Podcasts about towns

On the heels of my trip with a group of Patrons to Campania, I wanted to do a show on Taurasi while it was still fresh in my mind.   Taurasi, a small (472 ha / 1,166 acres) DOCG region, is indisputably one of Italy's greatest red wines along with Barolo, Barbaresco, Brunello, Chianti, Vino Nobile, and Montefalco Sagrantino. Taurasi, made of the ancient Aglianico grape, is in Campania, more specifically in hills northeast of Irpinia/Avellino and is centered around the town of Taurasi, a small town with a 10th-century castle that was rebuilt by the Normans.   Over the 17 towns within the denomination soils and altitudes range dramatically. Higher altitudes create complex, more acidic styles due to a longer growing season with great diurnal swings. Towns with more clay create extremely tannic wines, while those with sand have certain warmth and fruitiness that makes them easy to drink in their youth. There are a multitude of styles and, with soils in the region layered like a lasagna, the flavors you get from the Aglianico grape depend largely on the site on which it grows.   Aglianico is a misunderstood grape, as is Taurasi as a wine. Aglianico is a red with complex, terroir driven flavors of dark fruit, red fruit, spice, black pepper notes, and excellent acidity and tannin. Taurasi, made from a biotype of Aglianico that is particularly dark-skinned, small berried and flavorful makes exquisite wines that have the aging capability of a Barolo or Bordeaux.   The grape translates the terroir into the bottle and both where the grapes grow and who makes the wine determines the style – it's an area you could explore for ages and keep discovering new expressions of Aglianico. In fact, Taurasi is called the “Barolo of the South” for nuance and depth of flavor, and variation of its terroir. In this show I cover the extensive history of the region, with all its ups and downs, the climate, altitudes, and land and then discuss the expression of the Aglianico grape and why it makes such fascinating wines.   If you haven't had a Taurasi, get on it. Vis a vis other top wines, it is insanely affordable (top wines are less than US$100) and it is a wine that will hold your interest with every sip!   Certainly for its history and for its quality, Taurasi is one of the great wines of the world.   Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

Tide gauges are a critical yet often overlooked tool in our fight to understand and respond to climate change. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Thaler returns to the podcast to share a powerful story about installing a tide gauge in his hometown of St. Michaels, Maryland. He breaks down how this simple device provides crucial data for flood risk, sea level rise, and community resilience, bringing science closer to home. Community science is at the heart of Dr. Thaler's work. We explore how grassroots efforts, low-cost technology, and open-source tools empower residents to monitor and respond to environmental changes themselves. Whether you're a policymaker, scientist, or citizen concerned about the impacts of coastal flooding, this episode will deepen your understanding of how data can drive change from the bottom up.

Tyrese Haliburton has a historic night as the Pacers push the Knicks to the brink

We're talking about how declining enrollments are causing college boom towns to go bust.

0:00 .... Ross hello and welcome, introduces the panel, and dedicates show #158 to Jack McVeigh of the Houston Rockets who is the only NBA player to wear uniform #58. 1:33 ... Instant reaction to Tuesday night's game #4 of the Knicks/Pacers Eastern Conference Finals playoff series. 2:45 ... Bruce highlights the performances of Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Pascal Siakam who were the biggest reasons Indiana took game #4 and grabbed a 3-1 series lead. 3:53 ... Ross pointed out how it was a game of runs but Indiana never allowed New York to really get close enough to threaten the Pacers. 4:55 ... World B was disgusted with the sloppy play of the Knicks and feels they need to reduce turnovers in game 5 if they hope to extend the series.  He is also concerned about the health of Karl-Anthony Towns who hurt his knee in the 4th quarter on Tuesday night. 7:23 ... The crew previews game 5 in New York and discusses if Tom Thibodeau will dial back his rotation as he did in the first two games. 10:17 ... Ross is concerned about how Towns will be perceived by the NY fans if he doesn't play in game 5 due to his knee.  Bruce needs Mikal Bridges to show up big in game #5, but World B points out how hard Bridges has to work on defense against Haliburton. 14:38 ... Ross tees up a brief discussion on how Thibodeau expanded his rotation and how Josh Hart nudged him into doing it by offering to come off the bench and allow Mitchell Robinson to start games 3 and 4. 16:00 ... Western Conference Finals discussion as Oklahoma City won Monday's game #4 to put a stranglehold on their series against Minnesota.  Bruce felt the tone was set in the first quarter.  World B says the series is over now that OKC has a 3-1 series lead and it was impressive how they bounced back from a 42 point loss on Saturday.  Ross agrees and praises Jalen Williams of the Thunder for his great performances.  Everyone feels the series is over except for the final result.  OKC's defense is the decisive factor. 23:25 ... Anthony Edwards needs a great performance in game 5 after scoring just 13 points in game 4.  World B feels he is not holding himself accountable. 24:18 ... Ross wants to praise Minnesota's Nickiell Alexander-Walker whose great postseason performances will help him find a team willing to pay him big bucks as a free agent this off-season. 24:50 .... Shai Gilgeous-Alexander beat Nikola Jokic for the MVP Award ... the guys discuss the large margin of victory in the voting and how both players were most deserving of the award. 28:13 ... All-NBA Team discussions ... On the first team the only quibble was Donovan Mitchell making it over Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Stephen Curry. 30:33 .... On the second team, the guys discussed LeBron James making it in spite of ESPN's Brian Windhorst not voting him on any of the three All-NBA teams. 33:36 ... On the third team, Bruce bemoaned the fact that Jaylen Brown fell two games short of the 65 game minimum to qualify for All-NBA.  Bruce felt he would have made the third team, but sacrificed an individual award in order to be healthier for the playoffs and Bruce is really annoyed at some Celtics fans who are blaming Brown for the team's earlier than expected postseason exit.  World B felt Tyler Herro should have made third team over James Harden.  Ross pointed out that if not for injury, Victor Wembanyama would also have probably made 2nd or 3rd team All-NBA and probably also won Defensive Player of the Year. 37:08 ... Smokin' Hot Take from World B ... Cade Cunningham will be first team All-NBA next season.  This bodes well for the Pistons ascending into the top 4 in the eastern conference next season. 40:10 ... Final Thoughts ... Bruce on how OKC's comeback from a 42 point loss to Minnesota last weekend reminds him of two former NBA Championship teams that had similar experiences 40 seasons ago: the 1984 Celtics and the 1985 Lakers. 41:30 .... World B on how the Knicks loss to Indiana in game one was not the biggest choke in the Knicks history.  It was 30 years ago when Reggie Miller made the Knicks the worst chokers in franchise history.  Tyrese Haliburton will clearly haunt World B's dreams for many years to come. 46:16  ... Ross on how all the off-season transactions will be very exciting this year.  And from that he says goodbye and "see you next week." TRT 46:57              

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson welcomes Nick Ponder, a lobbyist with the League of Arizona Cities and Towns, for an intense and illuminating debate on Arizona's housing woes. With insights from economist Elliot Pollack and real-world developer experience, Paul exposes how excessive city regulations, permitting delays, and zoning bottlenecks are inflating home prices and driving supply shortages. Nick pushes back, highlighting legislative trends, land constraints, and the role of corporate investors. Together, they dissect the causes, clash over solutions, and explore whether cities can be part of the fix—or are part of the problem.

The town of Penfield has to decide what to do with the Clark Road Barn — a local historic structure. A number of other local towns have moved to preserve old barns, and a group of residents in Penfield want the same approach. But the town is considering several options, including demolition. So how do our local towns decide what is worth saving? When is a structure deemed essential because of its historic character, and when is it a burden? Our guests discuss why they want towns to slow down and prioritize preservation over demolition. In studio: Katie Andres, co-producer of the documentary, "Still Standing: The Barns of J.T. Wells & Sons" Larry Francer, assistant director of the Landmark Society of Western New York Michael Jarvis, Ph.D., professor of history and archaeology at the University of Rochester

In an industry where adaptability defines success, Monte Hewett is positioned at the intersection of traditional homebuilding and general contracting. On this week's episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio, hosted by Carol Morgan of Denim Marketing, Hewett shares insights into how his company navigates the evolving demands of today's housing market by blurring the lines between fee building, general contracting and development. How the Post-Recession Market Shaped New Business Models President of Monte Hewett, Hewett was fee building long before it became a buzzword in residential construction. The post-recession market created unique opportunities that shaped his business model. “Post-recession, as far back as 2011-2012, a lot of investors bought property that had been foreclosed on, or they bought it as an opportunity to hold and build. They realized that they couldn't sell the lots or, if they did, wouldn't get the return they were looking for,” Hewett explained. “A lot of them came to us and said, ‘Why don't you go and build this land out for us, these lots and on a fee basis or a fee plus a profit share.'” This approach allowed Hewett to develop a parallel income stream while maintaining the quality standards for which his company is known. Over time, this evolved into a versatile business model that spans different market segments and product types. “I ended up building just about any type of product for a partnership that was not for sale, or if it was for sale, maybe I'm building it for somebody that doesn't have the capability to build it but wanted to be the owner on that project,” Hewett said. The diversity of Hewett's current projects demonstrates this versatility. On one end of the spectrum, he's building $2 million villas in Druid Hills. Conversely, he's constructing affordable housing units in southwest Atlanta through a tax-incentivized program. Various for-sale developments across the metro area are between these extremes, including The Towns at Wire Park in Watkinsville, The Harman in East Atlanta, Findley Row in Alpharetta and an upcoming development in Milton. Early Involvement & Collaborative Project Management Hewett's approach to general contracting goes beyond simply building what's been designed. He emphasizes the importance of early involvement in the process to maximize value for investors. “We start most of them in the design phase. We're not acquiring sites, so they'll bring us a site and say, ‘This is what we're trying to do,'” Hewett said. “For the most part, we're going in early, and sometimes we're even working on the product and building the budget as we go.” This collaborative approach helps avoid what Hewett calls “scope creep,” which occurs when amendments during construction lead to costly change orders. By establishing a clear scope statement early and working toward a guaranteed maximum price, his team can better manage expectations and deliver projects on time and within budget. Design Expertise Creating Distinctive Communities Hewett's design expertise is a significant value-add. He often contributes to site planning and amenity design to create distinctive communities. He shared an example of designing a mid-century modern clubhouse for a project called Clifton, adding value that the owners didn't envision initially. “I took it upon myself to design that clubhouse and felt like I had some creative ideas that would differentiate that product for the owners,” he said. “I added, I believe, to that project a component that they wouldn't have done themselves.” His approach to amenity centers reflects changing lifestyle needs, focusing on creating spaces that integrate into the social fabric of communities where many residents now work from home. “You never want to take the lowest bid,” he cautions. “In England, on public projects, they take the second lowest. Someone might come in low, and they see the plans are going to need a lot of architectural changes because they...

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA Conference Finals betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview features hosts Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers analyzing the 2024 NBA Conference Finals based on recent Game 7 outcomes, team trends, player performances, and betting odds. Munaf introduces the matchups, focusing on the Oklahoma City Thunder's dominant 125–93 victory over the Denver Nuggets. SGA led with 35 points, while Jalen Williams added 24. The Thunder's defense clamped down after the first quarter, and the game became one-sided by halftime. Mackenzie emphasized that this was one of the most lopsided Game 7s in NBA history and criticized analysts for underestimating OKC. SGA's playoff run is highlighted as historically elite. Mackenzie cites stats placing SGA alongside Jordan and LeBron in terms of efficiency and playoff production, calling him the true standout of this postseason. He also criticizes NBA media for not giving SGA due credit and believes the Thunder are significantly undervalued by betting markets. The hosts favor OKC in their series against the Timberwolves, recommending bets on Thunder -1.5 games (-140). They argue Minnesota's playoff path has been easier and note that OKC's defense, including players like Caruso, Dort, and Jalen Williams, is particularly effective against stars like Anthony Edwards. The conversation pivots to props, with Mackenzie suggesting Anthony Edwards under 26.5 points and Munaf recommending pivoting to Edwards' assists over 4.5, given his distribution role when facing pressure defenses. Attention then shifts to the Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and Pacers. The Knicks are favored (-145), and Mackenzie recalls that last year's series loss came without key players like Mitchell Robinson, who is now healthy and central to their defense. Both hosts agree the Knicks are deeper and more playoff-ready, especially with Jalen Brunson averaging nearly 30 PPG against Indiana and Karl-Anthony Towns showing breakout potential. They support a Knicks Game 1 -4 bet and consider Towns (13-1) a value pick for East Finals MVP. For Game 1 of Thunder-Timberwolves, Munaf's best bet is the under (215.5), supported by OKC's playoff pace trends and Minnesota's preference for slower half-court sets. Mackenzie agrees, noting the Thunder's short rest and defensive versatility. The episode concludes with a recap of best bets, a promo code (RIM10), and brief updates on MLB and NFL betting.

A caller thinks KAT looks awkward on the court at times. Boomer said, ‘welcome to New York' to Towns after that comment. Boomer was happy with the win, but Gio said just because they won doesn't mean they can't criticize Towns.

Can the Knicks win the first two in Boston? Boomer noted the Celtics' off night and injuries, highlighting the Villanova players' performance. While Boomer was happy with the Knicks' win, Gio insisted it doesn't preclude criticizing Towns. A reluctant woman now enjoys the show. Jerry's update included Tommy Lugauer's pre-Game 1 "Knicks in six" prediction, the Celtics missing 45 of 60 three-pointers, and Evan Roberts' reaction. The Yankees lost again due to Devin Williams' rough inning. The Mets won in Arizona despite bullpen struggles. The Islanders won the draft lottery. Game 2 is tomorrow in Boston, followed by a Saturday game at the Garden. Gio almost gave up watching when the Knicks were down 20.

Hour 1 The Knicks beat the Celtics in Boston (Game 1). Boomer discussed bench performances and Boston's record number of missed threes, calling their 60 three-point attempts "lazy basketball." He noted three road teams won Game 1, attributing it to excessive rest. Gio sees reasons for Knicks' series belief, praising OG Anunoby and Jalen Brunson's ball-handling. Jerry's update included the Knicks' post-game sound. The Nuggets also won Game 1 on the road. The Mets beat Arizona with homers from Lindor and Alonso, while the Yankees lost to the Padres. The Ravens released Justin Tucker, and the Islanders won the draft lottery. Actor Timothee Chalamet skipped the MET Gala to support the Knicks, while Spike Lee attended the Gala instead. Hour 2 Last night, the Knicks won Game 1 in Boston, fueled by Villanova players Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges. Boomer observed Hart sometimes seems hesitant to shoot, while Gio apologized to Bridges (Boomer's reaction: "who cares?"). Jerry's update featured Kevin Harlan's call of the Knicks' victory and Coach Thibs discussing their road playoff performance. The Yankees lost their third straight game. Lindor and Alonso homered in the Mets' win in Arizona. The hour concluded with Knicks fan calls. Hour 3 Can the Knicks win the first two in Boston? Boomer noted the Celtics' off night and injuries, highlighting the Villanova players' performance. While Boomer was happy with the Knicks' win, Gio insisted it doesn't preclude criticizing Towns. A reluctant woman now enjoys the show. Jerry's update included Tommy Lugauer's pre-Game 1 "Knicks in six" prediction, the Celtics missing 45 of 60 three-pointers, and Evan Roberts' reaction. The Yankees lost again due to Devin Williams' rough inning. The Mets won in Arizona despite bullpen struggles. The Islanders won the draft lottery.

The show ended with a clip of Bill de Blasio promoting vaccinations with free food.

More Knicks-Pistons talk sets up the Celtics series. Boomer noted their poor record against top teams like Boston, leading to an angry caller accusing them of being Nets fans due to negativity. The bench will be key against Boston, as starters are even. A caller questioned Achiuwa's absence. Jerry's update featured Ian Eagle's call of Brunson's winner and Thibs' comment. Clippers-Nuggets are tied 3-3. 'Bad Tiki', A-I Rodgers, and A-I Deion pranked A-I Shedeur Sanders. Next hour's Jerry update will include their Kentucky Derby pick. A caller criticized Towns' inconsistency. Boomer needs a Celtics jersey for the freezer - who should it be?

The Knicks beat the Pistons on Brunson's big shot, but Gio's worried about Monday in Boston. Should we celebrate the win? Beating Boston requires last night's Bridges and Game 3 Towns. Jerry's first update includes Knicks win sounds. Shaq weighed in on the Knicks facing Boston. Clippers-Nuggets tied 3-3. Mets lost to D-Backs (4-2), despite Soto's 2 HRs; he feels no pressure, which Boomer likes. Joe Schoen will use the 'Josh Allen' model with Jaxson Dart.

Jordon Hudson won 'Miss Hancock' 2025 and is a 'Miss Maine' contestant. Jerry's update included a NC reporter on Dan Patrick discussing her impact on football. Jerry played sounds of the Knicks' win. Their 'horse guy' gave their Kentucky Derby pick. Redick mentioned some players not being in 'championship shape', which Boomer thinks is about Doncic. Nabers discussed receivers wanting the ball for pay on Melo's podcast. The Rangers are reportedly hiring Mike Sullivan, which Boomer likened to getting Pat Riley. Hour 4 The Knicks beat Detroit, Brunson scored 40 with a game-winning 3, and will face Boston Monday. Boomer sees the Boston series hinging on bench play. Jerry's update included Knicks win sounds, Marbury's reaction, and Shaq calling Brunson a superstar. The Knicks had contrasting home/away performances. Boomer loves the 'Fat Luka' narrative for Moment of the Day. Boomer thanked everyone for fundraising for Sunday's Five Borough Bike Tour in the final segment of the week.

The Knicks failed to close out Detroit at home in Game 5, and now face a must-win on the road in Game 6. CP The Fanchise is joined by George from Into the Knicksverse to break down the Knicks' lackluster performance, what went wrong at MSG, and the key adjustments needed to bounce back and finish the series.

The Knicks lost Game 5 at MSG, and Gio doubts their ability to compete with the Celtics without top performances from Brunson and Towns, noting their better play in Detroit. Jerry's first update covered the Knicks' loss, the Pacers' win (highlighted by Haliburton's dad taunting Giannis), and other NBA action. The Mets had a strong defensive inning with Lindor and Taylor excelling, and Alonso homered. The Yankees hit three straight home runs to start their game, and Rodon was perfect through five. The Devils are out of the playoffs. Finally, an email from Bill Belichick's book tour revealed to Boomer a reason for his strained relationship with Robert Kraft.

Today's word of the day is ‘flop' as in flail as in faking as in Knicks as in Pistons as in Jalen Brunson as in Mikel Bridges as in Karl-Anthony Towns. The Knicks lost a close one last night to the Pistons at The Garden. The internet is all over Brunson for flopping. Bridges and Towns were bad. The Pistons got its first playoff win since 2008!
