As the clock ticks on the Orioles agreeing to a lease that would gift them $600 million of Maryland taxpayer charity, Dennis Koulatsos and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ relevance and local baseball offseason silence as the turkey and pumpkin pie loom.
When our Chief Digital Officer Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection drops by the show, it usually involves music. This time after Nestor got back from an American bender through South Carolina for Sammy Hagar and Las Vegas for U2 at Sphere, he needed some answers about how Alice Cooper got there. And why people can’t shut up when Billy Joel or John Mayer are singing a love song.
In Cleveland, they’ll call it a second half masterpiece. Here in Baltimore, it’s a wake-up call for the Ravens that they’re not as good as those Power Rankings and clips from last week said they were and the same ones that we’re sure John Harbaugh never reads or watches. Nestor Aparicio checks in with #ColumnNes after the hideous 33-31 loss.
Don’t blink: Defense at work! The floor is suddenly rising and the health, cohesive improvement and sheer talent of the Ravens starts to flash the promise that something special is at work in the sixth season of The Revolution of Lamar Jackson. Read Nestor Aparicio’s latest #ColumnNes in the aftermath of the Ravens’ 37-3 rout over Seattle.
It isn’t always going to be as easy as the Ravens made it look against the Detroit Lions last week.
Over 25 years of serving the Towson and Baltimore community as an FCC licensee with nothing but local ownership of WNST-AM 1570 and operating WNST.net and now Baltimore Positive, we stand very proud of our charity and service. All of it has been powered by people like you – citizens, sports fans, great local humans who live here, work here, are from here and want to help here.
We have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in time, money, resources, goods, gifts and contributions. We asked for your help and time and love – and you always gave. Here’s the proof…
There is never a day when the microphones turn on that Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn’t discussing his
Luke Jones and Nestor head off to Texas for Game 3 at Globe Life Park with the realities of the Orioles mountain to move ahead. It was a terrible weekend for Orioles and Ravens fans but the Birds still have one more chance – or maybe two – in Arlington.
A tale of two franchises and two epic failures on the biggest sports day in the modern history of Baltimore. The #ColumnNes of Nestor Aparicio tries to find the words for a lost weekend in the Charm City that held such incredible promise for local fans.
When Dennis Koulatsos welcomed Nestor onto his WNST-AM 1570 weekly show (heard each Thursday 3-5p and Sunday 8a-noon) to discuss the biggest Baltimore sports weekend of this generation, the 32-year voice of Baltimore sports radio made it clear this was what was expected all along back in 1996 when the Ravens came to the Charm City. Stadium and parking conflicts in adjoining lots because the baseball team has earned a path to a World Series.
For two decades Charles Steinberg worked for the Baltimore Orioles and can recite the history of Orioles Magic because he was there when it happened. Checking in from his gig running the Worcester Woo Sox after a long trail of success with the Boston Red Sox, the native Baltimorean had some thoughts on the kindness of Brooks Robinson, warm memories of 33rd Street and the resurgence of the Oriole Way with the 2023 Birds.
Dennis Koulatsos and Nestor discuss the huge weekend ahead for Orioles and Ravens and city of Baltimore in what we used to call “Pittsburgh Week” here in the Charm City. Instead, it’s a schedule-making nightmare for sports fans and concert goers but we’ll take more of it!
The Ravens are stacking up road wins in the division. Next up: a trip to Pittsburgh on the backside of an impressive victory over the overwhelmed Cleveland Browns on Sunday
Our longtime baseball insider Allen McCallum puts an Orioles postseason and October baseball realities into perspective and talks pitching strategy with five days of rest before Game 1 of the ALDS at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Buckle up, Birds fans!
Been quite a week for our Luke Jones who reported on the death of Brooks Robinson, the Clinchmas night at Camden Yards and another week of infirmary reports from Owings Mills as the Ravens head to Cleveland. He also reports that the AL East Division title clubhouse celebration was a little more tame than the shower from the 2014 Orioles squad. So far…
With the Ravens offense missing key starters at every level, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the play of the $260 million quarterback and what Todd Monken – and the fans – expect from him on Sunday afternoons? Six years into the “experiment” of Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh, Lamar Jackson running the football on an RPO is still the team’s best chance for success on any given play.
At the clock struck four – and with the dreaded and departed Colts of the Irsay family proving peskier than we thought – it was the Orioles who whittled their Magic Number down to three. And it was the Baltimore Ravens who needed the magic trey that never came from the foot of Justin Tucker to win the game. Read #ColumnNes here.
Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos about when he and Steve Bisciotti talked Colts’ records and Baltimore history in Canton with Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay at The Biltmore in Arizona in 2006.
If you ever participated in or witnessed a decade of fun times, live radio shows and Baltimore sports memories with us at The Barn on Harford Road back in the 1990s when WNST was birthed by the local community, then you know it’ll never be replicated. Go through the photos and see how many legends you can identify who spent time eating crabs, drinking beer and talking sports with us – and you – in Parkville. As John Steadman once said: “Didn’t we have some good times?” What’s your favorite memory of a WNST live event over these 25 years of awesomeness? The night we brought the Lombardi Trophy by in the aftermath of Super Bowl XXXV didn’t suck.
If you are familiar with the beginnings of WNST, it probably came back on that first kickoff at Memorial Stadium on September 1, 1996 when the Baltimore Ravens were born and our DUMP TRUMPY placards made national news after NBC broadcaster Bob Trumpy wished the Charm City empty roads, warm beer and cold hot dogs. And of course, the GET NASTY flip sides took off and launched what would become WNST-AM 1570 on August 3, 1998. We will countdown our WNST Top 25 “Stories of Glory” every week through the football season. If you have pictures from this era, please email: nes@baltimorepositive.com and share and tag us on social media. We’d love to see your side of our 25 WNST Stories of Glory. And if you have a story to tell, let’s tell it. Gratitude for all of the years of your support keeping us strong and alive and thriving into our 26th year of doing it better than anyone’s ever done it!
This is the night where we well up, think nice thoughts about you and us and the way we were. And in the immortal words of Rex Barney, we say, “Thank youuuuu!” I wrote you a little love letter, Jonesy!
It was a good thing this “fourth preseason game” that counts came against the lowly of the lowliest where you’re not punished for your mistakes and miscues – but nobody looked or felt like a winner after this costly 25-9 win over the Texans. Read #ColumnNes by Nestor Aparicio here.
As the lowly Houston Texans make their way to Baltimore to become the Ravens’ first victim of the season, Luke Jones and Nestor get prepped for the new Lamar Jackson passing offense under Todd Monken to perform. How high is the ceiling?
The death of Jimmy Buffet hit so many people so hard over the Labor Day weekend. So many shows. So many memories. Our financial advisor Leonard Raskin says it’s another reminder to have another boat drink and lose yourself in Margaritaville by living your best life. Just like Jimmy would’ve wanted.
Nestor Aparicio discusses watching the start of Ravens season on television instead of being able to ask questions of the franchise like he’s done for 26 years as a Baltimore sports journalist at NFL games. The truth is coming. Watch this space…

Local Baltimore tour expert – and huge Orioles fan – Chris Riehl joins Nestor at Captain Larry’s in Federal Hill on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss what makes Charm City great through his eyes and the ears of folks who are charmed by all that our place has to offer.

Fellow Dundalk native Karen Burkhardt of the Chesapeake Feline Association shares her passion and love of cats and will be finding furever homes for these beautiful creatures at Adams Jeep in Aberdeen on Saturday, May 6th.
Childhood friend Gigi Causey Zumbas onto the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Dundalk in an effort to bring Nestor back to the dance floor as an antidote for fun and fitness after the realities of being a realtor. There are no friends like old friends!
We’re just getting started with a new baseball season but already the pitch clock, lack of shifts and the running game of the Baltimore Orioles has Luke Jones pondering all of the changes for Opening Week and the hopes of the Birds of summer.
Spending a March evening in State College waiting on Bruce Springsteen and watching Nittany Lions fans prepare for basketball March Madness, Nestor noticed the wrestling thing and asked the longtime basketball color voice of Happy Valley Dick Jerardi to explain “We Are” and talk Big 10 basketball, Bob Baffert and Kentucky Derby hopefuls.
