In Part Two of our conversation, legendary Serbian water polo goalkeeper and Olympic champion Branislav Mitrović shifts from player to mentor, revealing his philosophy and approach as a coach. He talks about how he prepares goalkeepers for the highest level, what skills and mindsets he prioritizes, and why the role of the goalie has become even more crucial under modern water polo rules. Branislav shares valuable recommendations for young goalkeepers, explains the right and wrong ways to select future goalies, and challenges coaches to rethink how they assign this vital position early in a player's career. In his words, “Without a good goalkeeper, you can't win anything.” We also explore why goalkeepers remain underrated, his thoughts on how talent identification should happen, and — in a fun moment — whether he remembers playing against anyone from Germany. Plus, we finish with five rapid-fire questions for Branislav, resulting in some surprising and insightful answers.

The US Open rages on, and journalist Lukas Weese joins the show to recap all the action from New York. The Athletic Live Reporter discusses the tense exchange between Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko, Tommy Paul's late night victory, and Coco Gauff's ability to fight through her service woes. Weese also explains why knocking off Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will be a tall task for the field, but if anyone can do it, it's American Ben Shelton. The journalist also breaks down Iga Swiatek's close victory in Round 2, Karolina Muchova's eclectic game, and the Jasmine Paolini being the subject of one of the greatest sports photos ever. And Weese analyzes Novak Djokovic's performance through two matches, and debates whether the Serbian can contend for the US Open title. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Dive into this epic conversation on the Mike Drop Podcast with Green Beret legend Mark Giaconia. A 20-year Army veteran who traded infantry boots for Special Forces grit, Mark opens up about his raw reaction to 9/11—burning with jealousy as Fifth Group charged into Afghanistan, only to carve his own pinnacle in Iraq's brutal ops. But before the GWOT glory, he takes us back to the forgotten chaos of Bosnia in the late '90s, where peacekeeping turned into high-stakes intel gathering: embedding in remote villages, renting houses amid fresh war scars, and dodging tense standoffs with Serbian cops who grabbed their weapons at the sight of an American. From concealed pistols and civilian rides to wild encounters—like spotting a Beirut bombing fugitive in a roadside eatery or monitoring Russian convoys on the brink of World War III—Mark's stories pulse with the raw edge of undercover life in a powder keg. We geek out on metal shredding (check Patreon for the deep dive), philosophy from Socrates to Nietzsche, and his time-travel wish to homestead in colonial Connecticut. Whether it's surviving Ranger School's 200+ day grind, losing 40 pounds in the suck, or bonding with locals over slivovitz amid genocide echoes, this episode hooks you with unfiltered warrior wisdom, historical twists, and the unexamined life's brutal truths. Don't miss Mark's insights on human nature, founding principles, and why the Balkans' hospitality hides a world of shadows—perfect fuel for any Mike Drop fan craving real talk from the front lines.

'Cat's Cry' filmmaker Sanja Zivkovic sits down with VIFF Festival Programmer & Program Lead, Sonja Baksa, to talk about her global career spanning all the way from SFU's Burnaby campus to Serbia. 'Cat's Cry' first fell into Zivkovic's lap when the son of famous Serbian filmmaker Goran Paskaljević, Vlad Paskaljević, approached her with the possibility of reviving this moving screenplay following Goran Paskaljević's passing in September 2020. The work, 'Cat's Cry', is the true story of a couple fighting for custody of their granddaughter, who has been diagnosed with a unique condition called cat's cry syndrome. Zivkovic walks us through her approach to balancing male and female perspectives in features, her journey directing for a work she hasn't written herself (a first for the filmmaker), and how experiencing motherhood at the time of the film's conception influenced her approach to character work.

We kick off the show with the long-standing feud: Leroy vs. Technology, now at a crushing 0-90 after Leroy once again can't log into his computer. The Marlins rally to take the game last night over the Astros and head to Atlanta for a big five-game stretch. Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup makes a stop in Finland with our resident South Florida Polar Bear, Niko Mikola, and Tobin imagines a hilarious scenario where Finnish hockey players are running the government. We also take a quick peek at tonight's NFL preseason action. In Hour Tua, we look ahead to the Dolphins' joint practices with the Bears. Much to Leroy's frustration, Tobin dives into the depth chart, noting Darren Waller listed as the starting tight end and raising concerns about Cam Smith's low placement among the cornerbacks. Then, Reggie Bush's mysterious beef with Mike McDaniel sparks discussion, before we wrap the hour with more of Leroy's Aaron Rodgers slander and Joe Flacco embracing being “old but healthy.” Things get heated in Hour 3 as a toast debate breaks out—Leroy and Brittney team up to argue it's not strictly a breakfast food, while Tobin stands alone with the chat chiming in. Dolphins rookie Patrick Paul shines in camp and lets us know he loves talking smack. With Leroy and JFig off enjoying the high life, Tobin and Brittney hold down the fort and break down Canes camp updates, what to expect from Miami this year, and whether Carson Beck can live up to the hype. Tobin also gets giddy over Nico Jović sailing off to join the Serbian national team. We wrap the show with more Marlins talk and whether the post-Yankees sweep hype was premature—Brittney questions it, but Tobin stays optimistic. Leroy finally returns from rubbing elbows, and we react to Teddy Bridgewater signing with the Bucs after being let go by Miami Northwestern—a tough break all around. And finally, it's Goosies or No Goosies featuring Nancy Lieberman dunking on Jeff Teague over Caitlin Clark, Malik Beasley's Snapchat antics, and the Tkachuk father-son trio landing the NHL video game cover.

Then we somehow get into a discussion about whether or not toast is exclusively a breakfast food, Leroy and Brittney join forces against Tobin, with the peanut gallery joining in from the chat. And Patrick Paul a standout in Miami Dolphins training camp says he LOVES talking smack!

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela cover everything from bad movie choices to the strangest headlines of the week. It starts with the gang trading stories about accidentally recommending movies that scar people for life (yes, a Serbian film comes up more than once) and how Netflix by mail once turned family movie night into a nightmare. From there, they rip into "South Park's" latest episode, the White House's humorless reaction, and why leaning into the joke is always the better play. The nostalgia hits hard with a run through 1990s buddy-cop classics, Adam Sandler comedies, and why movies used to be fun before every script came with a checklist. Then the headlines get weirder: a Michigan Walmart stabbing, a man arrested for sniffing strangers at Nordstrom Rack, WNBA games stopping over wigs, turtles smuggled through TSA, and a road trip that ends with a crave case and regret. Today's guests on "Normal World" include Gerard Michaels and Jimmy McCartney. Sponsors Chefman Ice & Slushie Machines Visit https://chefman.com/pages/normal-sponsorship and use PROMO CODE NORMAL.

She was the daughter of Scanderbeg, Albania's national hero. She married Stefan, Prince of Serbia, a kinsman of Scanderbeg who sought refuge in his court. Stefan, a gentle, God-fearing man, had been blinded by the Turkish Sultan. Princess Angelina, loving him despite his loss of his vision and his worldly kingdom, married him with her father's blessing. Together they had two sons, George and John. When their sons were grown, Albania was ravaged by an invasion of the Turks. Stefan, with Angelina and their sons, fled to Italy, where they lived until his repose in 1468. The widowed Angelina buried her husband in his Serbian homeland and devoted her remaining years to good works. Her elder son George gave up his princely title and entered monastic life. John married but died without children in 1503. When Angelina had outlived her two sons as well as her husband she too entered monastic life. She was buried with her sons at Krušedol monastery in northern Serbia. There her miracle-working relics are venerated to this day, and a service is held each year in her memory. She, her husband and her two sons are all glorified as saints of the Church.

In 2019, a woman was spotted dancing on the street in Belgrade, Serbia. Rumors spread about her carrying a knife and chasing people, and bystanders were warned not to look her in the eye. Then in 2022, the video was shared on TikTok and it started an entire new type of digital lore, one that terrified those of us who believed we might encounter her out at night.

This week's show features stories from Radio Deutsche-Welle, France 24, NHK Japan, and Radio Havana Cuba. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr250718.mp3 (29:00) From GERMANY- The death toll in Gaza as presented by the Hamas Ministry of Health is often reported with disclaimers in the western media suggesting they are exaggerated. Recent research from the University of London, led by Professor Michael Spagat, says the Hamas figures are short by 40%, meaning that the current death toll of Gazans is 100,000, or 4% of the entire population. Britain and France have agreed to coordinate their nuclear weapons without US involvement. This pact, known as the Northwood Declaration, is discussed by Scottish Professor Phillips O'Brien- he describes the pact as a decoupling from the US without saying it. From FRANCE- First a press review about the announcement by French President Macron that to be free we must be feared and a large increase in military spending. A press review on the 30th anniversary of the massacre of 8000 muslim men and boys in Srebrenica by Serbian forces during the Bosnian war. International comments after Israel dropped nearly 500 bombs on Syria, including Damascus, as punishment for battling with Druze forces who are Israeli allies. From JAPAN- Japanese electronics firm Panasonic opened a $4 billion plant in Kansas building batteries for electric vehicles. Australian PM Anthony Albanese met with Chinese President Xi during a 6 day visit to the country- they agreed to treat each other equally, though they critiqued each others large military exercises. A new law banning children under 16 from using social media in Australia comes into effect in December. From CUBA- 30 countries are meeting at a summit in Colombia to find a way to stop the war on Gaza- the collection of countries is called the Hague Group and were addressed by Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for Occupied Palestine.

Proclus was the uncle of Hilarius; both were from Kallippi in Asia during the reign of Trajan. When Proclus was brought to be tried as a Christian, the judge asked him 'Of what race are you?' Proclus answered 'I am of the race of Christ, and my hope is in my God.' When the judge threatened to torture him, he said 'When you are afraid to transgress the Emperor's commands and risk falling into temporal punishment, how much more do we Christians fear to transgress against God's commands and fall into eternal torment!' When Proclus was given over to torture, his nephew Hilarius came forward and proclaimed 'I too am a Christian.' After torture, both were condemned to death; Proclus was crucified and Hilarius beheaded.   Imagine how the Orthodox Church would benefit if, when we were asked 'Of what race are you?' the first answer that came to mind was not 'I am Greek, Russian, Serbian...' but 'I am of the race of Christ!'

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape.  Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF.  Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape.  The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol",  which disavows the entire IMF.  Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news.  The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again.  They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code.  But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent.  The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go.
