Our longtime producer Ray Bachman takes a break from his Trivia Night tour in Anne Arundel County to talk 25 years of fun WNST memories with Nestor at Pappas Restaurant in Glen Burnie on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.
If you ever bump into Nestor and want one of the wilder stories of his journey, ask him about the night he did a charity event with Steve McNair in Nashville. We took several busloads and planeloads of Ravens fans to Nashville several times. The 2001 playoff party was legendary but it was in January 2009 when the former Oilers, Titans and Ravens quarterback came to Limelight to greet a sea of purple. And then we threw a party. The videos tell the story better than we ever could. Especially that poor taxi driver…
We always find it rather comical that the Orioles and Angelos family nitpicks with Major League Baseball about the City Connect jerseys. In the modern era, everything the franchise does attempts to “reconnect” with the Baltimore fan base that it spent years alienating and subjugating by pampering to Washington baseball fans with the lack of the hometown city name on the road jerseys. Our radio station, hosts and listeners spent the first decade of our existence as the hometown sports radio station trying to explain to Peter Angelos why “BALTIMORE” across the crests of the visiting grays was not just a marketing ploy or a sales pitch, but a way of life for the home team.
The numbers don’t lie. There is real progress on crime in Baltimore City and City Council President Zeke Cohen shares his thoughts on progress and the hope for a brighter future in the Charm City with Nestor at MACo in Ocean City on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.
Coppin State student government leader Karis Joyner tells Nestor about her Northeast Baltimore roots and West Baltimore path to education and a degree. A little political science, some non-profit leadership and a pre-law track. Let her tell you about being young and ready to tackle the modern world.
His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude’s for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966.”
Because it’s Smalltimore at heart, we hear and read the local threads of thought leaders throughout the community. Parkville attorney Chad Cos joins Nestor at The Beaumont in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss law and order, checks and balances and what’s happening in American democracy with the ignorance of accountability beyond tribal politics. Oh, and about The Constitution…
Young, motivated and ready to continue his father’s family legacy in Baltimore County, Karson Kamenetz tells Nestor why he’s going to be entering local politics and running for Baltimore County Council at Costas Inn in Timonium on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.
A teacher and lifelong activist turned politician, it’s always a refreshing visit with Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich, who takes Nestor to class on citizenship, early education and the destructive power of money in politics. There’s even a little baseball in here…

The three-term U.S. Senator joined Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss how business works at the beach and across our state.

Stacey Munsell of Ink + Numbers joins Nestor at Gertrude’s to discuss women of Baltimore convening through business and networking

A compelling stop on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for the holidays at Weis Markets at Honeygo in Perry Hall.

We begin our month-long journey in the celebration of tastiness and our 27th Anniversary with a stop in Bel Air for the smell of fresh pretzels in the oven. You don’t have to like Philadelphia to savor the brotherly love in a Philly Pretzel Factory pretzel. Hard to believe there could possibly be 26 things even tastier but you can follow along with the hashtag #TastyNes to find out all of our personal favorites, brought to you by Curio Wellness and our Maryland Crab Cake Tour stops with the Maryland Lottery and GBMC. On the road all month sharing our favorite foods to eat…
In modern Baltimore, there are many places serving legit Jamaican cuisine but this is the #TastyNes spot we hit when we’re feeling the reggae vibe for some brown stew chicken or curry and rice and peas. The lunch specials are fantastic, too! Don’t hurry or gorge! Like great soup, it tastes even better as a leftover when those flavors meld…
When you have a french bakery and pastry shop this good downtown, you don’t need to jet off to Paris to taste the love. You can eat with your eyes at the counter at Patisserie Poupon on Baltimore Street but don’t sleep on the Gateau Breton. It’s a monster of a cookie!
Our 27th Anniversary #TastyNes Tour around town brought to you by Curio Wellness as part of our Maryland Crab Cake Tour takes us back to Catonsville and one of the tastiest special occasion treats we can find to splurge on and feel completely self-indulgent in buttery, velvety decadence. The fried lobster tail at The Beaumont is the “other” divine crustacean and is simply perfect in The ‘Ville.
We lived three blocks from Blue Moon Too in Federal Hill for over a decade and it was dangerous. It should be no shocker that the peanutty, crunchy, brunchy, fruity whipped deliciousness of this original concoction has brought foodies in from everywhere. But, yeah, it’s as decadently delightful as it ever was and worth the wait if you have to on Light Street. (Sometimes we even bring our own maple syrup!)

Sure, we give Pittsburgh a hard time but once we saw that the newest Orioles superstar Pete Alonso took his guys to The Clemente Museum when the Birds flew in, we knew it was time to reach to our old pal Duane Rieder in Da ‘Burgh to invite us behind the scenes for 21 tales of Roberto Clemente that only the curator of this fabulous place can bring to life.
Nothing has been ideal for the Baltimore Orioles pitching thus far but the past two days of Norfolk rescues for the bullpen have come from unlikely sources. This time it was Brandon Young returning for a spot start on a cold night in Chicago that got the Birds a victory after an ugly sweep in Pittsburgh. Luke Jones and Nestor tip their caps to Povich and Young and wonder when the bats will warm up this spring.
It certainly made news throughout the NFL that two-time MVP Lamar Jackson was present on the first day of the Baltimore Ravens offseason program. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the work ahead for rookie head coach Jesse Minter as Eric DeCosta and the scouting department have their hands full in trying to improve last year’s disappointing 8-9 roster. Lots of question marks and possibilities ahead with the 14th pick in two weeks at the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
Our PGA pro Ed Miller of Pine Ridge and Classic 5 Golf gets Nestor ready to smell the azaleas outside Butler Cabin and a full preview of The Masters in Augusta as he prepares for another turn on the fairway on the most famous golf course in the world. It’s golf season, Baltimore!
Since the injury to Zach Eflin last week, the Baltimore Orioles have been cobbling together innings from Norfolk call-ups and Dean Kremer hasn’t even gotten the call just yet. Luke Jones and Nestor talk pitching depth and bullpen taxing by Orioles bad starters after Pittsburgh sweep and some innings eaters in Cade Povich and Brendan Young in the chill of Chicago.
There were not many signs of life in Pittsburgh this weekend for the scuffling Baltimore Orioles, who were swept by the Pirates and are headed to to frigid Chicago with ice cold bats. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss with disgust the Orioles lost Easter weekend at The Confluence.
Stink. Stank. Stunk. And suddenly the Baltimore Orioles are 3-6 and headed on a familiar course down, and quickly. Back in December, Craig Albernaz said the Orioles were going to “attack the fundamentals,” the little details, the cleaner brand of baseball that this franchise clearly did not play over the weekend in Pittsburgh. It’s getting late early for the good start we all expected around here.
I would’ve fired you last May when you fired your manager and then hid for three days. Your “leadership” stinks but I do believe your baseball team can be a playoff contender this summer. But on the heels of last place, at some point the record belongs to you…
Our pal Dave Sheinin covered the whole wide world of sports for The Washington Post for three decades and made his first post-exit interview with Nestor a classic, discussing his best journeys to Jamaica and China with Usain Bolt and a life spent near the pool of Michael Phelps. And then there were all of the World Series games and baseball insider tales.
It’s been 43 years since Orioles legend Ken Singleton celebrated our last World Series win here in Baltimore and we’ve all been awaiting the next parade. The Sparks resident and longtime voice of the New York Yankees begins another season with Nestor as the balls and strikes change but his love for our community and commitment to the Cool Kids Campaign remains strong and sincere. Never a bad day to talk baseball, golf and some old Earl Weaver stories with Singy…
It was the mediocre start that a 3-3 opening home stand would indicate and with Zach Eflin on the shelf and the bullpen uncertainly, Luke Jones and Nestor get Baltimore Orioles fans ready for the road in Pittsburgh and Chicago and talk some April Fools’ hijinks amidst the early spring weather reports.
You can’t make the case for the present of the New York Yankees without knowing about the past. Author Mike Vaccaro tells Nestor tales of The Bosses Of The Bronx and talks baseball history and the legend and lore of the late, great George Steinbrenner and his impact on the franchise and MLB in his latest book.
Our all-time favorite brother-of-a-Hall-of-Famer Mark Mussina returns to begin another baseball season but this one has been greatly altered – and improved – by “the system” getting the calls right. Moose joins Nestor to discuss umpiring, the strike zone and the new ABS rules in MLB and why it’s quickly become hailed as one of the greatest improvements in the game in a generation.
If you missed the sold-out run of local newspaper legend Dan Rodricks’ amazing play, “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966,” it looks like you’ll have another chance next year. The incredible success and rave reviews brought the longtime Baltimore columnist back to chat with Nestor about his observations about the time, place, baseball and storylines in our city that haven’t aged – or changed – in some ways over the past 60 years.
Times have changed quickly for Orioles baseball fans regarding payroll and hope, and venerable author and Baltimorean Joel Poiley has noticed from his Florida perch. The longtime sportswriter returns to talk MLB and balls and strikes with Nestor as a promising season gets underway at Camden Yards.
Honesty. A pairing people yell about prompting real intrigue. Listeners feel our original local schtick. Delight and yearn, Baltimore! The new La Canfora and Aparicio tandem will fix those seasonal allergies of fake media, hiding owners, lying pro sports executives and general press conference doldrums.
We love our partners and sponsors at Baltimore Positive and we love it more when they love local sports as much as we do. Zach Dermer of Farnen and Dermer and The Comfort Guys joins Nestor to discuss an up-and-down first week of Orioles season and why you need to get spring maintenance so your summer doesn’t get as a hot and bothered as a manager trying to argue with the machine of the new ABS umpiring system. You’ll keep a cooler head.
A new coach. A failed trade. The loss of some key players, including center Tyler Linderbaum. It’s been three months of action and reaction but are the Baltimore Ravens improving this offseason?

As the Washington Capitals spin toward out of the playoffs, it appears that The Great Eight is skating his last shifts in a legendary NHL career. Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss balls and strikes and the end of the Alex Ovechkin Era in D.C. as April 15th looms for your taxes.
With the first week of baseball in action, our longtime baseball insider Allen McCallum discusses Orioles early strengths and weaknesses and the much-discussed ABS system of balls and strikes with Nestor.
Sure, it’s a 5-year, $68 million commitment to a starting pitcher who hadn’t even thrown a pitch for the Baltimore Orioles, but let Luke Jones and Nestor tell you what makes sense about the dollars that Mike Elias gave new hurler Shane Baz and why it happened now.
It’s been a revolutionary, game-changing concept for the sports of baseball. The first weekend of the ABS system and the challenges of pitchers, catchers and hitters has changed the strategy every night in MLB. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the concerns, drama and impact of the “new” and improved strike zone.
I met Priscilla but when do I get to meet you? I want to give my Truist trust to the next real owner of the Baltimore Orioles but when an out-of-towner starts buying “free” beer to fund a cheap social media stunt, we should all be leery in the Charm City. And I’ve met ’em all…
Seven strong innings from Trevor Rogers and a packed Oriole Park at Camden Yards kicked off the 2026 campaign in grand style with a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Luke Jones and Nestor recap a successful Opening Day in Baltimore and opine about how true quality starting pitching can take the Birds to new heights with a soft schedule and lots to recommend the squad in the early going.
Two months ago, you shook my hand all doe-eyed, took my Baltimore Positive business card at a local networking function that I actively participate in with a great group of community folks monthly, somehow believably feigned that “we’d be in touch” – I took you at your word – and then your bush league team sent along ridiculously insincere replies (or none at all) and your mostly unprofessional Lieutenants have all lined up to pretend that I don’t exist or that my questions on behalf of your fans are somehow irrelevant. I’m here holding a mirror up for you. That’s my role. You hold the power; I hold it accountable. Always…
