As the Baltimore Ravens welcome a new rookie class and another summer of high expectations, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the other AFC North foes and who is doing what and where in the NFL as hope abounds around the league.

Nate Wiggins and the rest of Baltimore's rookie class gathered in Owings Mills this past weekend.

The 2021 first-round pick is now set to make $13.251 million guaranteed for the 2025 season.

Our old NFL draftnik and historian Dennis Koulatsos joins Nestor for an annual evaluation of the Ravens' draft class and needs heading into the spring.

Of course we know the Baltimore Ravens don't have to play this weekend. But what if they did? Luke Jones and Nestor assess the spring additions and subtractions and how the Ravens' draft picks will find playing time and opportunities in camp.

With so much focus on the flaring needs on the offensive line, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the wisdom and ideology behind the Ravens' selection of cornerback Nate Wiggins in the first round and how the franchise will ultimately protect Lamar Jackson and stoke the running game.

Will second-round pick Roger Rosengarten be ready to start at right tackle as a rookie?

"We’ve got to develop these guys, and they have to play for us, and that’s the reality that we find ourselves in."

Back in 1996, Nestor was working with the Ed Block Courage Awards to raise money and awareness and dreamed up a Baltimore banquet that would bring together all of the local professional sports teams to honor the good people who play the games. The Nasty Nice Guy Awards hosted exclusively at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie lasted eight years and raised over $150,000 for local charities. The late, great Bobby Nyk played the tunes and we partied for a purpose with a lot of very recognizable faces. Elrod Hendricks represented the Baltimore Orioles every year so you know it was the place to be! Ask anyone who attended these incredible nights about their pictures with Cal Ripken, Ray Lewis, Art Donovan, Mike Flanagan, Jon Ogden, Gov. William Donald Schaefer, Brian Billick, Fang Mitchell and so many others.

Legendary UMBC soccer head coach Pete Caringi joins Nestor on The Maryland Crab Cake Tour at McFaul's Oyster and Reel in Essex and tells Nestor about why he left and what he plans to do now that he's handed the reigns to longtime assistant Anthony Adams in Catonsville.

He is the presumptive next mayor of Baltimore and the current City Council President and we had a lot of questions for Brandon Scott as we discussed his victory, COVID and how to send the kids back to school in Maryland.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn. Watch "No One Listens; Everyone Hears" – The Story of Baltimore Positive, Nestor Aparicio & WNST" here.

Our oldest media pal Dick Jerardi joins Nestor to discuss Kentucky Derby fave Fierceness and the future of Preakness in Baltimore. Oh, and everything you ever wanted to know about the Beyer Speed Number. Get educated and caught up on the horse racing world as we run for the roses in Louisville on Saturday.

Our financial guy Leonard Raskin tells Nestor about why he wrote his new book on money and trust and the importance of taking care of your assets in a professional manner. It all starts with fiduciary responsibilities.

We have all witnessed the laws and governance around cannabis changing everywhere in our county but with news out of Washington, D.C. last week about federal changes in the Schedule 1 status for a medicinal plant, our Chief Cannabis Officer Wendy Bronfein of Curio Wellness tells us what it all might mean in the near future.

In an industry that has been famously and dangerously slow to change, the future of the Maryland Jockey Club, Preakness, Pimlico and Laurel is about to change dramtically and forever. Nestor had a lot of questions – and historical perspective – for David Richardson and Alan Foreman, who try to answer all of the mystery surrounding the Stronach family, the local tracks and the future of the second crown of horse racing's Triple Crown at Old Hilltop in Baltimore.
