Podcast appearances and mentions of Tommy Sheppard

In this episode we begin by reflecting on why there have, as yet , been no far-right riots in Scotland. Is it because, as George Kerevan has suggested in The National, that the development of a civic , progressive Scottish "nationalism" has created a different social/political landscape? We also consider his point that a continuing independence project is central to combatting racism.Lesley reflects on the response to her call for independence supporters to turn out in solidarity against the planned "Pro UK" rally in Glasgow on September the 7th.Meanwhile Elon Musk has launched a vitriolic attack on Humza Yousaf with spurious claims of racism. What malignant role is Musk and X playing in fuelling the far-right ? Should we be abandoning the platform?Musk also "interviewed" Trump on X. Pat listened so you didn't have to. We ask, has Trump lost the plot completely in the aftermath of Biden's withdrawal?The Harris/Walz ticket has turned the fortunes of the Democrats round in the US Presidential election campaign. Who is Tim Walz. Why was he selected? What can the SNP learn from this?Tommy Sheppard writing in The National has put forward a 4 point plan to "win back" the half million disillusioned SNP supporters lost between 2019 and 2024. We analyse it.The go-ahead for Eastern Green Link 2 was given today. This massive energy transfer project will carry green electricity in the main from Scotland to England. Should we be celebrating or bemoaning another North Sea Oil rip off?Plus a lesson learned on genetics and other nonsense. ★ Support this podcast ★

Bradley Beal is now a Phoenix Sun! So is Jordan Goodwin! And Chris Paul is a Wizard…for now!

Jahadi White and Matt Modderno break down the Wizards' GM search and how the timing of it might complicate things. Jahadi provides his perspective on whether the Wizards need to rush to make a move and if waiting will hamper their pre-draft process at all. For instance, is a GM from a winning team as well-versed on lottery-caliber prospects? Jahadi also fills listeners in on what the dynamics are like between players and GMs. He talks about what his interactions were like with Wes Unseld Sr., Ernie Grunfeld, and Tommy Sheppard. Both hosts weigh in on the reports that Tommy Sheppard's attachment to Bradley Beal may have cost him his job and whether Ted Leonsis has really soured on Beal. What does a new GM mean for the futures of Beal, Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, and Wes Unseld Jr.? Plus, the guys open the show by talking about what the Wizards should try to incorporate from other playoff teams as they build for the future. Presented by betonline.ag!

In all likelihood, the Wizards have locked themselves in for a top-10 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Jahadi White and Matt Modderno break down their lottery odds and just how good of a pick they could realistically get. They also cover Tommy Sheppard's desire to add Marcin Gortat to the coaching staff in a greater role in the future, what it's like playing on a team that's going to be in the lottery, and have an honest convo about the role of gambling in the NBA. Jahadi shows some love to Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert, and Jordan Goodwin. Plus, they discuss where the heck is Isaiah Todd right now? They close by previewing the Wizards final 3 games and provide details on a fan meet-and-greet event Jahadi will be participating in during the Wizards game on 4/7. Make sure to check it out if you'd like a chance to meet Jahadi in person! https://www.nba.com/wizards/news/wizards-celebrate-fan-appreciation-night-on-april-7 Presented by Betonline.ag!

Matt Modderno is joined by Eric Aaronson (@EricAaronson) in this episode to discuss the latest personnel moves the Wizards have made including waiving Vernon Carey Jr., adding Jay Huff on a two-way contract, and signing Jamaree Bouyea to a 10-day contract. Do any of these moves really move the needle? We break down each move, what the Wizards really need to do to improve their roster long term, and their lack of a top option at the point guard position. We give our perspectives on the overall fan experience this season and why it's hard to get really excited for this particular team despite like a lot of the individual pieces. Eric provides some really good insight on the Wizards' team-building philosophy and how it doesn't exactly match up with where the league is going. We also talk about Stateside Vodka, the official beverage of the podcast and where Eric works, and why it's the perfect drink for Wizards fans. Presented by betonline.ag!

Matt Babcock (@mattbabcock11) of Draft Digest (@DraftDigest) joins Jahadi White and Matt Modderno this week. Babcock provides expert analysis on NBA Draft prospects likely to go in the late lottery, which is around when the Wizards would potentially be picking. We cover Nick Smith Jr., Keyonte George, Cason Wallace, Anthony Black, Jett Howard, and several others. We also talk about the latest controversy surrounding likely top-5 pick Brandon Miller, who transported a gun to a teammate that was eventually used in a murder, and whether a team like the Wizards would stay away from him given their own history with gun-related incidents. Babcock also shares his thoughts on the Wizards' team-building strategy and Tommy Sheppard's overall draft record. Jahadi and Matt close the show by discussing the details of Jordan Goodwin's new contract and Wes Unseld Jr.'s head-scratching rationale for benching Delon Wright during the Knicks game.
