The Wisconsin Badgers just got thumped 31–7 by No. 2 Indiana on the road, dropping to 3–7 in a season that's testing everyone's patience — but it wasn't all doom and gloom. We break down Carter Smith's first start as the first true freshman QB to start for Wisconsin since 1991, his 45-yard touchdown strike to Lance Mason, the defense racking up five sacks on Heisman contender Fernando Mendoza, and how the game slipped away in the second half with just 23 total yards after halftime. We'll also talk about the scary Gideon Ituka injury and the positive early reports on his status. Then we pivot to basketball, where Wisconsin is off to a 3–0 start, blowing out Campbell, Northern Illinois, and Ball State behind big showings from John Blackwell, Nolan Winter, and Nick Boyd as the Badgers look like a legit Top-25 squad. Tap in for honest reaction, real context, and a little hope for where both programs go from here.

In 2008, one client went all in on silver.Convinced inflation would soar, governments would lose control, and precious metals were the only safe bet, he put everything into silver. And technically, he was right.

(02:12) In aanloop naar de verkiezingen zijn er eindeloos veel debatten, televisiespotjes en interviews met lijsttrekkers. Maar wie in de jaren '50, '60 en '70 in campagnetijd televisie keek, zag iets heel anders. Hoe is televisie in campagnetijd veranderd en wat zegt dat over hoe politici én omroepen naar de burger kijken en keken? We vragen het aan politiek historicus Solange Ploeg.    (18:58) In Venezuela wordt gevreesd voor een Amerikaanse inval – maar komt die er ook? En betekent dit dat we teruggaan naar de ‘Monroe-doctrine', de tijd waarin de Verenigde Staten zich naar believen mengden in Zuid-Amerika? Patricio Silva, emeritus-hoogleraar geschiedenis van Latijns Amerika, vertelt.    (30:36) Zangeres Roufaida speelt het nummer ‘Ken Ness' van haar debuutalbum Coming Up For Air.    (35:28) In de nieuwe tentoonstelling ‘Thuis in de 17de eeuw' in het Rijksmuseum wandel je van zonsopkomst tot zonsondergang door het dagelijks leven van toen. Theatermaker en vormgever Steef de Jong ontwierp het decor: vitrines omgetoverd tot kartonnen kamers, kijkdozen waarin je zelf even een 17de-eeuwer wordt en replica's van poppenhuizen. Wat vertelt dit over hoe mensen toen leefden? Steef is te gast en legt het uit.    (44:22) Op 29 oktober zijn de verkiezingen. In de ‘Politieke Tijdmachine' vragen we iedere week aan een andere gast: welke politicus uit het verleden verdient juist nu onze aandacht? Deze week vragen we dat aan politiek historicus Carla Hoetink. Haar keuze: Els Borst.    (53:12) Wie wint de Libris Geschiedenis Prijs 2025, en schreef daarmee het beste historische publieksboek? De kanshebbers zijn:    Arianne Baggerman - De storm die wij vooruitgang noemen    Janna Coomans – Dievenland    Erik de Lange - De laatste dagen van Barbarije    Maarten van Riel - Het verdriet van Tilburg    Stephan Steinmetz - De tien van Den Haag    We praten met de genomineerde auteurs en onze afgevaardigde in de jury, schrijver Abdelkader Benali vertelt waarom deze boeken genomineerd zijn. En er is livemuziek van Roufaida. Zij zingt ‘Silver Linings' en ‘Splendor' van haar debuutalbum Coming Up For Air.    (01:40:49) Juryvoorzitter Ronald van Raak maakt bekend wie de winnaar is van de Libris Geschiedenis Prijs 2025?    Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-26-oktober-2025  (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-26-oktober-2025)

Leila Rahimi, Marshall Harris and Mark Grote discussed a variety of Cubs-related topics in the 5 On It segment.

Wisconsin's 24–10 loss at Michigan may have added another “L” to the record, but it also gave us our first real look at Hunter Simmons running this Badger offense — and there's plenty to unpack. Simmons showed flashes of composure, accuracy, and leadership, even behind an offensive line that continues to struggle in protection. We'll break down what he did well, where the timing and reads still need work, and whether he's earned another start heading into the Iowa game next week at Camp Randall.Then we're getting into the decisions that had Badger fans fuming — from the conservative second-half play-calling to the late-game clock management that left timeouts on the board. Was Luke Fickell playing not to lose? Or did he simply not trust this offense yet? We'll dissect what it says about the current coaching mindset and whether adjustments are finally coming.And yes — there's still reason for optimism. The Wisconsin defense battled all afternoon, holding Michigan to just ten points in the first half and keeping the Badgers within reach until late in the fourth. We'll highlight the players who stood out, what Jim Leonhard (or Mike Tressel, depending on context) has cooking schematically, and why this performance could be a real turning point heading into the Big Ten West grind.It's not all doom and gloom — this one felt different. We're talking Simmons' poise, the coaching heat, and the defensive fight that might finally give this team a new identity.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome back the team behind the film "No Country for Old People"   About "No Country for Old People":   A filmmaker chronicles her mother's last 6 months in a 5-star nursing home exposing what is a national systemic, deadly, profit-over-people business model. No Country For Old People; a Nursing Home Exposé is a scorching documentary posed to set the long-term care industry, policy makers, and the country ablaze. Shining a much-needed light on what is truly a national human emergency.   No Country for Old People; a Nursing Home Exposé is a 3-part documentary that exposes the dark realities of neglect and abuse in nursing homes and throughout U.S. long-term care industry.   The film answers four questions: What happens. 2. How does it happen? 3. Why does it happen? 4. And how do we fix it?   The film highlights a systemic crisis - the result of corporate greed - that has been taking a devastating human toll within the walls of our nation's long-term care facilities for decades.   The film weaves personal loss with journalistic rigor, exposing a pattern of abuse that is enabled by profit-first models that include chronic understaffing, undertraining, and financial exploitation.   PERSONAL STORIES AND EMOTIONAL IMPACT:   The filmmaker's own experience with her mother along with other emotional testimonies emphasize the human cost of systemic failure and illustrate the severe consequences of poor nursing home care.   The film is both deeply personal and widely resonant — amplifying voices too often silenced and inviting viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about aging, policy, and accountability in America.   About Susie Singer Carter:   Susie Singer Carter is a multi-award-winning, Oscar qualified filmmaker, writer, director, producer, actor, podcast producer, host, and Caregiver Advocate. She is best known for writing, directing, and producing the 2018 Oscar qualified short film, My Mom and The Girl starring Valerie Harper in her final performance, writing and producing “Bratz the Movie” for Lionsgate, and co-producing “Soul Surfer” for Sony.   Susie also produces and hosts the podcast Love Conquers Alz – awarded BEST PODCAST 2020 by New Media Film Festival and is #4 on Feedspots' 2022 25 Best Alzheimer's Podcasts list. Susie is also the co-creator, co-writer, co-star, and director of the outrageous horror/comedy narrative podcast I Love Lucifer, nominated Best Audio Fiction 2023 by Indie Series Awards.   Susie wrote the screenplay, “RUN”, based on the book “Plain Jane” and is attached to direct in spring 2024.

Hey Straigtiolab Listeners, here's an episode of a new show, Silver Lining With The Old Gays, that we think you'll love. In today’s conversation, The Old Gays swing the closet door open on their coming out histories: from discovering their gay-hood and hard conversations with loved ones, to offering heartfelt advice for the next generation of LGBTQ+ folx. Whether inspired by underwear ads, Billy the Kid, or “sex with my psychologist,” their stories remind us that coming out isn’t defined by labeling your identity for others, but by the journey of personal discovery. New episodes drop every other Tuesday, listen and subscribe wherever you get podcasts. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What’s the secret to lasting friendships? How does queer community show up through the ebbs and flows of life? And what’s the REAL story behind the “YMCA” song? In the first episode of Silver Linings, The Old Gays dive into an essential part of queer life: chosen family. They discuss the vital love, support, and sense of belonging that community provides, especially during life's toughest moments. They open up about what “queer” means to them, how chosen family has impacted their lives, and how to maintain close bonds over time–including their love for each other! “We’ve come a long way, baby.” Family isn’t just what you’re born with; it’s the people who show up, shape you, and stick around. With over 300 years of combined wisdom, indulge in the raunchy reflections and personal silver linings. New episodes every other week, where the laughs are as big as the personalities!
