In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins dig into the Cleveland Cavaliers' 131-122 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They break down the team's recurring inability to play a complete four-quarter game, highlighting a brutal third-quarter collapse where Minnesota outscored Cleveland 43-22. Sands and Watkins explore the Cavs' vanishing defensive identity, the unsustainable minutes being shouldered by Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley's inconsistent aggression and decision-making. With the season nearly at the halfway mark, they examine whether these persistent flaws are not just temporary lapses, but reflective of the team's true identity — and what that means for Cleveland's decisions in the near future. The hosts weigh whether effort and fundamentals alone can turn things around, or if the Cavs face a pivotal moment where change becomes inevitable. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor break down the Cavaliers' narrow 120-116 win over a severely depleted Indiana Pacers team — and why it raised more concerns than confidence. They dive into Cleveland's recurring inability to sustain a full 48 minutes, the growing reliance on fourth-quarter comebacks, and whether that approach is masking deeper issues. The conversation explores signs of a talent regression compared to last season, a noticeable lack of forceful leadership in the locker room, and the lingering uncertainty surrounding Max Strus' extended absence. While the Cavs walked away with a win, Sands and Fedor question whether the habits on display are sustainable — or dangerous — once the playoffs arrive. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sundance feature programmer Ania Trzebiatowska joins the show to talk about curation as craft, responsibility, and intuition. From her roots in Poland to running Krakow's Off Camera festival, working in acquisitions at Visit Films, and programming U.S. and world documentary features at Sundance, Ania reflects on how taste is formed and why being pleasantly surprised when viewing submissions still matters most.We discuss the realities filmmakers obsess over, including who you know, timing, marketplace “success,” and why Vimeo analytics do not tell the full story. Ania breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes at Sundance, how programmers balance limited slots with thousands of film submissions, and why being the right fit matters more than trends or agendas.She shares why festivals need balance between urgent, heavy films and work that is entertaining, humane, and emotionally alive. Drawing from examples like André Is an Idiot and Gleason, Ania explains how character-driven storytelling can carry even the most difficult subjects. Advice to filmmakers: do your research, be clear about what you are making, and remember that programmers are rooting for you, even when the answer might still be no.What Movies Are You Watching?

Photo: Mrs. Crystal Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and Solte Santa, as portrayed by Colleen Payne, Qalch'ema Friedlander, and Jerry Payne, visit the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., Sunday, December 14, 2025. (Buffalo's Fire/Brian Bull) It's the holiday season with many families across Indian Country waiting for Santa's visit to reward all good children with presents. And while the mainstream depiction is of a jolly old elf who's white and decked out in a red, fur-lined suit, some Native Santas are inspiring yuletide cheer in their own ways. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire shadowed one across Oregon. At the Chifin Native Youth Center in Springfield, Oreg., a packed classroom welcomes Solte Santa, accompanied by Mrs. Claus, Peppermint the Elf, and others from the North Pole. Jerry Payne, the man behind the curly beard, explains his role. “'Solte' in Salish means 'warrior', so I wanted to honor that. And I'm a veteran myself. Every community has their own style of Santa so I wanted to make sure that the Indigenous Natives got to be represented as well.” Solte Santa has made nine appearances across Portland, Eugene, and other places this month, listening to kids' wish lists and posing for family photos. With a feathered bustle, candy cane staff, and festive beadwork, he contrasts sharply with the Coca-Cola Santa that's been widely iconic since the 1930s. But Payne says that's a plus. “The mall Santa or typical Santa that everybody knows like the Coca-Cola Santa … for whatever reason, kids are scared of that Santa. But I've had kids that … their parent would say that they would never come up to take a picture with me. Next thing you know, they're hugging me and jumping in my lap and we take a good picture. Their parents are crying because they never got a good picture with their kid.” A study involving an Oregon State University scholar looked at non-traditional Santas. Bori Csillag, Stirek assistant professor of management, said for many Father Christmases, spreading love and joy for the holidays surpassed the need to conform 100% to the mainstream depiction of Santa Claus. “They see the fit, they hear the calling in their heart, they know that they are able to portray their role successfully.” Besides Solte Santa, a First Nations dancer called Powwow Santa has been firing up social media, and there are many others across tribal communities, reminding people that the Christmas spirit exists for everyone. A Navajo children's television show returned this month with a holiday special. Jill Fratis reports. The “Navajo Highways” special is titled “Ya’ah’teeh Keshmish,” which is “Merry Christmas” in Navajo. It's the show's first full holiday themed episode. The creator of the series, filmmaker, and musician Pete Sands, says the show teaches Navajo language and culture. “Parts of it is my childhood, and part of it is how I wish my childhood was. It's a balance of both, and I think shining positivity on Indigenous cultures is important to do.” The series blends puppetry, storytelling, and Navajo humor, all set along the winding highways of the Navajo Nation. Sands says that a memory he had of a teacher using puppets to help children listen, gave him the idea to use them in his show. “Seen a teacher friend of mine who was trying to tell her first grade students to clean up, but they wouldn't listen to her, so she reached into her desk and she pulled out a hand puppet and started talking to her class, and they listened to her, through the puppet actually, and a lightbulb went off in my head like wait, maybe there's something to this. Maybe I can use this.” The holiday episode highlights traditional winter teachings, including family gatherings, gratitude, and the meaning of giving. Season two of the series begins production next year. Sands says there will be new puppets and new locations, but says the heart of the show remains the same: teaching children simple Diné words and phrases through everyday scenes and conversations. The “Navajo Highways” holiday special, and season one, is now streaming on the First Nations Experience (FNX) platform.

...in which we select the best bits from our second Cumbrian Christmas Cracker, a celebration of all things festive in the historic counties of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire north-of-the-Sands. In the company of historian and author Alan Cleaver; broadcaster and food historian John Crouch; journalist and historian Sue Allan; and musicians Carolyn Francis (fiddle and vocals) and Mike Willoughby (vocals, bouzouki and melodeon), we enjoy a miscellany of nostalgic readings, letters, poems, music and dialect – all recorded live at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick. Join Canon Hardwicke Rawnsley skating on Derwent Water; 'Hunsup through the wood' with the Christmas waits; take a gastronomic journey through Cumbrian culinary history starting with the Romans and their winter Satarnalia; and enter the weird world of wholesome lectures and gymnastics (no rice! no sugar!) at Blennerhasset. Advancing in time, we hear letters from the 1914 Christmas Truce; attempt to make a turkey from breadcrumbs; head 'Down t'Lonnin'' with Sue; then descend on Keswick for the Old Folk's Christmas Do before playing out with the raucous 'Bleckel' Merry Neet'. ...All this and more in the penultimate Countrystride of 2025, before Mark signs off revealing the toys of his childhood, and why Santa won't be downing any bitter this year. Mark and Dave extend to all listeners a very Happy Christmas.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor discuss the Cavs' latest disappointing loss falling 127-111 to the struggling Chicago Bulls. Cleveland has tried nearly everything to snap out of its funk — player-led meetings, lineup tweaks and messaging shifts — yet the same issues persist on both ends of the floor. The conversation centers on a hard question the Cavs can no longer avoid: what evidence actually supports the “defense-first” label they continue to lean on? Sands and Fedor push back on comparisons to teams that eventually played their way out of early-season struggles and into deep playoff runs, noting that this Cleveland roster has yet to show it can consistently defend, let alone impose itself as an elite team. Until that proof shows up, the Cavs aren't unlucky or unfinished — they're unresolved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Jimmy Watkins dig into the Cavaliers' growing inconsistency and lack of urgency, framing the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bulls as a revealing “Cavs vs. Cavs” moment. With Evan Mobley sidelined, the conversation sharpens around Jarrett Allen and the opportunity in front of him. This isn't just about filling minutes but whether Allen can anchor a team that continues to search for its baseline effort — this two-to-four week stretch presents a clear test of how much Allen can shape a winning outcome when the margin for error is minimal. Sands and Watkins also push for a change in the starting lineup to shift the opening dynamic and discuss why the Bulls are another valiant test for Cleveland. Learn more about your ad choices.

The right rituals—and the right conversations—can transform how your team collaborates.Strong collaboration starts with thoughtful practices and clear communication. As Molly Sands, Head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, emphasizes, the teams that thrive are the ones that regularly pause to align on what matters and how they're progressing. “You want to know if you're making progress,” she notes, “and you want ways to redirect early—before you're scrambling at the end.”Through her research with teams across Atlassian and around the world, Sands has seen how small, consistent habits—monthly goal reviews, transparent updates, shared spaces for spontaneous interaction—build alignment, psychological safety, and momentum. And in hybrid and distributed environments, she highlights how “bursty” collaboration patterns and intentional meeting design help teams move faster without burning out.In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams break down the rituals that make teamwork work, from OKR check-ins to collaboration hours to the rotating Chief Vibes Officer. No matter where your team sits, Sands shows how intentional communication unlocks connection, speed, and more satisfying ways of working together.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:43) - Measuring Collaboration the Right Way (05:35) - Training Leaders & Goal Rituals (07:49) - Creating Space for Spontaneous Work (11:20) - Making In-Person Time Count (11:44) - Three High-Impact Team Gatherings (14:00) - Supporting Diverse Communication Styles (16:08) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

The secret to effective teamwork and collaboration.To collaborate, we have to communicate. As Molly Sands knows, “The more that we can get on the same page, the more effective we are.”Sands is a behavioral scientist and the head of the Teamwork Lab at Atlassian, where she researches how teams can collaborate more effectively and efficiently, especially in distributed and hybrid work environments. As she's seen in her research and within her own team, “People can accomplish a lot more together when they work well together.” The key to unlocking that potential lies in communication that aligns people not just in their activity, but in their deeper goals and vision. “The best work happens when you start by asking why,” she says, “getting people to really understand: why is this a problem, why do we wanna solve it, and how are we uniquely positioned to do that? The more that we can map this out together, the more effective our teams tend to be.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sands and host Matt Abrahams discuss strategies for effective collaboration, from “page-led” meetings and asynchronous video messages to using AI as a collaborator. Whether your team is working face-to-face or across time zones, Sands' insights show how better communication is the key to better collaboration.Episode Reference Links:Molly SandsEp.241 Team Spirit: How to Make Group Work WorkConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:32) - How the Teamwork Lab Works (04:03) - Top Challenges for Teams (04:37) - Clarifying Goals & Alignment (07:19) - AI as a Collaborative Partner (09:25) - Atlassian's AI Onboarding Buddy (12:49) - Rethinking Meetings (15:58) - Three Types of Work Time (17:17) - Replacing Meetings with Asynchronous Video (20:02) - The Final Three Questions (24:11) - Conclusion  ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jacob Sands, MD, and Shailee Shah, MD, about considerations for diagnosing and managing Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), particularly in the context of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Dr Sands is associate chief of the Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology and the Oncology Medical Director of the International Patient Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, as well as an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr Shah is a clinical assistant professor of neurology (MS/neuroimmunology) at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois.  In our exclusive interview, Drs Sands and Shah discussed LEMS symptom identification, the importance of paraneoplastic panels for assessing neurologic dysfunction in patients with SCLC, the need for specific autoantibody testing, and what guidelines currently note as best practices for the diagnosis of this disease. 

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands and guest Spencer Davies break down why Cleveland's habits, effort level and approach simply don't match the expectations of a team that talks about contending but hasn't proven anything yet. It's a conversation built around what the Cavs need to fix before it's too late. They take a hard look at Sunday's loss to the Celtics. But they also delve into the bigger picture. The recurring slow starts, the lack of urgency from star players and the uncomfortable truth that the team's energy is often coming from its youngest, least-paid players. Sands and Davies examine why the Cavs' current mindset is dangerous — and how the same bad habits that show up in December become the reasons you get humbled in April and May.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands, stuck in late-night Atlanta traffic, turns his car into a rolling think tank. He breaks down the Cavs' 130-123 loss to the Hawks, which knocked Cleveland out of the NBA Cup and wonders how a team that just had a Thanksgiving recharge still looked like it needed a nap. From sloppy transition defense to a persistent energy problem, Sands calls out the patterns that keep tripping up the Cavaliers. As brake lights stretch for miles, Sands asks the uncomfortable question: why does this team need chaos to wake up? And seriously … how many red lights does it take to fix transition defense?

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, host Ethan Sands unpacks a Sunday night in Cleveland that felt like a celebration of the city's past, present, and future. From the Browns sparking early buzz with Shedeur Sanders' historic debut win to the warm nostalgia surrounding the returns of Tyronn Lue and Chris Paul's farewell tour, Rocket Arena was fully charged with energy and electricity. Against that backdrop, Sands dives into the Cavaliers' composed 120–105 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. He breaks down Cleveland's disciplined defensive game plan against James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, Donovan Mitchell's effortless scoring and leadership, and the continued evolution of De'Andre Hunter as a more confident and willing playmaker compared to his role in Atlanta.
