Packers reporters Tom Silverstein, Ryan Wood and host JR Radcliffe look at a crazy start to free agency for the Green Bay Packers, including the loss of running back Aaron Jones to the rival Minnesota Vikings. In his place: former All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs, and the Packers also made a big splash in signing safety Xavier McKinney from the Giants. David Bakhtiari is released, as expected, and Keisean Nixon is back. On the Green 19 podcast, the guys react to it all.

The Texans sat out most of day one of NFL free agency, even losing a couple key players. They got right to work on day two, though, trading for Joe Mixon. Sean looks at that deal and the rest of free agency to this point, then takes your questions.

The upside surprises to January US inflation need to be viewed in the context of considerable seasonal noise. That said, there is growing evidence globally that a phase of sharply slowing goods price inflation is ending. And details of this week's reports suggest that part of the gap that lowered core PCE inflation to a 2%ar will not persist. On the growth front, it is reasonable to see January as a month in which a strong run of US consumer spending gains is ending. There is no sign as yet that the persistent weakness in spending in Europe and Japan is fading. Speakers: Bruce Kasman Joseph Lupton This podcast was recorded on 16 February 2024.

#RafiFarber - In 2023, Silver Starts With a Bang Looking back, 2011 was the year of the paper silver speculator. Looking forward, 2023 is shaping up to be the year of the physical silver stacker. How so? Silver derivative products clearly fell out of favor in 2022, and that trend continues into the new year. We see this in falling open interest in silver futures and in falling ETF holdings. Even though premiums are falling, they are falling at a slower pace than the silver spot price is rising. That means demand for physical overall is still rising. And a look into when that magical moment happens when the public suddenly "gets it" and dumps currencies. It's not random, and there is a good chance it could happen this year.

DemystifySci is a show of opposites, and in the court of Science it is vital that we present both sides of any debate. To balance our tendency to favor arguments that undermine consensus, we have a conversation with Dr. Ethan Siegel, blogger, professor, podcaster, and high priest of the big bang and inflation cosmology. This is a primer of the foundations of thought in mainstream physics, and so constitutes mandatory listening for those interested in finding a new way forward because, despite the ways in which we disagree, Siegel is right about one thing. New theories have an enormous burden of proof, and it's our responsibility to meet that bar.

All throughout the Universe, we see stars and galaxies everywhere we look. But as we look to greater and greater distances, we're only seeing the light that's the easiest to see: the ones from the brightest, most visible objects. But the most numerous objects of all are exactly the opposite: less luminous, smaller, and lower in mass. How can we hope to find and catalogue them all if they're the hardest ones to find? The answer lies in measuring the closest stars to us. If we can measure the stars that persist in our own backyard, cataloguing them and taking as complete a census as possible, we can then combine what else we know about stars and starlight and the environments in which new stars form to reconstruct precisely what we believe is out there: not just here-and-now, but elsewhere and all throughout cosmic time. Here to bring us up to speed on how this attempt to catalogue and categorize the stars in the Universe, I'm so pleased to welcome PhD candidate at Georgia State University Eliot Vrijmoet to the show, who takes us on a fascinating journey to the edge of our knowledge, and from there we'll peer over the horizon to what just might come next. Enjoy the latest episode of the Starts With A Bang podcast! Star density maps of the Gaia Catalogue of Nearby Stars. The Sun is located at the centre of both maps. The regions with higher density of stars are shown; these correspond with known star clusters (Hyades and Coma Berenices) and moving groups. Each dotted line represents a distance of 20 parsecs: about 65 light-years. (Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC - CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO)

Although it seems like a long time ago, it was as recent as the early 1990s that we had no idea whether planets in the Universe were universal, common, uncommon, or even exceedingly rare. While certain data sets once seemed to indicate that practically every star in the Universe had planets around it, we now know that isn't true at all. Many stars, perhaps even most of them, have planets, but plenty of others don't. In addition, the number and types of planets that exist, including planets without parent stars at all, are still under investigation, and the field of planet formation has become extremely active. With new data coming in from infrared and radio observatories, including JWST and ALMA, we're learning so much about the planets that form in the Universe, including what conditions they form under and what the various important, dominant considerations are. Here as our latest guest on the Starts With A Bang podcast, to help us disentangle what's known from what remains a curiosity, is Dr. Kamber Schwarz, postdoctoral research associate at MPIA Heidelberg. There's still so much to learn, but wow, how much we know today compared to the early 1990s is astounding. Enjoy this look at the frontiers of what we know about how planets are made, and I hope it leaves you wondering about what else we'll learn in the very near future! [This two-toned image shows an illustration of the protoplanetary disk around the young star FU Orionis, which was imaged multiple times by the Hubble Space Telescope but years apart. The disk has changed, indicating that it's entering a more advanced stage of evolution, as planets form and the material available for forming and growing them evaporates, sublimates, and is otherwise blown away.

Hour 1 Was a gun discharged at the BC-Jenkins game Friday night? Does that warrant metal detectors? And how about that Glynn Academy-Statesboro shootout? Audio from WGIG-AM and FM in Brunswick, GA

From the earliest stages of the hot Big Bang up through and including the present day, one cosmic picture is sufficient to describe practically everything we observe: the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model. With a mix of dark matter, dark energy, normal matter, photons, and neutrinos, we can not only model, but can simulate the Universe from the earliest times and the smallest scales up through to the present and the full scale of the observable Universe. In most cases, theory and observation match, and spectacularly so. But there are a few current points of tension: cosmological mysteries, that range from the expansion rate of the Universe to small-scale structure formation to the link between the pre-Big Bang Universe and our current dark-energy-caused accelerated expansion. Where are we, how far have we come, and how far do we still have to go? I'm so pleased to welcome Dr. Santiago Casas, who specializes in many of the same sub-areas of cosmological physics I specialized in about a decade earlier, to our podcast. In this nearly 90-minute long episode, we cover a slew of fascinating topics in more depth and detail than normal, and I hope you enjoy the extra-deep dive into some of the weediest areas of modern cosmology! This image shows a 15 million light-year long structure that arises from a detailed simulation of the cosmic web and how galaxies, galaxy clusters, and cosmic filaments form on the largest scales of all. Although this theoretical simulation, like many aspects of our standard cosmological models, largely agrees with our observations, there are points of tension that must not, despite the successes, be ignored.

The Vincent Kompany era got off to a very impressive start at the John Smith's Stadium as Burnley dominated last season's Championship playoff finalists Huddersfield Town. It was only 1-0 but in truth it could and and should have been more, with Barnes, Roberts and Twine all missing chances to put the game to bed. But the first half especially was brilliant by Burnley who passed Huddersfield to death and pressed the life out of them when they had the ball - it was a completely different Clarets side than what we're used to, but we're here for it.

Since the advanced LIGO detectors first began operating in 2015, we've not only directly detected our first gravitational wave signals from merging objects in the Universe, we've observed close to 100 such systems that have emitted detectable gravitational wave signals. All of them to date, however, are the result of short-period, low-mass stellar remnants that have inspiraled and merged into one another. The most massive black holes, at least in gravitational waves, remain elusive. If all goes well, however, that won't be the case for long. At the centers of very massive galaxies, there's often not just one supermassive black holes, but multiples. Ultramassive binary black holes, in fact, send such energetic ripples through spacetime that they ought to distort, in measurable ways, the arriving radio signals from pulsars distributed all throughout the Milky Way. By monitoring these pulsars extensively through a series of timing arrays, we just might be able to extract information about the longest-wavelength gravitational waves that fill the Universe. Here to walk us through what we're looking for, how we're conducting this science, what we've seen so far, and what the prospects are for gravitational wave direct detection in an entirely new regime is Dr. Caitlin Witt, who I'm so pleased to welcome to the Starts With A Bang podcast. We've got a 100 minute spectacular for this episode, and you won't want to miss a single moment of it! Image: This illustration show how the Earth, itself embedded withing spacetime, sees the arriving signals from various pulsars delayed and distorted by the background of cosmic gravitational waves that propagate all throughout the Universe. The combined effects of these waves alters the timing of each and every pulsar, and a long-timescale, sufficiently sensitive monitoring of these pulsars can reveal the gravitational signals.

Free Agency has officially started, and what a start it's been!Nic flew the flag for The Daily Dribble this week, discussing all the notable talking points from Free Agency, including the bombshell of Kevin Durant requesting a trade from the Nets and Dejounte Murray heading to Atlanta.All the notable Odds and Ends were also discussed, such as the NBL taking over Summer League, and the Jazz & Hornets picking up new head coaches.The news is only going to intensify as the offseason progresses, so be sure to stay up to date with all our socials for when the latest news breaks. As well as following wherever you listen to the show to get our latest episodes as soon as they drop… You don't want to miss the upcoming episodes either, Nic begins to give his seasons gradings to all 30 teams over the coming fortnight, which are sure to throw up a few talking points.

It's now been nearly a full six months since the JWST was launched, and we're on the cusp of getting our first science data and images back from some 1.5 million kilometers away. There are all sorts of things we're bound to learn, from discovering the farthest galaxies of all to examining details in faint, small objects to searching for black holes in dusty galaxies and a whole lot more. But what's perhaps most exciting are the things we're going to find that we aren't expecting, simply because we've never looked in this particular fashion before. I'm so pleased to welcome two guests to the show: Research Professors Dr. Stacey Alberts and Dr. Christina Williams both join me this month, and we have a far-ranging conversation about infrared astronomy and all that we're poised to learn from exploring the Universe in the infrared as never before. If you're already excited about JWST and what we're going to learn from it, wait until you listen to this episode! (Image: Although Spitzer (launched 2003) was earlier than WISE (launched 2009), it had a larger mirror and a narrower field-of-view.

Ethan Siegel joins Scott to discuss the science behind the temperature of thermonuclear explosions. Scott is putting together a new book that argues for the abolition of nuclear weapons called Hotter Than The Sun. He wanted to talk with an expert who can actually explain how the bombs are able to reach temperatures that far exceed the center of the Sun. Siegel wrote an article on that exact topic a few years ago, so he's the perfect person to answer that question. At the end, they also talk about some of the things to avoid if you find yourself in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.        Discussed on the show: “Ask Ethan: How Can A Nuclear Bomb Be Hotter Than The Center Of Our Sun?” (Forbes) Ethan Siegel is an astrophysicist, author, professor and science communicator.

 Download Episode. Ethan Siegel joins Scott to discuss the science behind the temperature of thermonuclear explosions. Scott is putting together a new book that argues for the abolition of nuclear weapons called Hotter Than The Sun. He wanted to talk with an expert who can actually explain how the bombs are able to reach temperatures that far exceed the center of the Sun. Siegel wrote an article on that exact topic a few years ago, so he's the perfect person to answer that question. At the end, they also talk about some of the things to avoid if you find yourself in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.        Discussed on the show: “Ask Ethan: How Can A Nuclear Bomb Be Hotter Than The Center Of Our Sun?” (Forbes) Ethan Siegel is an astrophysicist, author, professor and science communicator.

When we look out at the Universe, what we see is typically what we think of: the points of light. Depending on the scales we're looking at, this can come in the form of stars, galaxies, or even clusters of galaxies, but it's almost always information that comes to us in some form of electromagnetic radiation, or light. But sometimes, light can be just as informative for what either isn't there or how it's been affected by the various media that it's passed through! In the case of our own cosmic backyard, a new study from earlier this year, 2022, revealed something spectacular and entirely unexpected: that the Sun sits at the center of a ~1000 light-year wide structure known as the Local Bubble, itself just about 15 million years old but containing all of the nearest young star clusters to us. In fact, the star Aldebaran, one of the brightest in the sky, helped "blow" this bubble in the interstellar medium! It's the very first episode of the Starts With A Bang podcast ever to feature multiple guests, and I'm so pleased to welcome Drs. Catherine Zucker, Alyssa Goodman, and João Alves to the podcast, all three of whom helped make this knowledge possible! I hope you enjoy the listen, and it's a 90 minute spectacular you won't regret spending your time on!

Sir Bradley Wiggins is joined by Matt Stephens on the streets of Budapest following the Grande Partenza of the 2022 Giro d'Italia where Mathieu van der Poel lived up to his pre-race favourite status to win the opening stage and secure the pink jersey.The pair discuss their favourites to finish in Pink in Verona where Great Britain's Simon Yates is Matt's favourite to bring home the goods for BikeExchange–Jayco. The legendary do also catch up on the highlights of the season so far as the Bradley Wiggins Show has had a little break, but is back with a bang.And of course, the focus had to come to Mark Cavendish, where you can hear real-time the pair realise just how much of a legend the sprinter is, but will he be going to the Tour de France?And it wouldn't be a pod on the Giro without the love for Italy's signature grand tour oozing from the duo, where Matt tells the story of the time he beat Marco Pantani.Brought to you by Zwift, where fun is fast.The Bradley Wiggins Show is produced by Pete Burton.

Monday starts with a BANG!

Have you ever wondered how it is that we know all we do about galaxies? How they formed, what they're made of, how we can be certain they contain dark matter, and how they grew up in the context of the expanding Universe? In any scientific discipline, we have the things we know and can be quite confident in, the things that we think we've figured out but more data is required to be certain, and the things that remain undecided given the current evidence: things over the horizon of the present frontiers. Fortunately, we have the ability to scrupulously identify which aspects of galaxy formation and evolution fall into each category, and to walk right up to the edge of our knowledge and peer over that ever-expanding horizon. Joining me for this episode of the Starts With A Bang podcast is scientist Arianna Long, Ph.D. candidate at the University of California at Irvine and soon-to-be Hubble Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin. With the advent of ALMA and the James Webb Space Telescope, in particular, we're poised to seriously push back the frontiers of the unknown, and you can get the insider's view of exactly what we'll be looking for and how. This is one episode you certainly won't want to miss!

This particular snippet showcases an incredibly rich region of relative nearby galaxies clustered together, which could provide Webb with an unprecedented view of galaxies magnified by strong and weak gravitational lensing.

Every time we've figured out a different way to look at the Universe, going beyond the capabilities of our own meagre senses, we've opened up an opportunity to learn something new about what's out there. Although optical astronomy and near-infrared astronomy are arguably the most popular ways to view the Universe, with James Webb soon to bring the mid-infrared Universe into view as never before, we shouldn't forget about the value of other, more distant wavelengths of light. One of the most fascinating sets of data that we can collect is in the far-infrared, where gas heated to just a few tens of Kelvin shines, but where much hotter, even ionized gas can emit very special hyperfine transitions. Mapping out these regions of space helps us understand what's going on beyond mere star-formation or other violent events, and a series of remarkably specific observational techinques are, quite arguably, how we're obtaining the most valuable information of all in this part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Joining the Starts With A Bang podcast to help guide us through the topic of far-infrared astronomy is Dr. Jessica Sutter, an astronomer at NASA Ames who's part of the USRA and who works with the SOFIA telescope, a one-of-a-kind far-infrared observatory that can do what no ground-based nor space-based observatory can. Have a listen, and I hope you wind up learning as much as I did!

Pete and Howell back in the house after some necessary away time, but jumping right back into it with a quick SOTU discussion and then the topic on the world's mind - Ukraine. Enjoy!
