PTBN's NBA-Team: Sharing Is Scary?

Thanksgiving week is here, but some NBA teams this seasons have been more busy sharing injuries & playoff seeds than sharing the ball (just ask the Philadelphia 76ers!). But thankfully, two who have shared the microphone for years, Adam Murray & Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are here to provide family therapy for teams struggling at the table. The Cleveland Cavaliers finally lost a game to the defending champion Boston Celtics on national television, but can we take any stock in the match up, and who else in the East can catch up to them? Franz Wagner is having a career year on a good Orlando team, but will it close to impossible for him to win M.I.P.? The Rockets are doing a lot of things right, but why are we both concerned about them? Riche and Adam also discuss the dominant East-West combo of Giannis & Jokic, the scrappy Detroit Pistons, the new All-Star Game format, who will make it to Las Vegas for the NBA Cup, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 326 with the NBA-Team!

Making Mt. Rushmore #54 - James Bond Villains / James Bond Title Songs

In the fifty-fourth episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator Steve Riddle welcomes Ashley Cruse, Jeremy Nichols, and Scott Criscuolo to discuss which Bond Villains deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Ernst Stavro Blofled a no-brainer? What about Francisco Scaramanga? Does Auric Goldfinger grab a spot? Does Jaws or Le Chiffre deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Bond Title Songs will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that Nobody Does It Better shouldn’t get a spot? Will Goldfinger be included? Is Skyfall in the conversation? What about For Your Eyes Only or Live and Let Die?

It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 513 & 514 - Max Headroom (The TV Series)/Max Headroom (The Piracy Incident)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we’re going 20 minutes into the future!
 
First, before this week’s episodes, we discuss the future of the podcast here on Place to be Nation POP and then discuss what’s to come in the coming year.
 
Then, we start by talking about one of the biggest pop culture sensations in the 1980s who was an omnipresent personality for the computer generation named Max Headroom.  Not only was Max Headroom a talk show host, a soda pitchman, and visible on different mediums in the latter half of the 80s, but this phenomenon even got a scripted television show which ran over two seasons, a show about a post-apocalyptic dystopia reminiscent of 1984.
 
Finally, in 1987, the signals of both WGN and WTTV in Chicago were overtaken by two brief unknown signals, both showing an unknown figure wearing a Max Headroom mask.  To this day, there are more answers than questions about these incidents:  Who did this?  How did they do it?  Why did they do it?  To this day, these brief interruptions remain one of the biggest mysteries to occur on U.S. broadcast television.

PTBN's NBA-Team: Early Exits

It feels like 'grand opening, grand closing' for some NBA teams and players already getting bit badly by the injury bug as the 2024-25 season gets through its first football-distracted month. But we have no injuries here, so Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are ready to take the league on. The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken the whole league on, and haven't lost yet, but can they keep the hot streak going? Is Nikola Jokic probably going to win league MVP for the fourth time as he leads the league in rebounds and assists? Is it panic time already in Milwaukee with Giannis and Doc Rivers? And do the Chicago Bulls take the cake as THE worst defense in the NBA so far? Riche and Adam also discuss 'Inside the NBA' surviving after a court settlement between TWD and the league, M.I.P. candidates, League Pass guilty pleasures, and more! So suit up and take it in episode 325 with the NBA-Team!
