On this week's episode of Local Legends Eleanor chats with Sunday Times bestselling author Sarah Clegg.We first met Sarah last year, when she was one of the guests at our Three Ravens Christmas Feast. Sarah had just published her book The Dead of Winter, all about the origins and changing lore of the dark side of Christmas.Sarah has a PhD in ancient history from the University of Cambridge, and you'd struggle to find another person with such an encyclopaedic knowledge and clear passion for Medieval Romances. In addition to The Dead of Winter, she's the author of Women's Lore: 400 Years of Sirens, Serpents and Succubi. We're speaking just ahead of the publication of her latest book Perilous Enchantment: The True History of Faeries. Perilous Enchantment is a meticulously researched history and travelogue which takes us from elf fires in Iceland to a stream in Cottingley and even a fairy ball in Los Angeles. We talk about the book and her research and the shift in fairy narratives, from dangerous and seductive to childish and whimsical, to explore why stories of the fae continue to fascinate us today. It's a conversation which spans medieval chivalric romances, spicy romantasy, nostalgia and some of the world's most magical places.Learn more about Sarah at https://www.sarahclegg.com, and you can keep up with all her adventures on Instagram @readingartefacts.About Three Ravens

Surviving 9/11: A Story of Providence, Courage & RemembranceIn this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie meet with Daniel Geraghty, who shares his deeply personal and harrowing account of surviving the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.Daniel was a newlywed, transitioning from military life into the corporate world, and working near the World Trade Center. On that September morning, he was preparing to make his way to Tower 2 for business. A seemingly insignificant series of delays—including an unexpected breakfast with his mother-in-law and spilled coffee on his shirt and tie—changed the course of his life. Those few extra minutes meant Daniel was not inside the South Tower when it was struck at 9:03 a.m.When Daniel emerged from the subway near the World Trade Center, he encountered chaos unlike anything he had ever experienced. Sirens filled the streets. Paper rained through lower Manhattan. Looking toward the Towers, Daniel witnessed the North Tower engulfed in fire and people desperately signaling from above.Then the second plane struck.Daniel recalls the tremendous fireball, the concussion, flying debris, and thousands of people running for their lives. Believing he might die, he still found himself unable to ignore a woman who had fallen in the stampede—until another stranger appeared, lifted her from the street, and carried her to safety. It is an image of humanity and courage that has remained with Daniel ever since.Daniel's story is more than an eyewitness account of one of America's darkest days. It is a powerful reflection on survival, providence, service, courage, and the weight of being given another day. For thousands, September 11 remains a story preserved only in remembrance. Daniel knows how close he came to becoming one of them—and why he remains profoundly grateful that his own story continued.In This Episode, You'll Hear: The seemingly ordinary delay Daniel believes saved his life. His transition from the Army into corporate life in New York City. What Daniel witnessed as he emerged from the subway near the World Trade Center. His firsthand account of the moments before and after the second plane struck. The internal struggle between his military instinct to run toward danger and the realization that he needed to get away. The unforgettable acts of courage and humanity Daniel witnessed in the streets. The emotional burden carried by those who survived. Daniel's reflections on gratitude, remembrance, and why September 11 must never be forgotten. This is an intense, moving conversation about a day that changed America forever—and one man's extraordinary experience of being just minutes away from a very different fate.Listen in as Daniel Geraghty takes Marcus and Melanie back to September 11, 2001, sharing what he saw, what he survived, and the moments that continue to live with him more than two decades later.Support Dan:-  IG:  https://www.instagram.com/dan_getready?igsi=c2R3MjlhN2p0OWg3- Order his book here —> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MJTCQKD?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_mwn_dp_4245V5E8YA3SXW7RTZG4&bestFormat=trueSupport TNQ  - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13  -  https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquitSponsors:  - Navyfederal.org     - Dripdrop.com/TNQ- vinted.com/TNQ  - davidprotein.com/TNQ- quo.com/TNQ   - mengotomars.com [Team Never Quit]  - bubsnaturals.com [Promo code TNQ]   - mizzenandmain.com   [Promo code: TNQ20]   - masterclass.com/TNQ  - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ]  - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes  - meetfabiric.com/TNQ  - Prizepicks (TNQ)   - armslist.com/TNQ   -  PXGapparel.com/TNQ  - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ   - shipsticks.com/TNQ   - stopboxusa.com {TNQ}   - Tonal.com [TNQ]  - greenlight.com/TNQ  - drinkAG1.com/TNQ  - Hims.com/TNQ

Watch That Jawn Podcast — The Odyssey ReviewIn this episode, Mary and James review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and break down how the film reimagines one of the most famous stories in Western literature. They discuss the Trojan War, the Trojan Horse, Xenia, the cursed House of Atreus, and Nolan's choice to ground the myth in realism by minimizing the presence of gods. They also dive into the performances, especially Matt Damon as Odysseus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, and Tom Holland as Telemachus, while debating casting choices, modern language, and the film's practical effects and IMAX spectacle. Along the way, they connect the movie to Greek mythology, classical art, and other adaptations like Troy, Percy Jackson, Epic: The Musical, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Other major moments include:Why the Trojan Horse works as both strategy and cultural commentaryWhether Odysseus is still a hero after the destruction of TroyThe emotional weight of Calypso's island and Odysseus's memory lossThe terrifying encounters with Polyphemus, the Laestrygonians, Circe, the Sirens, Scylla, and CharybdisPenelope's strength, wit, and refusal to surrender her throneThe final return to Ithaca, the suitors, and Odysseus's bloody reckoningThe hosts close by ranking the film highly and praising its scale, artistry, and ambition, while noting that its sound mix is best experienced carefully depending on how much dialogue you want to catch.Why it works:it combines epic-scale spectacle with a deeply emotional homecoming story, which keeps the audience hooked through both wonder and catharsis.Key takeawaysNolan's version makes mythology feel grounded and human.Penelope is portrayed as powerful, strategic, and fully aware of her reign.The film's practical effects and IMAX production elevate the world-building.The Odyssey remains timeless because it's really about consequence, memory, and home.Episode verdictA bold, immersive, and conversation-starting adaptation that the hosts both admire and dissect.Social Media:https://www.instagram.com/watchthatjawn/https://www.tiktok.com/@watchthatjawnpodc 

Send us Fan MailThe One Virtue That Makes All the Others WorkDid you catch The Odyssey in theaters? I went with my daughter and my honey a couple weeks ago, and Christopher Nolan's version got me thinking about one scene in particular — Odysseus, tied to the mast of his own ship, choosing to hear the Sirens' song without letting it destroy him. That single choice is one of the oldest stories we have about self-control, and it's where I want to take you this week: temperance. Not the Prohibition-era, no-fun version — the real one, one of the four cardinal virtues, sitting right alongside courage, justice, and wisdom.This episode is the Siren Song of Your Cravings (And How to Outsmart It)In this episode I speak to where temperance actually comes from (hint: it's Latin for "the right amount, not too much, not too little"), why discretion and discipline live inside it, and how building my own "mast" — the pantry I don't stock, the friend I text before the hard moment, the lunch I pack before I even leave the house — beats white-knuckle willpower every time. I bring the Maesters, in Homer, the Stoics, Ryan Holiday, and Jud Brewer to make my case. In this episode of Sirens, Cravings, and the Art of Saying No Quote of the Week"Temperance puts wood on the fire, meal in the barrel, flour in the tub, money in the purse, credit in the country, contentment in the house, clothes on the back, and vigor in the body." — Benjamin FranklinCitations·       Homer, The Odyssey (epic poem, source for the Sirens/mast story I talk about)·       The Odyssey (2026 film), directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Tom Holland·       Cicero, on translating the Greek sōphrosynē into Latin temperantia·       C.S.

The sirens are sounding and the U.S. midterms are approaching—but are the markets actually worried? On this episode of The European Market Brief, host Mark Longo is joined by Russell Rhoads of Indiana University, Matt Koren of Eurex and Tom Shuttlewood of STOXX to examine the approaching U.S. midterm elections through a European derivatives lens. The crew breaks down what the VSTOXX term structure is telling us about election risk, how volatility has behaved around previous midterms and whether traders may actually be too focused on November. They also explore current options positioning, downside protection, European defense and financials, industrials and semiconductors, currency hedging, defined-outcome strategies and the growing role of retail traders in European derivatives. Plus, they discuss Eurex overnight liquidity and how traders can potentially react to election results while much of the U.S. market is closed. And in a fitting twist, actual tornado sirens interrupt the conversation as severe weather rolls through the Midwest. The weather may be stormy, but the volatility markets remain surprisingly calm.

Problems from severe weather extend from the Chicago area to eastern Ohio. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

"The Delicious Itch" is a Dharma talk and brief meditation inspired by the Sirens in The Odyssey and a lovely Instagram post I saw by a young man named Esteban. It's about the persistent voice insisting that happiness exists somewhere other than here. The Sirens sound remarkably like Māra to me. They don't have to drag us away from our lives. They only have to tempt us enough to keep listening. So, in this talk we explore craving, regret, papañca, impermanence, Māra, and the Buddhist practice that lets us recognize the song without following it. I hope you enjoy the talk, and I think I'm done doing talks on The Odyssey now. Maybe.https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com

Homer’s epic The Odyssey—retold in this summer’s blockbuster—is built around one longing: to get home. The Greeks even had a word for it: nostos, or “homecoming.” It’s where we get the word “nostalgia”—literally, the ache of home. For ten years, Odysseus fights his way past hostile gods just to reach Ithaca—Poseidon, the Sirens, the Cyclops, and more. Here’s the difference: we don’t have to fight our way home. We just have to find our way back.

主播：Flora（中国）+ 梅莉（法国） 音乐：Apple And Cinnamon最近，年度史诗级大片（epic blockbuster）《奥德赛》（The Odyssey）终于上映了（hit theaters）。不过，电影上映之后，一些网友却表示：“画面确实很震撼……但是剧情看得有点懵？”其实，不光是中国观众会有这种感觉，甚至一些英语母语者（English speaker）也觉得《奥德赛》有点难懂（find it confusing）。所以这期节目，我们没有 spoilers（剧透）电影，而是先给大家补充几个非常重要的背景。知道这些之后，再去看电影，很多原本让人一头雾水的地方，可能就会突然变得清晰起来。01. The Odyssey Wasn't Originally a Movie 《奥德赛》最初根本不是一部电影看《奥德赛》之前，首先要知道一件事：《奥德赛》最初既不是电影，也不是小说，而是一部 ancient Greek epic poem（古希腊史诗）。这部作品大约三千年前诞生，传统上被认为是( be traditionally attributed to )由古希腊诗人Homer（荷马）创作的。它也是今天依然被人们阅读的最古老的故事之一。而对于很多西方人来说，《奥德赛》并不是一部“突然出现的电影”，而是从小就听过、学过的经典故事。很多西方国家的孩子在学校里都会接触Homer以及《奥德赛》。这一点，其实很像中国孩子从小就会接触《西游记》。所以，当电影里出现Odysseus、Athena或者其他人物时，很多西方观众可能根本不需要电影重新介绍他们。They already know who they are（他们早就知道这些人物是谁了）。而这也正是一些中国观众看《奥德赛》时容易产生“信息差”的地方。02. Greek Mythology Is Everywhere 希腊神话，其实就在我们身边《奥德赛》背后的整个世界，都建立在一个非常重要的文化体系之上：Greek mythology（希腊神话）。这可不是一个只有《奥德赛》才会出现的东西。Greek mythology is everywhere in Western culture——books, movies, video games, even company names（书籍、电影、电子游戏，甚至公司名称）。《奥德赛》中会出现gods（众神）、goddesses（女神）、Titans（泰坦）、Cyclopes（独眼巨人）、Sirens（海妖），以及各种各样的神话生物和怪物。对于很多西方孩子来说，已经是文化常识(general knowledge)了。比如大家非常熟悉的运动品牌Nike，其实就来自希腊神话中的Nike——the goddess of victory（胜利女神）。再比如，我们英语里说的“地图册”是atlas。这个词同样来自希腊神话：Atlas是一个被惩罚、必须永远扛着天空的Titan（泰坦巨人）。所以，当你在英语世界里看到一些看似普通的单词、品牌名称或者文学表达（literary expressions）时，它们背后有时候藏着的，可能就是几千年前的希腊神话。所以，真正看懂《奥德赛》，有时候并不只是看懂剧情，而是要先打开这扇通往Greek mythology（希腊神话）的大门。03. Why Is It Called “Odyssey”? “Odyssey”为什么成了英语单词？除了是一部史诗的名字，odyssey这个词本身也已经进入了英语词典，成为了一个我们今天依然会使用的普通英语单词。它通常指的是：A long journey full of challenges and adventures（一次充满挑战和冒险的漫长旅程）。不过，odyssey和普通的journey（旅程）还是不太一样。Not every trip is an odyssey. An odyssey changes you.一次普通的旅行可能只是从A地去B地，但一段真正的odyssey，往往意味着你在这段旅程中经历了困难、挑战和意想不到的事情，最终也因此成为了一个不一样的人。所以，我们完全可以把这个词用在现实生活中。比如：Learning Chinese has been quite an odyssey.学习中文，就是一段漫长而充满挑战的旅程。又或者：Starting a business is an odyssey.创业，也可能是一场充满挑战的人生旅程。所以，当英语母语者听到odyssey这个词时，他们想到的往往不只是“旅行”，而是一段transformative journey（改变一个人的旅程）。而这其实也正是《奥德赛》这个故事最核心的含义之一：Odysseus经历的从来不只是一场漫长的旅途，他在这段旅程中不断面对危险、诱惑和选择，也在一次次经历中发生改变。04. Why Does The Odyssey Feel So Hard to Understand? 为什么很多人会觉得《奥德赛》难懂？很多人觉得《奥德赛》不好懂，还有一个非常重要的原因——里面出现的大量人物和生物，对很多中国观众来说可能非常陌生（unfamiliar）。但对西方观众来说，他们早就知道这些角色来自哪里。The Odyssey is not a superhero movie. It's based on Greek mythology(希腊神话).所以电影里的很多人物，并不是一个个突然出现的陌生角色，而是来自一个庞大的神话体系。比如：gods（众神）,goddesses（女神）,Titans（泰坦）,Cyclopes（独眼巨人）,Sirens（海妖）,以及各种各样的神话生物和怪物。而这也意味着，《奥德赛》里有很多情节，如果不了解这些文化背景(cultural background)，就很容易觉得：“这个人为什么突然出现？他为什么这么生气？他们为什么这么怕这个神？”但如果你知道这些人物背后的故事，就会发现，电影里的很多冲突其实都有自己的文化逻辑（Cultural Logic）。接下来，我们就来看看《奥德赛》里一个非常重要、却很容易被忽略的规则——Xenia。这个词甚至可以说是理解很多剧情的关键。05. Zeus' Law: The Most Important Rule “宙斯法则”到底是什么？如果说《奥德赛》里的怪物和冒险构成了故事的表面，那么rules（规则）则是理解这个故事非常重要的一层。其中有一条规则，我们可能第一次听说：Xenia。Xenia可以理解为Guest friendship（宾客之谊），也就是古希腊非常重要的sacred hospitality（神圣的待客之道）。在古希腊，陌生人来到你家，并不是简单地“客气一下”就够了，而应以神圣之礼相待 （be considered sacred），一个陌生人来到家中，主人应该先给他食物，让他休息、照顾好他，然后再询问：“你是谁？从哪里来？”也就是说，hospitality（待客之道）并不只是good manners（礼貌），而是一种神圣的责任。那么，为什么大家都必须遵守这套规则呢？因为在古希腊人的观念中，你根本不知道眼前这个陌生人是谁。Anyone could be sent by Zeus.也许他就是宙斯派来的客人。所以，如果你不好好招待客人，不仅仅是“没礼貌”，甚至可能是在冒犯（offend）众神之王。因此，这套规则有时也会被理解为Zeus's law（宙斯法则）。这也是为什么《奥德赛》里有一些冲突，看起来可能只是“主人为什么不让客人进来”“为什么一定要好好招待陌生人”，但放在古希腊文化背景中，这些行为的意义完全不一样。所以，下次再看《奥德赛》时，如果发现人物突然强调“客人”“招待”“食物”“庇护”这些事情，就要意识到：这背后可能不只是待客礼仪，而是Xenia在发挥作用。06. The Trojan Horse 特洛伊木马为什么这么有名？说到《奥德赛》背后的故事，还有一个几乎所有人都听过的名字：The Trojan Horse（特洛伊木马）。即使没有读过Greek mythology，很多人也听过这个故事。希腊人长期无法攻下特洛伊城，于是假装撤退（retreat），留下了一匹巨大的木马。特洛伊人以为这是希腊人留下的礼物，于是把木马搬进了城。然而到了晚上，躲在木马里的士兵偷偷出来，打开城门，最终帮助希腊人攻陷了特洛伊。这个故事之所以流传至今，是因为Trojan Horse早已经不只是一个神话故事，而成为了英语里的一个固定表达。如今，“特洛伊木马”一词指一种隐藏在看似无害（harmless）之物内部的危险事物。也就是说，某个东西表面上看起来完全无害，甚至像一份礼物，但里面却隐藏着危险，我们就可以把它比作一个Trojan Horse。最常见的例子可能就是电脑里的“木马病毒”。英语里直接叫：Trojan。因为这种恶意软件往往会伪装成正常的软件或文件，先骗你打开，然后偷偷进入电脑。所以，当你听到有人说：It's a Trojan Horse.他可能说的根本不是一匹木马，而是在提醒你：Be careful—there's something dangerous hiding inside.（小心，里面可能藏着危险。）07. The Monsters Aren't Really Monsters 怪物其实不只是怪物《奥德赛》里有大量令人印象深刻的怪物，但有意思的是，它们在故事中的作用，并不只是“制造恐怖”。这些怪物并非真正意义上的“怪物”，它们实则为某种象征（symbols)也就是说，这些怪物往往代表着人类面对的某种欲望、弱点或者困境。Cyclops 独眼巨人：野蛮与文明的冲突。首先是非常经典的Cyclops（独眼巨人）。在故事里，Cyclops当然是一个只有一只眼睛的巨大怪物，但它所代表的远不止外表。它象征着brutality（野蛮）、selfishness（自私），以及对文明规则（rules of civilization）的拒绝。Sirens 海妖：最危险的东西，有时恰恰最诱人另一个大家非常熟悉的角色是Sirens（海妖）。海妖最有名的就是迷人的歌声。她们不会拿着武器追杀你，而是用美妙的歌声让你主动走向危险。所以：真正危险的东西，有时候并不是因为它看起来可怕，而恰恰是因为它太tempting（诱人）了。所以在现代英语和文化中，人们有时也会用siren或者siren song来形容一种让人难以抗拒、却可能带来危险的诱惑。甚至有人会把现代社会中的social media（社交媒体）比作Sirens：Social media is like the Sirens—always calling for your attention, always tempting you to keep scrolling (诱惑你耍手机).不得不说，这个比喻放到今天实在太贴切了。你本来只想刷五分钟，结果一个视频接着一个视频，最后根本停不下来。Scylla & Charybdis：左右都是危险除了Cyclops和Sirens，《奥德赛》里还有一对非常有名的危险：Scylla and Charybdis。一个是可怕的海怪，另一个则是危险的漩涡。更麻烦的是，你往往很难同时避开它们。正如故事中的情况：避开（Avoid）其中一个，但却直接驶向另一个。所以英语里后来就有了一个非常有意思的表达：Between Scylla and Charybdis用来形容一种左右都是危险、进退两难的处境。这和我们中文里的“两害相权取其轻”有一点相似——当两种选择都存在风险时，你只能权衡之后，选择损失相对较小的那个。所以，《奥德赛》里的这些怪物，其实并不只是故事里的“怪兽”。它们也可以被看作人类在漫长人生旅途中不断遇到的各种困难：brutality、temptation、fear、difficult choices……而这也让《奥德赛》的故事在几千年之后，依然能够被现代人理解。08. What Is The Odyssey Really About? 《奥德赛》真正讲的是什么？很多人第一次听到《奥德赛》的故事，可能会觉得：这不就是一个充满怪物、战争和冒险的故事吗？但如果真正理解了这个故事，你会发现，《奥德赛》并非讲述冒险（adventures）的故事——它实则是在讲述寻找归途的故事。奥德修斯（Odysseus）经历了战争、怪物、风暴、诱惑和背叛，面对过无数危险。但无论经历什么，他真正想做的事情其实始终没有改变：He wants to go home.这里的home也不只是一个地理意义上的“家”。它代表的是他真正想回去的地方，以及他想重新找回的生活、身份和人与人之间的连接。所以，The Odyssey isn't about finding a new world. It's about finding your way home.这句话其实非常适合用来理解整部作品。而有意思的是，三千年过去了，odyssey这个词依然活跃在现代英语里。因为我们每个人的人生，也都可能经历属于自己的odyssey。有人经历一段漫长的求学之旅，有人经历创业，有人离开家乡去陌生的城市生活，也有人在人生低谷之后重新找到自己的方向。这些经历都不只是简单的journeys（旅程）。They change you.这或许也是《奥德赛》能够流传近三千年的原因，并非因为其中的怪物（monsters），也非因为那些战役（battles），而是因为每个人都能感受到在最终找到归宿之前，经历一段漫长旅程的感觉。我们可能没有遇到Cyclops，没有被Sirens诱惑，也没有在海上漂泊十年，但我们每个人都可能经历一段漫长而充满挑战的旅程。而当我们最终回头看的时候，也许才会发现：The journey changed us.这才是odyssey这个词真正迷人的地方——它不仅是一段旅程，更是一段让你在经历之后，成为另一个自己的旅程。如果最近你准备去看《奥德赛》，希望今天这些背景知识，能够帮助你更好地理解电影。以后当我们再次听到odyssey这个词时，它就不仅仅是一部三千年前的史诗，也不仅仅是一部电影，而可以代表每一个人生命中那段充满挑战、成长和寻找自我的旅程。So, what's been the biggest odyssey in your own life?欢迎大家在评论区留言，分享你人生中经历过的那一段属于自己的Odyssey。

Send us Fan MailThis episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service is a powerful conversation with Isa-Marie—Lead EMT, healthcare professional, and founder of the Beauties and Boots Foundation.

Ken and Anthony trade old sports injury stories, including Ken recounting a wild college jump off a staircase at Akron that still affects his throwing motion today, before getting to the real topic: Ken's nerves about throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at tomorrow's 92.3 The Fan night at the Crushers. He insists he won't pull any viral stunt like other media members have done and just wants to get the ball to the plate cleanly, while debating with Anthony over pitch order and whether the mound is even dirt anymore. The guys also preview the fan night's promotions, including the grape race, and Ken jokes about signing every autograph if fans want one. A quick aside touches on the Cavs and Sirens sharing the spotlight this offseason after Cleveland didn't make a real run at LeBron.

Cleveland Sirens president Allison Howard joins Ken and Anthony to explain how a year-long community listening tour led to the Sirens name over bringing back the Rockers, and why the team intentionally broke away from Cavs colors and branding to build its own identity.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima bring in producer John to react to the unveiling of the Cleveland Sirens as the city's new WNBA franchise, praising the team's branding, logo, and unique identity while discussing the overwhelmingly positive response from fans. They also break down the Guardians' latest roster moves, including Angel Genao's promotion and the growing concern surrounding José Ramírez's health as Cleveland fights to stay in the playoff race. The conversation then shifts to college football, where the hosts examine Ohio State's No. 1 ranking in the preseason coaches poll and debate whether the Buckeyes' demanding schedule could lead to multiple losses despite remaining a legitimate national title contender. With the expanded playoff format in place, they argue that a few regular-season losses may no longer carry the same weight they once did.

Exploring Youth Sports Culture in Northeast Ohio The start of the school year is approaching, which used to mean that youth sports will be starting back up for the fall season. Now, however, young athletes have year-round competitive options ranging from recreational teams to travel and club sports, alongside seasonal middle school and junior high athletic programs. While organized sports offer a wide range of benefits for children including team building and exercise, they're also big business, particularly in Sandusky, Ohio. Crain's Cleveland Business reporter Joe Scalzo found that the youth sports industry in the area around Cedar Point brought in 57,000 athletes in 2022 and generated $66 million in visitor spending, with those numbers growing ever since. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we look what youth sports culture is like in Northeast Ohio today. Where does the money generated from these programs go, and how does this early, sometimes quite intense, involvement in athletics shape student athletes' experiences in high school, and beyond? We talk through these considerations along with the benefits team sports can bring to those involved. Guests: - Jessica Schneider, Girls Director of Coaching, Solon United Soccer Club - Joe Scalzo, Sports Business Reporter, Crain's Cleveland Business Cleveland WNBA and Guardians Update It's been a busy start to the week in professional sports, with Cleveland's WNBA team revealing their identity as the Cleveland Sirens on Tuesday, and and the Guardians making interesting moves including acquiring All-Star left-handed starting pitcher Foster Griffin ahead of the Major League Baseball trade deadline on Monday. On Wednesday's episode of the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, we dig into the details and Northeast Ohio's excitement surrounding basketball and baseball. Guest: - Joe Scalzo, Sports Business Reporter, Crain's Cleveland Business "Cleveland Curse: A Novel" Blends Fiction and Reality for Football Fans Cleveland Browns fans are no strangers to feeling cursed, having either lived through such unfortunate events as The Drive and The Fumble, or heard these real-life horror stories retold again and again while watching a winless season led by another trade or draft pick that just didn't quite measure up to the hype. How could our football team be so consistently bad over generations despite changes in roster, coaching, management, ownership and even stadium location? On Wednesday's edition of the "Sound of Ideas" hosted by Stephanie Haney, first-time author Dave Eifert talks about how he explores that question by blending fiction and reality to try to make sense—and light—of Cleveland's football shortfalls in his debut book, "Cleveland Curse: A Novel."

Ken and Anthony debate potential WNBA Cleveland team names ahead of the 10:30am reveal, leaning toward the Sirens over options like Waves, Crown, and a nostalgic push from Ken for the Bulldogs, while poking fun at how the branding teasers may have already given away the colors. Ken then doubles down on his stance that Todd Monken was right to praise Dillon Gabriel's effort in the open quarterback competition, insisting he won't cater a show to fans dead set on Shedeur Sanders regardless of performance. He and Anthony also review camp reps from Shedeur and Deshaun Watson, debating ball security and huddle communication, and gripe about the overuse of the word "dime" to describe unremarkable camp throws.

Ken and Anthony count down to the 10:30 reveal of Cleveland's new WNBA team name, questioning why every WNBA player and coach seems obligated to weigh in on political topics compared to other leagues, and defending Caitlin Clark's choice to stay focused on basketball rather than take public stances. They run through the finalist names again, including Breakers, Waves, Crown, and Riveters, before settling on the Sirens as the likely pick based on social teasers, with Ken diving into the mythological meaning of sirens as deadly lures on rocky coasts. The conversation turns to lingering frustration with the Guardians' branding, particularly the disliked logo, before Ken closes out the show insisting he's sleeping fine despite online criticism over his quarterback takes.

They discuss the Cleveland Browns' roster concerns, particularly how offensive line instability and quarterback play might impact their season performance. The conversation then shifts to the newly announced Cleveland Sirens WNBA franchise, examining the logo design and the team's branding strategy. 01:00 - Browns Offensive Line Issues 04:41 - Predicted Browns Win Total 06:17 - Cleveland Sirens WNBA Franchise

Send us Fan MailChristopher Nolan's THE ODYSSEY is already being celebrated for its breathtaking IMAX photography and epic scope—but is its greatest achievement something far more intimate?In this solo episode of The Fixate & Binge Podcast, Joe Curdy moves beyond the spectacle to explore the film's deeper philosophical questions. Is Odysseus' voyage really about crossing the Mediterranean... or confronting the man he has become? What does "coming home" truly mean after years of war, violence, moral compromise, and unbearable loss?Joe also offers an honest—and perhaps controversial—take on experiencing the film in 70mm IMAX versus standard digital IMAX, questioning whether the premium format ultimately enhanced or distracted from the emotional experience.From Matt Damon's quietly devastating performance to the haunting presence of Athena, Zeus' Law, survivor's guilt, and the unforgettable metaphor of the Sirens' "delicious itch," this episode explores why THE ODYSSEY may be Nolan's most reflective and emotionally resonant film to date.Sometimes the longest journey isn't across an ocean.It's the one that leads us back to ourselves.Thank you for listening!

We are wrapping up our 2026 Summer Blockbusters lineup with the grandest, most ambitious titan of the season: Nolan's massive, star-studded adaptation of The Odyssey. Shot entirely on new IMAX film cameras across global locations, this 172 minute mythic action epic is easily the biggest cinematic event of July.To fuel ourselves for a ten year journey home, Mackenzie is serving up a refreshing custom cocktail - The Lotus Flower - but it packs a punch strong enough to make you forget your own homeland.This week, we dive into how Nolan takes Homer's foundational, 3,000 year old poem and turns it into a high-stakes blockbuster. We discuss Matt Damon's fiercely physical performance as Odysseus, capturing a king who is a brilliant, wily strategist but entirely worn down by war and cosmic obstacles. We gush over the incredible ensemble cast, highlighting Anne Hathaway's fierce, resilient Penelope, Tom Holland's raw and restless turn as Telemachus, the scene-stealing presence of Zendaya as Athena, and Charlize Theron as Calypso. We also break down the film's spectacular, practical effects heavy encounters, from the terrifying scale of the Cyclops Polyphemus to the haunting sound design of the Sirens, and analyze how Hoyte van Hoytema's breathtaking cinematography makes ancient myth feel completely immediate and real.If you have your tickets booked for the nearest 70mm IMAX screen, or if you just want to hear us debate how Nolan managed to make a three hour ancient Greek poem feel like a relentless sci-fi thriller, this is the episode you need. We are blending our awe for a master filmmaker at the absolute peak of his craft with our usual casual banter, making this the true, definitive grand finale of our summer blockbuster coverage.

We've all seen sirens before, the mermaids of the deep who seduce with their beautiful voices. But she is so much more than that. She is a frequency, hypnotic, magnetic, alluring, and she is already living inside every single woman. I'm about to take you into the depths of her world, because once you feel this energy, you can never go back to performing femininity again. In this episode, I explore:

Cathy and Todd discuss the most recent summer blockbuster, The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s take on Homer’s epic and why a 2,700-year-old story about identity, home, and longing still hits just as hard today. From the Cyclops to the Sirens to Circe, they trace the myths and monsters and what those stories still reveal about who we are, and why the humanities matter to a thriving culture. It’s also a conversation about disguise and belonging, and why it’s so hard to come home when the choices of war change the world and leave shame behind.

SPOILER ALERT Christopher Nolan made The Odyssey, and somehow the loudest movie of the year is about a guy who just wants to go home. This week on Thumb War, we're joined by Dan to break down Nolan's massive Greek mythology epic: Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Telemachus, Anne Hathaway as Penelope, Robert Pattinson, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Samantha Morton, Elliot Page, Charlize Theron, gods, monsters, boats, gongs, suitors, and one dog scene that nearly destroyed us. We talk about the IMAX spectacle, the punishing Dolby sound mix, the score, the Cyclops, the Sirens, Calypso, Athena, the suitor massacre, Tom Holland's eternal Spider-Man baby face, Matt Damon's “smart guy” energy, and whether this is actually top-three Nolan.
