The heady hangover of BMW Championship and golf awesomeness at Caves Valley

If you witnessed either of the two BMW Championship stops at Caves Valley over the past four years, you know what we’re talking about here at Faidley’s on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

Sheppard joins Nestor to discuss an amazing weekend of Scottie Scheffler memories and wonder aloud if there are any more PGA memories coming in the future of Baltimore after a pair of big weeks and a great setting here in the north county.

Jackpot fever!

Adding up the numbers of Maryland Lottery revenue

Every year at the MACo event in Ocean City, John Martin and Seth Elkin of The Maryland Lottery give Nestor a full report and where all of the dough goes through casino and sports wagering and the many streams of revenue and distribution for the state’s gambling agency. It’s more interesting than you think…

Facing I.C.E. and not playing nice with fascists

We always discuss housing and urban development with Councilwoman Odette Ramos but when the I.C.E. folks are randomly targeting Latinos and Trump has taken over Washington D.C. with force, you can expect the only elected Latina in Baltimore City to have a lot of questions for masked federal agents terrorizing our local communities and citizens of color.

In search of that next great sandwich in life…and finding it on the road to Philly!

The next time you’re out having the best meal of the week or month or year, just remember it’s the icing on the cake to the good life when you find a new place or experience that is memorable.

Four decades of Chipping away the power of rock music with Enuff Z’Nuff

When Chip Z’Nuff showed up on local timelines crushing the music of Guns N’ Roses with tribute band Pretty Tied Up last month in Fallston, we knew it was time to relive the magical mystery tour of peace and love and Hammerjacks memories. The new thing is always the best of the old things and Chip returns as the living embodiment of the power of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” – in moderation and not necessarily in that order – to discuss modern touring, his time with Steven Adler and new Enuff Z’Nuff music with Nestor.

A life in MLB ballparks brought to life

When you spent 16 summers in every ballpark chronicling the Pirates and Twins as a local ballpark reporter, you see the innards of every stadium and clubhouse in baseball. Our longtime South Philly pal, who has traveled the regional sports network pathway en route to Pittsburgh, comes back to Baltimore to talk about his first gigs as an in-stadium hype man for the Bowie Baysox and Baltimore Blast. MLB reporter Robby Incmikoski tells Nestor about his newest project and book of photographs and stories about what makes big league baseball diamonds so special to the men who play the game.

No. 27 on #TastyNes Tour and WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary Countdown: Philly Pretzel Factory

Putting the Phans Phirst in Philly to Ring The Bell

Watching the Philadelphia Phillies in another pennant race this week while Baltimore Orioles fans are witnessing the remnants of another lost, last-place season never feels good in the Charm City. Phillies fan and author Kevin Reavy talks Philadelphia sports passion and the “why” behind his book, “Ring The Bell” with Nestor, who admits his Veterans Stadium skeletons and history with the Phillie Phantic.

The connection – and distinct disconnect – of modern Philadelphia and Baltimore professional sports

They met over 40 years ago in the professional sports space. Now a Philadelphia lawyer, Baltimorean Micah Buchdahl was once a Washington Capitals PR assistant who later ran a MISL soccer franchise and maintains his long friendship with Nestor via the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers family passion on his timeline. It’s always a pleasure to welcome Buchdahl home for a discussion about winning, losing and spending the money it takes to host parades and keep fans (and their wallets) engaged.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the “Nastee” theme song from the man who wrote it

If you ever listened to Nestor Aparicio on the radio anytime from 1994 through 2014, you heard the opening theme song many times. “Do you want to get Nastee?” was a line written and rapped by Kwame’, who is involved in the National Hip-Hop Hall of Fame induction ceremony on August 23rd. Last month, he appeared in a community event here at Gwynn Oak Park and the stars aligned to allow him to finally face the music of being a very fun and important ingredient in the sound of the history of Baltimore sports radio.

Getting progressive in the Fast Play lane of Home Run Riches

As baseball season crosses over into football season, Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin gives Nestor a sniff for a taste of the Ravens scratch-off contests coming this fall once the kickoffs kick off.

Getting happier with Happy Gilmore 2

Have you seen the flick, yet?

Singing with Seal, hanging with Horn and shredding with Ozzy

Multi-talented musician and guitarist Mat Dauzat joins Nestor from ” the other L.A.” to discuss his amazing work with Seal, his intorduction to the daughter of Ozzy Osbourne and life on the road with his wife, Heather, and primary focus of Dauzat St. Marie. Oh, and of course there’s a Baltimore to Ruston connection…

There’s still time to swing for fence this summer

Going beyond the coffee on the menu at Zeke’s

There was no beef about this Guy’s pit stop in Baltimore

With our upcoming 27th Anniversary featuring our favorite places to eat set to roll out in August, we’ll be unearthing some WNST Classic chats with foodies and folks who love Maryland cuisine.

Let’s make a pit stop, shall we?

(He co-wrote that song with Baltimore’s Mitch Allen, if you didn’t know that local music nugget!)

The Friday morning town hall of local talk at Zeke’s Coffee in Lauraville

Inspired by Zeke’s Coffee roaster and taste maker Thomas Rhodes, every Friday morning a group of Lauraville locals drop by for a cup and a round table of neighborhood chatter and conviviality. The Maryland Crab Cake Tour plopped down for a morning edition with local pundit Dan Rodricks, cartoonist Ricig and coffee and democracy chatter over breakfast.

Rocking the tap from Essex to Eldersburg

The tangled web of Smalltimore we weave is woven into this Maryland Crab Cake Tour stop with Mike McKelvin of 1623 Brewing sharing his Essex hard rock Child’s Play roots with Stone Horses singer John Allen and Nestor over a beer in Eldersburg.

Drawing the lines of power in America

You probably don’t know what they look like but you know their work. Lifelong cartoonists Kevin Kallaugher and Ricig tell some Nasty tales about the power of an image of power, and drawing inspiration to make readers think peeling back the layers of art, language, meaning and persuasion. One of the best political conversations we’ve ever had on The Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Listen and learn about media in modern America. (And you’ll meet the person responsible for “Nasty” Nestor, too!)

What was it like to attend Live Aid in 1985?

On July 13, 1985 the world experienced a television super concert that has never been replicated. Live Aid was a famine relief effort for Africa, which began with a Bob Geldof song and a “Feed The World” mantra that returns every Christmas. On the 40th Anniversary of a day made famous by so many bands and artists over the years, Nestor gathered his two brotherly pals, Richard and David Abrahams, who traveled to London to see the show at Wembley Stadium while he was in Philadelphia at JFK Stadium, writing a long-forgotten review of the concert that was unearthed. Let them share memories and show and tell pictures and mementos of their experiences four decades later…
