A rather rough back-to-back. Last night the Knicks dropped their second straight for the first time since the season was deemed "over" in early January. I despised their PnR coverages, loved their offense with Brunson and Towns together, but still can't stand the starting rotation giving losing minutes. Also, the Knicks turned it over one billion times. We break it down.0:00 Intro0:30 Recap & Thoughts5:48 Why ICE + Blitz Failed12:13 Stay Connected With Us!13:12 Brunson + Towns Take Advantage18:41 Starting Five Still Bad23:49 Bing Bong Game Ball (Starters): KAT24:27 Bing Bong Game Ball (Reserves): Diawara25:57 Up Next28:28 Outro*SUPPORT THE POD*https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Carbone-Jr-28Audio

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. Let me ask you something: How well do you know the trees in your local area? Do you have a favourite? One of mine is an ancient sweet chestnut in the Ashridge Estate in the Chilterns, not far from where I grew up. It's enormous, with beautifully twisted bark, and it's thought to be more than 400 years old. It's the kind of tree you can't help but stop and stare at for a while. And that's exactly what this episode is about — noticing the trees around us, and seeing them in a new light. I'm joined by Paul Wood, author of Tree Hunting: 1,000 Trees to find in Britain and Ireland's Towns and Cities. Paul spent four years travelling across the UK documenting remarkable trees in the places we often overlook — and encouraging us all to pay closer attention to something we usually walk straight past. As he says, if you simply start looking up a little more, it can completely transform how you experience the outdoors. We recorded this conversation while walking through Richmond Park in London — so as you listen, keep an ear out for the sounds around us: woodpeckers, parakeets, and the occasional plane heading to Heathrow… I really hope you enjoy our chat — and don't forget to stay tuned for the Sounds of Nature moment at the end of the episode: a small pocket of calm to help you pause, unwind and breathe in the outdoors, wherever you are.

After the success of the D-Day landings in France and the break out from the Normandy area, momentum was on the side of the Allies. The German Army was being pushed back across a wide front and had yet to put up a resistance capable of halting the advance. Confidence was sky-high and the Allies thought ending the war by Christmas of 1945 was a real possibility. All that was needed was a corridor into Germany itself. The Siegfried Line limited the routes available to move armor so any and all options were being considered. Bernard Montgomery had an idea to Uno reverse card Hitler and march back along the route through Belgium the Nazi's had used to invade France. The problem with this plan's success was completely contingent on the capture of 8 or 9 bridges along the route...all currently in enemy hands. The two most crucial bridges across the largest waterways just happened to be the furthest behind enemy lines. You'd think with so many things that could go wrong this plan would be scrapped right....right? Well instead more than 41,000 airborne troops were dropped via plane or glider behind enemy lines to capture key bridges while a ground forces would race to through the area those men captured. Everything relied on timing. Towns had to be captured and secured before the armored convoy could pass through so any delays meant that Allied troops dropped further away would be on their own against what turned out to be a much stronger German force than anticipated. Market Garden was not destined to succeed but that didn't stop the men of the Airborne from giving everything they had trying to make it.  Support the show

This week on the Regional Roundup, we hear from Colorado State University professor Michael Childers about how ski resorts may need to adapt to increasingly dry winters. We visit Salida, to hear about Monarch Mountain ski resort's expansion during a historically dry season. Then we travel to the small mountain town of Nederland, where a low-snow winter is raising climate concerns among residents and local businesses. We hear the latest on avalanche danger in the backcountry, and we round out the show with a conversation with Park City resident Tom Bickner, father of Team USA ski jumper Kevin Bickner, about what it takes to be an Olympic ski jumper.

In Episode 500 of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast, I'm breaking down the big win over the Chicago Bulls and talking with Knicks fans about a dominant defensive performance from the New York Knicks, as OG Anunoby held opponents to 1/9 shooting, Mikal Bridges allowed just 3/12, and Karl-Anthony Towns also limited his matchups to 3/12 in a statement effort on that end of the floor; I also discuss Towns recording his 66th 20/10 game as a Knick, passing Carmelo Anthony for 10th-most in franchise history, and how Jalen Brunson scored 19 points to reach 6,958 career points with the team, moving past Dave DeBusschere for 18th on the all-time scoring list — Knicks fans, this episode is about elite defense, milestones, and what this win means moving forward, so click the links below for more episodes and full Knicks coverage.Click the links below for:

MIKE BROWN WILL NOT CHANGE THE KNICKS OFFENSE OR WHAT HE WANTS TO RUN! Mike Brown may have made slight changes to the offense but the overall principals remain the same and it sounds like that will not change. However, we have seen slight adjustments that have helped NY when they go to them constantly, especially for Towns. Speaking of KAT, he was also recently asked about the trade reports earlier on in the season, essentially being traded. He gave an extremely clear and level headed response but there is no way he doesn't hear it or see it... Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

The Knicks looked dead in the water against Houston… until the final eight minutes flipped everything. Jalen Brunson took over, Jose Alvarado sparked the defense, and New York pulled off a stunning comeback before grinding out another win in Chicago. But the real fireworks came off the court, when Shaquille O'Neal publicly challenged Karl-Anthony Towns on national TV about what it takes to win a championship in New York. Did KAT miss the point entirely? Is Brunson already the unquestioned alpha? And do the Knicks need a dominant version of Towns to truly contend? Plus, frustration over a growing Boston narrative that rewrites last year's playoff series against the Knicks, snowstorm chaos in the Tri-State area, and a jam-packed sports weekend from spring training to soccer. A loaded segment breaking down whether this Knicks surge is real… and what it will take to turn it into a title run.

After looking dead in the water against Houston, the Knicks flip the switch over the final eight minutes and steal a game they had no business winning, then grind out another victory in Chicago behind Jalen Brunson's clutch shot making and Karl-Anthony Towns' strong stretch of play. But the biggest moment might not have happened on the court at all. Evan and Tiki react to the viral Shaquille O'Neal vs KAT exchange from Inside the NBA, where Shaq bluntly tells Towns that “good isn't good enough” if the Knicks want a championship. Did KAT miss the point? Does he lack that ruthless edge great teams need from a dominant star? And can New York reach the next level if Brunson remains the only true closer? The hour also veers into a heated pushback against the growing Jayson Tatum comeback narrative, with Evan arguing the Knicks were firmly in control of that playoff series before Tatum's injury and shouldn't have to apologize for winning. Plus, classic WFAN chaos: snowstorm stories, travel nightmares, soccer talk, Olympic hockey passion debates, Mets fan emotions, and an all-time awkward bar tab saga after Evan accidentally Venmos $300 for a bill that wasn't even close. It's part serious Knicks championship talk, part media watchdog, and part pure New York sports radio madness.

Well, they didn't lose. In a lackluster matchup, we break down how the Knicks managed to slip past a bad Bulls team. Brunson and Towns clicked on both ends.

KAT HAS HEARD ALL OF THE CRITICISM AND AFTER THE WIN OVER THE BULLS HE MADE SURE TO ADDRESS IT! But more importantly, was Towns reacting and responding to being more involved in the offense.

A number of towns are struggling to put on St Patrick's Day parades this year. Rising insurance costs, a shortage of volunteers and a lack support from businesses are some of the factors leading to these challenges. It has raised the question of the financial support given to these types of events in cities compared to towns. Our reporter, Josh Crosbie visited Ashbourne in Co Meath where there will be no parade this year.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk NBA betting for Thursday and much more. The NBA resumes Thursday following the All Star break with several compelling matchups, while early MLB futures are beginning to take shape as analysts look ahead to the 2026 season. In Detroit's visit to Madison Square Garden, the Knicks are listed as four and a half point favorites against a Pistons team missing Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart due to suspensions stemming from a recent altercation. New York enters largely healthy, with only minor injury concerns, and the absence of Detroit's primary interior defenders shifts attention to Karl Anthony Towns. Towns has historically produced strong numbers against the Pistons and is positioned for a significant role, particularly on the glass and as a scorer. Detroit's recent defensive identity and slower pace suggest caution on the full game total, though a Pistons team total under and Towns points and rebounds over were highlighted as attractive angles. In San Antonio, the Spurs are favored by seven and a half over Phoenix, despite early market indicators showing notable support for the Suns. Phoenix has been one of the league's best teams against the number this season and has exceeded preseason expectations, largely due to improved defense. While San Antonio had been on an extended under run before clearing five straight prior to the break, the reset following All Star weekend raises the possibility of a slower tempo. The under, including a potential first half under, stands out more than the side, with Phoenix's ability to compete on the road keeping the spread within reach. The marquee matchup features Boston traveling to Golden State with the Celtics laying five and a half. The total has dropped sharply, reflecting injury concerns for the Warriors, including Steph Curry's absence pending further evaluation. Boston's recent offensive volume, combined with its defensive consistency, creates intrigue around the Celtics team total over, particularly given Golden State's recent defensive struggles. While revenge narratives from past postseason meetings linger, the primary focus rests on market movement and value relative to the opening numbers. Beyond the NBA slate, attention has shifted to MLB win totals, beginning with teams projected near the bottom of the standings. The Colorado Rockies enter with a win total of 53 and a half after a historically poor 43 and 119 season that featured a minus 424 run differential. Modest pitching additions provide some optimism for incremental improvement, though concerns remain about scoring consistency and bullpen reliability. The debate centers on whether even a ten game improvement is realistic within a competitive division, with opinions split between a slight over based on regression toward prior performance and skepticism rooted in roster limitations. The Washington Nationals, posted at 65 and a half wins, present a similar evaluation challenge. After finishing 66 and 96 with a minus 212 run differential, Washington continues a youth movement highlighted by promising position players but hampered by pitching uncertainty and bullpen depth issues. Competing in a division with multiple contenders complicates the path to meaningful gains, and an early season schedule featuring several strong opponents could suppress initial results. While offensive upside exists, inconsistency and pitching volatility make the under the more cautious position entering the season. As both leagues move forward, disciplined market evaluation and situational awareness remain central themes for bettors navigating the transition from midseason NBA adjustments to long term MLB futures.

Finding affordable housing has been a challenge in Colorado for years. A measure passed by voters statewide four years ago is starting to make a difference. We'll talk through what it's meant for the state's small mountain towns and what still needs to be done. Then, we remember civil rights activist, Reverend Jessie Jackson, who died this week. We also remember the loss of the occasionally high-strung, legendary coach of the Denver Nuggets, Doug Moe. And we celebrate Lunar New Year with a behind-the-scenes look at the tradition of lion dancing! 

TW - This episode we drop a few 'f' bombs, and a few other words we would not normally use.  But we are dealing with an act of domestic terrorism that has been concealed by polite history.  We discuss the rRise of Black Wall Street in the Greenwood District of Oklahoma.  How discovering oil in the early twenties brought people of all colors to to the young state of Oklahoma unintentionally creating a community of Black entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and other professionals,,This created a segregation and suspicion drove them into the community of Greenwood where they built black schools, black theaters, black hotels and black shops.  Their community was so good and prosperous that even whites would shop there when they could get a product better or cheaper.  However, one night, a young man named Dick Rowland who worked in Tulsa had to use the restroom.  Being black, he couldn't go to the bathroom where he worked he had to go to one of the 'Black Only' bathrooms and the closest one was on the top floor of the nearby Drexler Building.  The elevator was operated by one Sarah Page and as Dick rode the elevator, it shook briefly, causing Dick to wobble, he grabbed Sarah's arm to right himself, and Sarah, not expecting the contact, yelled as she was very startled.  That's it...well Dick left the elebator a clerk saaw him and reported the incident to the police.  Police arrested Roland and Black World War I veterans showed up armed, to prevent the vigilante lynch mob from attacking the jail and lynching Dick.  It was this event that set off the Tulsa Race Massacre...an overnight series of assaults, unreasonable arrests, theft, arson and murder that devastated the district of Greenwood.  And we, along with Carmita from Missing in the PNW and Murder in the PNW, tell this true story from the dark history of America and Oklahoma in this 0h-yeah-this-happened, domestic terror and if-this-doesn't-make-your-blood-boil-nothing-will episode of the Family Plot PodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

One of Clare's local elected representatives says it'll be seen as a "national scandal" in the years to come that working people in the county can't afford a house at present. Discussions at this week's meeting of Clare's Rural Development Strategic Policy Committee were dominated by housing following a presentation from the Housing Activation Unit on the steps being taken to boost supply in the county. Clare County Council is aiming to build 167 social and affordable homes this year but claims it's on course to deliver 232. Corofin Fianna Fáil Councillor Joe Killeen, who sits on the Rural Development SPC, says successful governments' housing policies have proven unsuccessful in recent years.

In this sermon titled "Tombs, Testimony & Towns," we explore the radical transformation of the Gerasene demoniac as a "Call from Chaos to Courier". By examining Mark 5:1–20, we see Jesus cross a storm-tossed sea to rescue a single man trapped in the "De-Creation" of spiritual darkness, isolation, and self-destruction. Just as God brought order to the formless chaos in Genesis, Jesus restores this man's Imago Dei, moving him from the graveyard of past labels and unrevealed sin into a "right mind" and restored dignity. Rather than allowing the man to leave on the boat, Jesus gives him a higher commission: to return to his own community and proclaim the mercy of God. This message serves as a powerful reminder that no tomb is too deep for Christ's reach and that our greatest moments of deliverance are meant to become our most powerful testimonies of grace    

The discussion opens with how MLB teams handle injury timelines and expectations. David Stearns insists the Mets expect Francisco Lindor to be ready for Opening Day, while other organizations take a much more conservative approach. The guys compare Lindor's situation to Corbin Carroll and Jackson Holliday, whose season will start late after surgery, with Orioles GM Mike Elias flatly ruling him out for Opening Day. Is this honesty, gamesmanship, or simply different philosophies on setting expectations? From there, the conversation shifts to the Knicks and the growing backlash against Karl-Anthony Towns. Why has he become the ultimate lightning rod, and why did even the MSG broadcast turn on him? With pointed criticism from Mike Breen and Clyde Frazier, the segment breaks down the nonstop complaining, bad fouls, and whether Towns needs to play more physically to change the narrative.

Quick recap In this episode of the Amazing Cities and Towns podcast, host Jim interviewed Michael Hingson, a blind speaker and author who shared his experiences on 9/11 and his broader life story. Michael discussed his work as a computer company executive in the World Trade Center on 9/11, where he and his guide dog Roselle survived the terrorist attacks by following emergency procedures and evacuation protocols. They also explored Michael's perspective on disability rights, technology's role in accessibility, and his work as a public speaker. The conversation highlighted Michael's philosophy on overcoming challenges and his views on artificial intelligence and its potential benefits for people with disabilities. Jim expressed admiration for Michael's leadership and resilience, and they discussed the importance of adapting to new technologies and maintaining a positive outlook despite obstacles. Summary Surviving 9/11 as a Blind Leader Jim interviews Michael Hingson, who shares his experience as a blind person who survived the 9/11 attacks in the World Trade Center. Michael describes how he and his guide dog Roselle evacuated Tower 1 after the plane hit, emphasizing that his blindness did not prevent him from understanding the situation. They discuss Michael's subsequent leadership and speaking career, with Jim mentioning potential future speaking opportunities through the National League of Cities. Surviving 9/11: A Blind Man's Story Michael shared his experience of surviving the September 11 attacks as a blind person, highlighting how his preparation and training helped him remain calm and focused during the evacuation. He described how his guide dog, Roselle, played a crucial role in keeping him and others calm, and how he used his knowledge of the World Trade Center to navigate the building during the emergency. Michael has since become a public speaker, sharing lessons learned from his experiences about teamwork, trust, leadership, and emergency preparedness. Michael's Journey with Thunderdog Michael discussed his experiences with writing and publishing two books, "Thunderdog" and "Live Like a Guy Dog." He shared how "Thunderdog" came about after meeting George Berger at the American Kennel Club Canine Yukanuba Dog Show in 2002, and how Susie Flory encouraged him to write the book. Michael explained that the book was published by Thomas Nelson in 2011 and became a New York Times bestseller. He emphasized the importance of the book in teaching people about blindness and challenging attitudes towards blind people, highlighting the high unemployment rate among employable blind individuals. Overcoming Challenges with Technology and Choice Michael shared his personal story of being born blind and overcoming obstacles, emphasizing the importance of choices and technology in his life. He discussed the concept of disability as a characteristic that everyone has, and highlighted how the Americans with Disabilities Act has provided accommodations that benefit everyone, not just those with disabilities. Jim agreed with Michael's perspective, noting how the ADA has opened doors for people with disabilities and should be seen as a natural part of society. Challenges in Accessibility Today Michael discussed the ongoing challenges of accessibility, highlighting how the Americans with Disabilities Act has made significant progress but still faces numerous battles. He shared personal anecdotes about his wife's experiences with accessibility issues and his own encounters with discrimination, emphasizing the need for societal recognition of these challenges. Michael also explained the importance of making internet websites accessible, noting that only about 3% of websites are currently accessible. He praised Apple's innovative approach to accessibility, particularly with their VoiceOver technology, while suggesting that more could be done to ensure all apps are accessible. AI's Role and Future Potential Jim and Michael discussed the role and potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in various aspects of life. Michael emphasized that AI is a valuable tool that can enhance accessibility, improve vaccine development, and assist in education by helping students learn rather than just using AI to write papers. They also talked about the progress and future of autonomous vehicles, with Jim highlighting the potential benefits for elderly people and Michael sharing his experience driving a Tesla with AI assistance. Both agreed that while AI has made significant strides, it is still in its early stages and will continue to improve over time. Guide Dogs and AI Technologies Michael discussed his experiences with guide dogs, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and trust between the handler and the dog. He explained that guide dogs are trained to ensure safe navigation, not to lead the handler, and described how he communicates with his dogs using a harness. Michael also highlighted the role of AI in assisting people with disabilities, mentioning technologies like Echo Vision glasses and the IRA (Artificial Intelligent Remote Assistant) service. He concluded by sharing his approach to interacting with the public, including allowing petting of his guide dogs when time permits. Michael's Speaking Career Promotion Jim and Michael discussed Michael's speaking career, emphasizing that his story transcends 9/11 and covers themes of life, persistence, and inspiration.

Slovakia is facing two interconnected demographic challenges: a rapidly ageing population and the continued migration of young people abroad. Patrícia Polakovičová explores how these trends shape the country's future, drawing on insights from sociologist Miloslav Bahna of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Jozef Božik, Chairman of the Association of Towns and Communities of Slovakia. Together, they examine the structural causes behind ageing, the real dynamics of youth migration, and the growing pressure on municipalities and public services across the country.

Prior to the 19th century, time was a local matter. Each town set a public clock to noon when the sun was at its highest point. Towns close together could be on different times. This system worked well enough, until the railroads arrived. Travelers found schedules confusing, since each stop followed a different local time. It was often hard to know exactly when a train would arrive or depart. The problem was solved in 1883, when the United States adopted the four time zones we know today.

America’s growth from a rugged frontier nation to the globe’s industrial superpower in the space of 100 years can be explained by one word: coal. Before coal dominance, American buildings were defined by height limits imposed by stonework. The tallest building in the 1830s was Baltimore’s 235-foot tall Phoenix Shot Tower. Transportation also worked poorly without coal. The early wood-fired 4-4-0 locomotives struggled with top freight speeds around 15 mph and pulling trains of approximately 450 tons. The transition to coal and cheap steel enabled the steel-supported 555-foot Washington Monument and allowed massive coal-fired trains to achieve express passenger speeds up to 100+ mph and haul loads over 4,000 tons. For a century the entire world was dependent on coal. It powered railroads, built urban skylines, and provided warmth, light, and power for families rich and poor. Although the American economy soared, society unknowingly suffered from coal’s debilitating health and environmental impacts. Skies were so dirty that on some days, visibility was limited to a few feet. Coal miners frequently died from cave-ins, explosions, or contracting black lung. Towns like Centralia in Illinois were fundamentally destroyed by an underground fire started in 1962 that continues to burn. Today’s guest is Bob Wyss, author of “Black Gold: The Rise, Reign, and Fall of American Coal.” We look at a range of figures that were part of coal’s story, from a largely unknown and unrecognized Pennsylvanian inventor who helped spark the Industrial Revolution to a prominent society clubwoman who clashed with the powerful coal forces in Utah that were fouling the air and sickening residents. It also includes clashes between powerful tycoons, coal miners, and the American public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GHOST CITIES AND THE STIMULUS TRAP Colleague Anne Stevenson-Yang, Wild Ride. China's growth model shifted toward massive infrastructure spending, resulting in "ghost cities" and replica Western towns built to inflate GDP rather than house people. This "Potemkin culture" peaked during the 2008 Olympics, where facades were painted to impress foreigners. To counter the global financial crisis, Beijing flooded the economy with loans, fueling a real estate bubble that consumed more cement in three years than the US did in a century, creating unsustainable debt.
