Send us Fan MailCollege football expert Phil Steele joins the Connecticut Scoreboard Podcast to share his preseason thoughts on UConn Football ahead of the 2026 season.Steele explains how he evaluates a team like UConn that has undergone significant changes, what stands out to him about new head coach Jason Candle, and which Huskies players have caught his eye heading into the season.

In this two-guest episode, Howard Farran brings together two clinicians unafraid to challenge the status quo. Dr. Michael DeLuke is a board-certified orthodontist who graduated valedictorian from SUNY Stony Brook and served as Chief Resident at UConn before owning DeLuke Orthodontics for nearly two decades. He has since retired from private practice to teach and coach full-time, serving on faculty at Montefiore Einstein and a Florida pediatric dental residency, and founding DeLuke Orthodontic Coaching ("DOC") and The DOC Podcast. Dr. Mark Levi is a Sydney-based dentist who, after his own severe obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis in 1998, dedicated his career to airway-focused care — co-founding integrated medical/dental sleep clinics, publishing in the European Sleep Journal, and in 2021 transitioning to an exclusive pediatric airway, breathing, and sleep clinic treating children aged 3 to 12. The conversation dives into early, airway-focused orthodontic and orthopedic treatment — why both guests believe it matters so much, and why the orthodontic establishment and academia have been so resistant to it. They explore what pediatric sleep-disordered breathing actually is and why it should be on every dentist's radar, what "evidence-based practice" really means, and the long-term physiological payoff of intervening in a generation of four-to-six-year-olds before problems compound. Dr. Levi shares his philosophy of engaging parents by talking symptoms rather than treatment protocols — the approach behind hundreds of five-star reviews and his plans to expand into the U.S. — while Dr. DeLuke also opens up about the business side of dentistry, including how he reached financial freedom at 46 after starting his practice at 30 with zero assets and a mountain of student debt.   Episode #1727 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard sits down with two outspoken voices in orthodontics and airway: Dr. Michael DeLuke — board-certified orthodontist, coach, and host of The DOC Podcast — and Dr. Mark Levi, an Australian pioneer in pediatric airway, breathing, and sleep. From why the ortho establishment resists early airway-focused treatment, to treating a generation of 4–6 year olds, to achieving financial freedom in dentistry — this conversation pulls no punches.

For decades, journalist Scott Wallace has traveled the world documenting conflict, culture, and extraordinary lives. But nothing compared to a ten-week expedition through one of the most remote regions of the Brazilian Amazon. His assignment: accompany an effort to help protect one of the last uncontacted tribes on Earth, the Flecheiros, or “People of the Arrow,” while avoiding contact with them at all costs. He talks about the eerie realization that the tribe was silently tracking his every move, the ethical tensions of documenting such a story, and why the experience forever changed how he thinks about humanity, wonder, and our responsibility to one another.

In this episode of Research 2 Reps, we're joined by Dr. Catherine Saenz for a conversation that starts with her path through exercise science, nutrition, research, professional baseball, and academia. Dr. Saenz has built a career at the intersection of several disciplines, and we talk about how that background shapes her view of athlete health and performance. From her early research experiences at Maryland to her graduate work at UConn and Ohio State, she shares how her curiosity about performance nutrition eventually expanded into a much bigger picture of how training, nutrition, recovery, and physiology work together. We also spend a good part of the conversation digging into ketogenic diets and what the research actually tells us about using them with athletes. Catherine explains why no single sport or athlete is automatically a good fit, and why the individual, the timing, and the reason for using a particular dietary approach all matter. From elite ultra-endurance athletes using carbohydrates during competition to the differences between nutritional ketosis and ketone supplements, this conversation is a good reminder that performance decisions rarely happen in isolation. We close out this first part by talking about something that matters just as much as the science: learning how to listen, communicate, and work effectively within a multidisciplinary performance team.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season. The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order. Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

Professor of Applied Physics, Ronald Mallett, joins the program to explain why he believes time travel is not only possible, but why it could also explain some of humanity's biggest mysteries—including whether future humans may already be visiting us.Driven by the devastating loss of his father at a young age, Dr. Mallett dedicated his life to understanding the physics of time travel in hopes of one day finding a way to save him. That deeply personal mission became a lifelong scientific pursuit, leading him to develop a theory he believes could make time travel possible.Today, we explore the science behind time travel, whether changing the past could prevent tragedies or save lives, the grandfather paradox, the possibility of future humans traveling back through time and why mainstream science has been slow to embrace these ideas.  Whether you're fascinated by physics, UFOs, or the biggest unanswered questions about our universe, this discussion will challenge how you think about time, reality, and humanity's future.Learn more about Professor Ronald Mallett at Physics.UConn.edu.

Welcome back to Running It Back, the Lessons Learned From Sports podcast! We are eyeballs deep in sports lesson fodder this week, fresh off the Knicks hangover period and diving straight into a brand new World Cup season. We bring you the raw analysis, front-office chemistry checks, and unique banter you love, keeping it completely real as we look at the shifting landscape of modern sports. The 2026 NBA Draft: Analytics vs. Proven Winners We kick things off by looking at the NBA Draft and questioning why front offices continue to shy away from drafting proven winners. We look at Jalen Brunson's incredible championship history as the ultimate counterpoint and debate why we would still select a winner like Cameron Boozer over high-ceiling potential bets like AJ Dobbins. We also break down how NIL changes are shifting the landscape of college sports, keeping top-tier talent playing domestically so fans actually get a chance to see them before draft night. Then we discuss how Danny Hurley is fast becoming the Nick Saban of the NBA draft by molding UConn players to be immediately ready for the league. Finally, we examine how the Knicks provided a blueprint on "wemby-proofing" a team by throwing raw upper-body strength and wide frames at Victor Wembanyama, and why OKC and the Spurs are playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. Mega Trades & LeBron's Passive-Aggressive Shenanigans Next, all hell breaks loose in the trade landscape as we unpack the massive blockbuster trade sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat. Miami gives up Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, and a haul of picks, prompting us to debate whether a twin-towers frontcourt with Giannis and Bam Adebayo will dominate or just look awkward on shooting and spacing. We run it back by analyzing the historical returns of the 2019 Anthony Davis trade and the 2021 James Harden deal to figure out who actually won those legacy-defining moves. Then we dive headfirst into the scuttlebutt surrounding LeBron James's shenanigans and a wild potential LeBron-AD mega-team reunion with Golden State. We break down whether LeBron is playing the role of a passive-aggressive drama king or if the Warriors can actually assemble a savvy, elite veteran lineup with Steph, Draymond, and the crew. Plus, Mike drops live news about DeAndre Ayton picking up his player option, leaving Tarlin completely stunned and reckoning with Pelinka's draft shortcomings and a defensively-challenged Lakers backcourt. World Cup Fever & Soccer Lingo Quiz We wrap things up by catching World Cup fever because the absolute biggest stars like Messi, Mbappe, and Haaland are actually performing and delivering dominant spectacles on the pitch. We talk about the impressive TV product, the incredible depth of the US men's team reserves, and the unexpected beautiful bond between international fans and American host cities. To close it out, Tarlin puts Mike's football knowledge to the test with a surprise lingo quiz, leaving you with everything you need to know about a brace, a hole, and a glut!

Some people talk about the climb.Jim Mora lives it.Every job. Every challenge. Every program down on their luck handed to him with a handshake and a good luck. He doesn't flinch. He leans in. And he loves it.Coach Mora grew up in Seattle with mountains everywhere and vistas saying, can you get there? As you might imagine, he never stopped answering that question in the coaching profession.I've known Coach Mora for almost 15 years and what struck me most in today's podcast was that his essence, at this stage, is about impact and in this conversation, you can feel the intentionality behind that mission.He arrived at Colorado State with nineteen players from UConn and a gut feeling. Not blind optimism. Earned optimism as he's done the reclamation project before and he knows what it feels like when it's working and he knows how to set and maintain a standard. (Hey IU fans, does that remind you of someone?)From the players to the staff to the kid folding towels at six in the morning. It's real. And in the latest episode of THE DAWN, presented by the Pac-12 and Y-Option, Coach Mora's mission will inspire you with relative ease to Chase What Matters in your own life.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with legendary UConn basketball coach Dan Hurley for an honest and energizing conversation about building a championship culture, relentless leadership, and the transformative power of purpose-driven coaching.   From his early days learning from a Hall of Fame father, to guiding players through the rigors of college basketball's toughest moments, Dan opens up about the realities of forming a great team in the era of the transfer portal, NIL, and social media. He shares the values at the core of the UConn program—relentless competitive effort, mindful communication, a dedication to the "pack," and the consistent pursuit of growth—explaining how accountability and care come together in an environment that pushes players past their limits and deepens their belief in themselves.   Throughout this conversation, Dan reflects on the importance of love-tough coaching, the urgency of making an impact on young lives, and the crucial role that faith and self-development play in his own journey. Whether he's describing his mindful approach to team-building, the vulnerability he shares with his athletes, or the discipline and devotion it takes to chase excellence, Dan's story is both inspiring and down-to-earth.   About Dan: Dan Hurley is one of the most accomplished coaches in modern college basketball, leading the University of Connecticut back to national prominence since becoming the program's 19th head coach in 2018. In eight seasons at UConn, Hurley has compiled a 199-75 record, guided the Huskies to six consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, three Final Fours in four seasons, back-to-back NCAA National Championships in 2023 and 2024, and a national runner-up finish in 2026. His teams won 13 consecutive NCAA Tournament games from 2023-25, with all 12 victories during the championship runs coming by double digits—an NCAA record. Since 2022-23, UConn has posted a 126-28 record, the most successful four-year stretch in program history. Hurley was named the 2024 Naismith College Coach of the Year and BIG EAST Coach of the Year after leading UConn to a school-record 37 wins, BIG EAST regular season and tournament championships, and the program's sixth national title. He owns the highest winning percentage in BIG EAST history (minimum 100 conference games) and has developed 12 NBA players, including four lottery selections, during his tenure. Prior to Connecticut, Hurley transformed programs at Rhode Island and Wagner, leading Rhode Island to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and Atlantic 10 regular-season and tournament championships. Across 16 collegiate seasons, he has amassed a 350-180 career record. A Jersey City native, Hurley was raised in one of basketball's most accomplished families. His father, Hall of Famer Bob Hurley Sr., built the legendary St. Anthony High School program, while his brother Bobby won two NCAA championships at Duke. Before entering the college ranks as a head coach, Hurley compiled a 223-21 record in nine seasons at St. Benedict's Prep, developing multiple future NBA players. Known for his relentless competitiveness, player development, and elite two-way teams, Hurley has become one of the defining figures in college basketball. In 2025, he became a New York Times bestselling author with his memoir, Never Stop: Life, Leadership and What It Takes to Be Great.

Nick and Ray discuss all three picks for the Sacramento Kings in their review of the 2026 NBA Draft. They start out by covering Darius Acuff Jr., the #7 overall pick and star Arkansas point guard who was long rumored to have been a target for the Kings, including his remarkable scoring and playmaking abilities and some of his concerns on defense. Then, they talk about UConn forward Alex Karaban, the trade that the Kings made to move up to #29, and how Karaban's shooting, leadership, and strong help defense would fit with the Kings. Finally, they cover Houston Cougars guard Emanuel Sharp and his ability to play a factor in the rotation for the Kings next season with his 3-and-D skill set.
