Ep 543ESPN wants one streaming app to rule all | Why Howard Stern needs the podcast world more than it needs him | OG Business
EJoe Ovies and Demetri Ravanos break down why ESPN’s streaming bundle with Fox is less about collaboration and more about Disney’s plan to dominate sports streaming in a single app. They push back on Pablo Torre’s claim that ESPN “let billions walk out the door” in podcasts, and turn their attention to Howard Stern.

Ep 53925 Soundbites That Explain 25 Years of "Triangle Good"
EJoe Ovies & Joe Giglio fire up the time machine and tell the story of Triangle sports over the last 25 years — one soundbite at a time. You’ll hear from iconic coaches like Roy Williams, Mike Krzyzewski, Mack Brown and more. You'll also hear from coaches and reminded of moments that have been memory hole'd. Plus! The Carolina Hurricanes going from hoisting the Stanley Cup in 2006 to searching for identity — until “Bunch of Jerks” sparked a franchise-wide revival. And of course, all the NC State coaches who tempted "NC State Stuff" until one coach finally killed it forever. The goal of "Brief History of Triangle Sports" is to prove a few points. First? Sports history doesn't repeat, it simply rhymes. Nothing in the Triangle happens in a vacuum given the rivalry dynamics. And most importantly -- helping younger Triangle sports fans understand why all that history matters when we discuss these teams and the results they produce today.

EWith Giglio out, former 850 The Buzz colleague Chris Clark joins Ovies for an episode that covers everything from school apps to sports conspiracies. They start with the death of PowerSchool and the rise of Infinite Campus — because parents need more things to keep up with, right? Then it’s off to Chapel Hill, where Bill Belichick has set up shop and is already playing QB mind games. Why won’t he name a starter? Spectrum News' Mike Solarte stops by to break down Panthers Fanfest and why the optimism around the team actually makes sense this year. Plus, Caroline Darney of Big Screen Sports joins to preview the upcoming Sports Podcast Festival. And to wrap it all up? Chris and Joe finally come clean: they’ve gone down the rabbit hole of kid show conspiracies. Is "Paw Patrol" really a libertarian fever dream?

Joe Ovies & Joe Giglio get his thoughts, then shift gears to NFL training camp with LockedOn Panthers host Julian Council.
