Josip Broz was the wartime resistance leader who became Tito, the strongman ruler of Yugoslavia. He defeated both Hitler and Mussolini. He stared down Stalin. He consolidated much of the Balkans as a single state, helping it to punch above its weight. But beyond his undoubted political skill and avuncular demeanour there was also a darkness… and an iron fist. So who really was the man behind the name? How did he chart a third way through the Cold War? And how is he remembered today? A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Paul McGann. Featuring Neil Barnett, Branko Brkic, Christopher Catherwood, Richard Mills, Nicholas O'Shaughnessy, Geoffrey Swain, Susan L Woodward. This is Part 1 of 5. Written by Jeff Dawson | Assistant Producer: Luke Lonergan | Exec produced by Joel Duddell | Sound supervisor: Tom Pink | Sound design & audio editing by George Tapp | Assembly editing by Dorry Macaulay, Rob Plummer, Josh Latham | Compositions by Oliver Baines, Dorry Macaulay, Tom Pink | Mix & mastering: Cian Ryan-Morgan | Recording engineer: Joseph McGann.

George Lee is one of the young trapshooters people need to be watching.In this episode of Trap Talk, Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with George Lee from Hickman, Nebraska, a rising young shooter who has already built an impressive resume in a short amount of time. George talks about getting started through the Norris trap team, breaking 100 straight in singles at his very first registered ATA shoot, and how that early success lit the fire to chase bigger shoots, All-American goals, and tougher competition.The guys dig into George's shooting journey, including his 856-target singles long run, breaking his first 100 in doubles at the Grand American, his equipment changes from a Ruger Red Label to a Browning 725 and then a Krieghoff, and the adjustments he is making to improve his handicap and overall game. They also talk about Nebraska's incredible youth trapshooting program, learning by watching better shooters, dealing with prescription shooting lenses and contacts, and the importance of staying humble, asking questions, and respecting the game. George also shares a little about faith, family, Big Red Motorsports, and what it is like growing up around both business and competitive trapshooting.This is a great episode for young shooters, parents, coaches, and anyone who loves seeing the next generation of trapshooting talent coming up strong.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!  It really helps the show!  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@traptalk27Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/traptalkfromthebackfence/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/traptalk27TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trap.talk.podcast*** Email us your listener questions to askus@traptalkpodcast.com *** *** Visit TrapTalkPodcast.com for all our links! ***

Danny Weidler, Adam Pengilly and Charlie White are all back for a big episode of Triple M NRL's The Journos! St George Illawarra Dragons cannot avoid the spotlight as potential superstar front-rower Loko Pasifiki Tonga has grown tired of not getting picked by coach Shane Flanagan. Danny spoke to Flanno before the podcast to shed more light on the situation. But Shane's job continues to be thrown into growing doubt as the pressure intensifies week by week. And we also question why a club who is in desperate need for a halfback didn't enter the race for many players who were available? Players who were flourishing last season and have been now, currently. We get the full story on what happened between Gorden Tallis and the Brisbane Broncos spin doctor as the feud between the former legend and the club continues to grow. Matt Burton wants to stay as a Bulldog but even as both camps have started talks, an agreement is far from done. Will there be a salary cap squeeze in Belmore? Will Jahream Bula stay at the Wests Tigers? The club is in fine form but his agent is Isaac Moses and he has a big history with the club's coach Benji Marshall! Tune in for everything above and more!But also if you're able to have a look, here's the fundraiser for Jacek McLaurin who sadly suffered a spinal cord injury from playing footy.

It was a rookie season of the ages, until it wasn't. A cut tire and Pocono's unforgiving steel boiler-plate walls left Dale Earnhardt with two broken collarbones and an open-ended timeframe for recovery. The NASCAR Cup circuit would then roll on as he began to mend in an East Stroudsburg, PA hospital. The progress he made in the stock car ranks and his grip on the 1979 Rookie of the Year award would be tested as his closest competitors in the freshman race would continue onward. Even worse, his own ride and future could be in jeopardy, as the Osterlund Racing team makes a call to one of the greatest drivers in history to fill-in during the interim. On this episode of Becoming Earnhardt, our exploration of the 1979 NASCAR Cup season unpacks races 20 through 24. Our main character will wrestle with watching from the sidelines as his blue and yellow number-2 gets driven by a NASCAR legend at some of his favorite tracks. The Cup contingent returns to Talladega, Michigan, Bristol and Darlington. When the Osterlund crew finds victory lane without him, Dale makes a miraculous return to the driver's seat, defying his doctors, the press and the rest of the NASCAR garage.FanDuel: Must be 21+ and present in select states (for Kansas, in affiliation with Kansas Star Casino) or 18+ and present in D.C.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with Brian Latimer to break down power-finesse fishing for cold water bass, why he never changes his finesse approach even in winter, how to catch shallow bass in the cold months, and the bait cues he relies on when water temps drop. Brian explains late-fall and winter bass behavior, his swim jig + finesse worm confidence, and how to trigger lethargic fish in cold water without going ultra-finesse.We're also joined by Tripp Berlinsky, winner of the Bassmaster College Bracket and now headed to the 2025 Bassmaster Classic. Trip talks about confidence as a young angler, breaking into professional bass fishing, who he is as a fisherman, and drops some juice on throwing a big topwater Spook even in tough conditions.

The conversation then turns to the St. Louis Blues, with preseason action against the Dallas Stars highlighted by Justin Carbonneau's first NHL goal and insight from Head Coach Jim Montgomery. The hour wraps up on the pitch, as St. Louis City SC claimed a key road win over the San Jose Earthquakes behind Brendan McSorley's first career MLS brace, pointing to a promising future for the club.

Geoffrey Blake is an Emmy nominated, two-time SAG Award winning actor best known for his role as 'Wesley' (the abusive radical boyfriend) opposite Robin Wright's 'Jennie' in the iconic Academy Award Best Picture Forrest Gump. In addition to that film, he has appeared alongside Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks in multiple films. Those performances are part of his frequent collaborations with such Academy Award winning filmmakers as Robert Zemeckis and Ron Howard (Forrest Gump, Contact, Cast Away, Appollo 13, EDtv,  and Frost/Nixon.) His most critically acclaimed performance was that of the preppy pipe-smoking astrophysicist 'Fisher', the right-hand man, in the Sci-Fi classic Contact opposite Academy Award winner Jodie Foster. Blake has well over 100 credits to his name in both television and film. In the 1980's and early 1990's, he frequently collaborated with friend and colleague, Emilio Estevez. The two met on the generation defining film Young Guns where he portrayed 'McCloskey', the Young Gun snitch, opposite Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Dermot Mulroney. He would go on to make four more films with Estevez as both an actor and director (Men at Work, Rated X, The War at Home, Nightbreaker). He also worked with other luminary filmmakers such as Ridley & Tony Scott (The Man in the High Castle, Enemy of the State), Paul Mazursky (The Pickle), Frank Darabont (Mob City), Barry Levinson (Wag the Dog), Roland Joffe (Texas Rising) and numerous others. In addition, he has appeared in a multitude of Emmy Award winning series, mini-series, and movies for television with prolific content providers such as Steven Bochco, David Milch, Jerry Bruckheimer, Shonda Rhimes, David Shore, Paul Attanosio, Don Bellisario, and Dick Wolf, repeatedly reaching out to Blake to be on their shows.
