Post-Gazette Pitt football insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable tackle the hot topics around the team heading into an important ACC matchup this week at Stanford. This show is presented by FanDuel. What should we make of OC Kade Bell's running back usage last week against NC State? Did Desmond Reid play too long after the game was mostly decided? Should we have seen more of Ja'Kyrian Turner and Juelz Goff? Or did it make sense to keep Reid around to close things out? How much credit does the defense deserve for stepping up despite injuries to names like Rasheem Biles and Kyle Louis? How can coach Pat Narduzzi keep that group on track? And why was QB Mason Heintschel able to bounce back against the Wolfpack following a shaky outing in the previous game against Syracuse? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

The new film "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" follows Bruce Springsteen at a particular time in his life, as he was writing his album Nebraska. It's a unique take on the music biopic, a genre that has been mocked in films like "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story," but is also one of the most beloved and celebrated styles of filmmaking. Stephen Thompson, host, writer, and reviewer for NPR Music, joins to discuss his thoughts on "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere" and share some of his favorite music biopics. Plus, listeners share their favorites.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 53-34 win over NC State on Saturday, during which freshman QB Mason Heintschel threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns. What led to Heintschel's stellar performance, and how far can the true freshman take them? Are they contenders in the ACC? What led the offense to have such a major bounce back after a disappointing outing against Syracuse last weekend? How can the wide receivers trio of Kenny Johnson, Blue Hicks and Poppi Williams Jr. keep up this production? And how did the defense, led by guys in new spots like Kavir Bains-Marquez and Cameron Lindsey, fare without All-American candidates like Kyle Louis and Rasheem Biles? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Post-Gazette Pitt football insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable tackle a variety of hot topics around the team ahead of a key ACC matchup with North Carolina State on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. Should fans worry about star running back Desmond Reid after he missed most of the Syracuse win last week because of injury? And how should we interpret coach Pat Narduzzi's comments on the matter? How much longer can Cam Lindsey and Nick Lapi hold out at linebacker with Rasheem Biles and Kyle Louis injured? And what did Abby notice from coach Jeff Capel's men's basketball team in an exhibition against Providence and why does she believe Damarco Minor is a player to watch this coming season? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Pitt football insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to Saturday's road win at Syracuse. Nick Lapi and Cam Lindsey stepped up with leading linebackers Kyle Louis and Rasheem Biles out. But the offensive line was the crux of Pitt's offensive issues (penalties, not great blocking, allowed 7 sacks). It was anything but pretty, but a key play from Kenny Johnson and three interceptions kept momentum flowing. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Love it or hate it, your favorite pop star is a person and a product. How much are you willing to pay?Taylor Swift's latest album, The Life of a Showgirl, smashed records for first week album sales. This was in part due to all the different limited-edition variants that went on sale; some for only 24 hours. Talk about pressuring your fans! Is this business strategy fan service, or fan exploitation? Where's the line? Brittany sits down with Stephen Thompson, host for NPR Music and Pop Culture Happy Hour, and Ann Powers, NPR music critic and correspondent, to get into the life of a business woman, why they think Swift had to make this album, and whether or not it's worth the cost.Read Ann's (mostly positive) review of The Life of a Showgirl.(0:00) Is Taylor exploiting her fans?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Mason Heintschel has thrown seven passes deeper than 20 yards down field and Eli Holstein had significantly more. Does Pitt have a chance to make the ACC Championship Game? Five teams in the ACC are unbeaten but will play against each other. Brett McMurphy thinks Matt Rhule and Curt Cignetti are two candidates at PSU. McMurphy said Penn State has more resources and all the above, how long can it continue at Indiana?

Mason Heintschel has thrown seven passes deeper than 20 yards down field and Eli Holstein had significantly more. Pitt isn't taking as many shots, but they are still creating explosive plays.

Post-Gazette Pitt football insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to the Panthers' upset of Florida State this past week and how it may or may not reframe expectations for coach Pat Narduzzi's team the rest of the season. Could freshman QB Mason Heintschel and RB Desmond Reid still possibly lead the team to an ACC championship appearance? Or would that be asking too much of them within OC Kade Bell's offense? Is the defensive line in trouble following the loss of Zach Crothers for the season due to injury? Or could names like Blaine Spires and Jaeden Moore provide boosts? And how will Narduzzi manage his backfield with Ja'Kyrian Turner and Juelz Goff in the mix alongside Reid? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 34-31 win over Florida State on Saturday, with Stephen reporting from Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla. How were Pat Narduzzi's Panthers able to pull of the upset on the road? What made the contest so "personal" for Desmond Reid, as he put it, and how much of a difference does he make for the Panthers offense? How did true freshman Mason Heintschel perform in a hostile environment, and how was he able to pick himself up after a couple of bad mistakes at the end of the first half? And how were the offensive and defensive lines, which were both shorthanded due to injuries, able to make enough plays for the win? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

On this week's PG Pitt Show, Panthers insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable look ahead to this weekend's road clash with Florida State. Has new quarterback Mason Heintschel stepped in to save Pitt's season? What are reasonable expectations for him? Can this still be the team we thought they could be in August? Plus, Pitt's defense has been elite. Steps forward from Cruce Brookins, Blaine Spires and others make it possible. There's a chess match between Pat Narduzzi/Randy Bates and Gus Malzahn coming up Saturday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable break down the Panthers' 48-7 win over Boston College on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. What went into coach Pat Narduzzi's decision to bench Eli Holstein and put in true freshman Mason Heintschel? And why was Heintschel able to have success? How was Heintschel able to rally the whole team around him? What kind of trickle-down effect did that have on the rest of the roster? And what does this say about the freshman QB heading into next week's much tougher task — at Florida State? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is a must win game for Pitt against a down Boston College team. The offense has been Pitt's biggest problem. Pitt has turned the ball over in the red zone. Stephen thinks Eli Holstein has been more good than bad this season, but hasn't been good in critical areas. Stephen grades Eli Holstein with a C+ or C-.

Hour 2 with Donny Football: Ray doesn't expect the Steelers to add a wide receiver at this point. "They like Calvin Austin as a No. 2 receiver." Jakobi Meyers for a mid-round pick would make some sense, but Ray thinks adding another big mouth to feed is difficult for Arthur Smith. This is a must win game for Pitt against a down Boston College team. Eli Holstein earns a C+ or C- from Stephen's report.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable preview the Panthers' noon contest on Saturday against Boston College at Acrisure Stadium.

Will electrifying All-American Desmond Reid play after sitting out last week and most of the Backyard Brawl? What does the decision to redshirt Censere Lee and Keith Gouveia mean for the future of the Panthers offense? Stephen and Abby also break down all you need to know about Boston College. How can the Panthers get to QB Dylan Lonergan and his favorite WRs Lewis Bond and Reed Harris? Will Pitt have a chance to execute against the Eagles' lackluster red-zone defense? And how can the offense take advantage of the hole left behind by Donovan Ezeiruaku, who now plays for the Cowboys in the NFL? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Post-Gazette insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable tackle the biggest questions around Pitt football following an ugly loss to Louisville over the weekend.

What's the plan at left guard after Kieth Goueva went down with a season-ending injury? And what should fans make of concerning quotes from the Cardinals' D'Angelo Hutchinson and co-DC Ron English about facing Pitt and what worked for them in their Acrisure Stadium victory?

How should Pat Narduzzi's team prepare, with the status of star Cardinals running backs Isaac Brown and Duke Watson up in the air? If Brown and Watson aren't able to play, can Louisville QB Miller Moss control the passing game against Pitt's defense that includes stars like Kyle Louis and Rasheem Biles? Can Pitt QB Eli Holstein and WRs like Poppi Williams and Kenny Johnson shoulder the burden if Reid isn't able to play? Our duo answers those questions and more, plus gives their predictions and keys to the game. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Which young players have taken advantage of their newfound playing time and carved out a role for themselves? How have Deuce Spann and Bryce Yates helped to elevate Pitt's passing game? How has Zach Crothers found production along the defensive front? And, on the other side of the spectrum, who hasn't lived up to expectations this season?

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react postgame after the Panthers' 45-17 win over Central Michigan on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. What led to QB Eli Holstein having another solid game statistically, and should fans be concerned about some turnover snafus leading into tougher games like next week's Backyard Brawl and the ensuing ACC schedule? How was the Pitt defense, with names like Kyle Louis and Rasheem Biles, able to stop Central Michigan's potent rushing attack led by Trey Cornist and Nahree Biggins? How will the emergence of players like Poppi Williams and Blue Hicks help the WR depth behind Kenny Johnson? And what allowed the defensive line depth to show with big performances from guys like Zach Crothers? Our duo answers those questions and more.

KPop Demon Hunters, or as Brittany's mom keeps mistakenly calling it "Kidz Bop: It's the Devil," is dominating the music charts. And, thank god! These bombastic bangers are a welcome reprieve after a summer full of sad songs. We need to talk about those bangers, but we also need to talk about the void KPop Demon Hunters is filling. This summer was lacking a true shiny, shimmering song of the summer. Where were the bops? Where were the ubiquitous, undeniable culture uniting hits? It's disappointing we don't have an anthem to point to – but it's also telling.Brittany sits down with Stephen Thompson, host for NPR Music and co-host of Pop Culture Happy Hour, to discuss what we had instead of songs of the summer – and what that tells us about how our musical landscape has changed.To find out Brittany's song of the summer follow her on Instagram: @bmluseLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Post-Gazette Pitt Panthers insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to coach Par Narduzzi's injury updates on key offensive and defensive line players ahead of the football team's matchup with Central Michigan this weekend. Could right tackle Ryan Baer return quickly after missing the latte portions of the win against Duquesne with what Narduzzi described as a "stinger"? How confident should fans feel about backups at offensive line positions? And why was there a lot to like about the defensive line depth? With names like Joey Zelinsky and Zach Crothers performing in the absence of Jaeden Moore? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to major non-conference wins for the ACC over the weekend. Is the conference proving itself after Florida State upset Alabama and Miami triumphed over Notre Dame?

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to the Panthers' 61-9 season-opening win over crosstown rival Duquesne. What can we learn about Pat Narduzzi's team after a blowout win over an inferior opponent? Is Eli Holstein back to his best after starting last season hot and petering off at the end because of injuries? Is Desmond Reid already staking his claim to another All-American season? Will the special teams give the Panthers a boost this season after Reid's punt return TD and Kenny Johnson's long kick return? And what can the defense led by Kyle Louis take from this contest into games against more challenging opponents in the ACC? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Have a safe and lovely holiday weekend to our US folks. We'll see you next week with another episode or two!

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the new animated film on Netflix that has everyone talking. It's called “KPop Demon Hunters,” and was an instant success when it was released back in June. It's gained so much momentum that it was shown in a limited release on the big screen - just for two days and in only 1,700 theaters - in a sing-along format. Despite that limited release, it still won the entire box office for the weekend, giving Netflix its first number one box office title in its 18-year history. Several songs from its soundtrack are simultaneously in the Billboard Top 10. So… what in the world is “KPop Demon Hunters” about, and is this something our kids should be watching? The answers might surprise you. Episode Links Given that the movie has the word “demon” in the title, it's not surprising that today's conversation raised issues regarding the paranormal world. Dr. White gave a series at Mecklenburg Community Church (Meck) called “Paranormal” that you may be interested in checking out - particularly the installment that maps out the spiritual world. You can find that series on Church & Culture HERE. Dr. White mentioned that when it comes to what you allow your kids to watch, including this movie, what's most important is to seize the opportunity to have really good spiritual conversations with your kids. He referenced a recent blog written by our MecKidz team - the children's program at Meck. The blog is titled “‘KPop Demon Hunters': How to Engage Movies and TV with your Kids,” and can be found HERE. Finally, there are a number of articles that were used as source material for today's conversation. If you're interested in going down the “KPop Demon Hunters” rabbit hole, you can check these out: Itzel Luna and Jake Coyle, “‘KPop Demon Hunters' gives Netflix its first box-office win,” AP News. Chloe Veltman, “Fans across the country raise their voices at 'KPop Demon Hunters' singalongs,” NPR. Stephen Thompson, “'KPop Demon Hunters' and the band Babymetal hit fresh milestones on the pop charts,” NPR. Isabel Ong, “We're Not Afraid of Monsters and Demons Anymore,” Christianity Today. Sopan Deb, “‘KPop Demon Hunters' Has Everyone Bobbing Their Heads. Especially Parents,” The New York Times. Stephen Armstrong, “Kpop Demon Hunters: the Netflix film giving Disney nightmares,” The Telegraph. Scott Greenstone, “It started with friends at home. Now Dungeons & Dragons is in its stadium era,” NPR. Samantha Masunaga, “‘KPop Demon Hunters' might win the box office. Why Netflix won't say,” Los Angeles Times.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to the team's Week 1 depth chart, revealed by coach Pat Narduzzi on Monday. How should fans feel about the starting offensive line of tackles Jeff Persi and Ryan Baer; guards Keith Gouveia and B.J. Williams; and center Lyndon Cooper? Are Kenny Johnson, Blue Hicks and Poppi Williams Jr. prepared to fill the void left by CJ Lee? Does the defense have enough linebacker depth behind and Braylan Lovelace? And how is the secondary shaping up? Our duo ponders those questions, plus reasonable expectations for QB Eli Holstein as he begins his second season as the starter in OC Kade Bell's offense.
