rather than ace QBs. Strange times, indeed. On the other hand, another sad loss by the Edmonton Elks may already be taking this team off the playoff standings board already in what is probably another loooooong season for Elks backers. This plus a look ahead to picks and predictions for week 7 – Will it be another four games in bizarro world….? The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Really, though…?

One of the CFL's unsung traditions – probably due to its sheer randomness – is the annual week's worth of games whose outcome simply makes no sense in the moment. And so Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast co-hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard rehash the week 5 slate, four games that destroyed any delusions you may harbored of pullilng off a decent year in CFL Pick ‘Em while giving hope (or maybe more hope) to the likes of Hamiltion Tiger-Cats and Calgary Stampeders fans. Amidst the bafflement around the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' blowout loss in the first-ever Stampede Bowl and Os's gnashing of teeth over BC Lions running up 146 penalty yards yet the W in Montreal are kudos for a couple of RBs, quite a few special teams guys and, of course, Bo Levi Mitchell. Then it's on to the proverbial next week with some Pick ‘Em picks and predictions on the lines – the RWB might be shaking off these losses for a while… The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Trying not to get upset about upsets…

“Revenge of the backup quarterbacks?” you may ask. “Revenge on who?” Well, the Rouge, White & Blue CFL Podcast might posit, how about the entire notion of “No Lead is Safe,” for example. Or how about on any fanbase with high hopes for a team depending on the likes of Davis Alexander, Dru Brown, Nathan Rourke or Trevor Harris? (OK, maybe not that last one.) So after a week of blowouts across the Canadian league, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis are here to reiterate a few reminders all those no. 2 QBs provided in week 4, namely the importance of a solid running game as well as that, you know, throwing a football is difficult. Along with the recap of a bit of a beyond-disappointing week for four fanbases, the RWB's also got picks and predictions for the week 5 slate which will hopefully give us a few bangers. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Quarterbacking ain't easy…

Week 3 of the 2025 CFL season is now in the books – not exactly nut-cutting time, but Rouge White & Blue CFL podcast co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis can't help but draw some conclusions about the season as a whole based on early results. And there are questions. Questions like… Can the Saskatchewan Roughriders – despite their early 3-0 mark – somehow stop shooting themselves in the foot with the dumb penalties and the occasional egregious mental error? (Concomitantly, are they good enough that such may not matter?) How sorry is Joe for dumping on the Montreal Alouettes in his preseason predictions? After three mostly lackluster games (including two in a row without a passing touchdown), is the Dave Dickinson Era with the Calgary Stampeders ending? Can the Toronto Argonauts pull together a respectable defense before digging too deep a whole even for the perpetual playoff stunners to come back from? Would a week 4 victory essentially earmark a spot in the playoffs for the Ottawa Redblacks? and more! Plus, as always, the RWB has predictions and CFL Pick ‘Em picks for next week's games – tune in now while things are getting interesting! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: How awesome is this sport, anyway…?

Another week of football, another Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast episode! In this one, RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis naturally run down all the week 2 action, marveling at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers winning without Zach Collaros or (for most of the game) Brady Olivera, at the Calgary Stampeders winning without Reggie Begelton (for most of the game) or an offensive touchdown, and most of all at the ice-cold kickers of this league in general – WTF happened this week? We've also got CFL Pick ‘Em picks and predictions for week 3, and a bit of a lament followed by indecision about last week's and this week's fantasy football gaming. It's all, as they say, here. The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Kicking it weekly in audio format…

It's here! It's finally here! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast talke some week 1 of the 2025 CFL season, reckoning that, if the openers are any indication, quite a few high-flying offenses – like the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Calgary Stampeders, BC Lions, plus possibly the Ottawa Redblacks and Montreal Alouettes – should wow football fans through Novemeber. And speaking about these Alouettes, whoa, does RWB co-host Os Davis have raves like Montreal just won the 2023 Grey Cup…he can't help gushing over Davis Alexander, Darrell Sankey, Tyson Philpot and the rest while his poor co-host Joe Pritchard awaits the '25 debut of his Winnipeg Blue Bombers. For all the RWB hot takes, lukewarm calls and fantasy football braggadocio, check out this episode. The Rouge White & Blue Podcast: We're just glad the CFL's back…

Despite some technical difficulties, the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast pushed through to produce yet another preseason episode packed with speculation. And this time, the madness is streamlined along the lines of the awesome CFL.ca Gamezone 2025 Preseason Futures contest. Hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis offer picks and preditions on 10 scintillating questions heading into the '25 season, namely: Which team will win the East? Which team will win the West? Will any CFL quarterback throw for 5,000 or more? Which player will win the season MOP award? Will any CFL player have more than 12 sacks? Brady Olivera: over/under 2,000 total yards? Which team will have the best regular season record? Which player will score the first touchdown of the season? Will any kicker make a field goal of more than 60 yards? and of course… Which team will win the 2025 Grey Cup? The RWB's got your predictions right here. (Remember: We're not claiming they're *good* predictions per se…) The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Betting on fun in 2025…

This week, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast hosts Joe Pritchard and Os Davis have a guest – none other than Alex Dormuth of the Piffles Podcast. As Piffles is a Saskatchewan Roughriders-centric podcast, the RWB talks a lot of Riders offseason, including the free-agent moves, cutdowns, draft picks and that punter controversy faced by the team. Nevertheless, at least two of us begrudgingly agree that this just might be the Riders' year… One fun discussion bumpered by the RWB's amazement that another CFL season is nearly upon us – nice! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: It's already May; whoa…    

With the 2025 CFL Draft (and the awesome concomitant Global Draft) behind us, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast hosts Os Davis and Joe Pritchard have thoughts, reactions, and overreactions. This week, the RWB talks some no. 1 picks, wonder if the Toronto Argonauts had the best draft, consider the interesting Winnipeg Blue Bombers-Hamilton Tiger-Cats Draft Day trade, discuss the possible outcomes for QB Kurtis Rourke, and do a bit more way-too-early speculation. And that thing about a beer sponsorship for the league. Bud Light? Seriously, guys…? The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: Is there a draft in here?

Aaaand the Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast is back after a five-month hibernation period – what else is there to say? Lots, actually! RWB co-hosts Joe Pritchard & Os Davis have the entire free-agency season – during which a few interesting players moved around, as we understand it – to recap and lots of speculation to indulge in. Then there's one not-quite-prediction regarding the 2025 Grey Cup that just about breaks Joe's Bombers-blue heart. Also: A warm welcome to new CFL Commissioner Stuart Johnston goes out from the RWB and an adios to the Randy Ambrosie Era. Next up: The draft! It's good to be awake… The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: It's almost June already!

We knew it was coming, but it's still hard to believe that this is our last episode of The Suburban Women Problem. We have appreciated this community of listeners so much over the past 4 years, and we're so grateful to Jasmine, Rachel and Amanda for continuing to bring their whole selves to 5 seasons of great conversations.This week, RWB founder Katie Paris sends us off - but she's also here to share a little bit about what's coming next! Red Wine & Blue's work is more important than ever in this difficult political time, and we've been hearing two things from our community: women have questions, and we're burned out. Starting next week, we'll run a series of short shareable episodes called "Okay But Why," where we answer some of the questions we've been hearing. Katie also teased a show we'll be producing later this spring about political burnout. The struggle is real and we want to meet our listeners where they're at!So don't go anywhere - unlike many federal departments right now, you will not have an interruption in service!

No, no, Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast Joe Pritchard wasn't hiding out due to his Winnipeg Blue Bombers fandom in the aftermath of said Bombers' loss to the Toronto Argonauts in the 11th Grey Cup championship game – we swear. In fact, Joe is even up for recapping a disappointing (for him) Grey Cup and discussing an enlivening (for just about everyone, reportedly) Grey Cup week in Vancouver with RWB co-host Os Davis in a, let's say, thorough fashion. And just like the CFL itself, pretty much immediately after the Grey Cup talk does the RWB dive into the earliest of early moves in the 2025 season including the lightning-qucik acquisition of Vernon Admas Jr. by the Calgary Stampeders and the front-office and/or head coach hiring machinations of the Edmonton Elks, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and BC Lions. So who wants to keep talking CFL football? We do! The Rouge White & Blue CFL Podcast: It's becoming a 12-month-per-year sport!
