It’s the one event we all watch but now that football season is over and we turn toward the rest of the sports landscape, what you watch is predicated on what you’re willing to pay for to subscribe. Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss the remnants of a dud Super Bowl and former cable TV ecosystem that powers modern sports streaming and confuses the hell out of the rest of us…
Our defending champion of community returns to Koco’s Pub on “A Cup of Soup or Bowl Week” as John Hoey of The Y joins Nestor to discuss community programs like Head Start affected by federal money and why community schools matter in the neighborhoods that need them the most.
As “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” week moved around town, we were moved and inspired by all of the great things happening all over Baltimore. On Day 5 at Kooper’s North, Nestor was joined by “No One Listens” documentary pal Gregg Landry of Towson Transfers and local media guru Chris Forhan, formerly of The Baltimore Banner, whose new local project spotlighting the “news you can use” approach of the new Towson Torch was a great way to discuss community and positive news right where WNST and Baltimore Positive reside.

Dr. Tim Tooten was no stranger to Baltimore citizens. The longtime education reporter at WBAL-TV and pastor of Harvest Christian Ministries joined us during the early days of COVID in June 2020 to tell us about his journey from the Suwannee River near Gainesville, Florida to Baltimore and what he has learned about people. A very compelling conversation with a Baltimore education reporting legend, who had just retired from his work as a local journalist. We lost a treasure with his passing.
Our weekly visit with Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin had plenty of sports updates for Super Bowl week and wagering but it’s this new scratch-off that Nestor wanted to talk about plus another week of big wins all over the state.

It’s always great to reconnect with Ravens legend Jamal Lewis, who joins Nestor 24 years after his Super Bowl XXXV run to discuss King Henry and Lamar running downhill before his Super Bowl day appearance in Baltimore next Sunday as part of Verizon’s Fan Fest and “World Biggest Viewing Party” coming to every NFL city for the big game.

There’s no Monopoly on the fun to be had with the new promotion from the Maryland Lottery. Our resident Pittsburgh sports fan Seth Elkin joins Nestor in the aftermath of the Ravens’ victory over the Steelers for a little recap and some updates on new games with an old twist, big local winners and tickets-for-life hopes for six lucky purple scratch-off winners.

The last time the Steelers came to Baltimore for an NFL playoff game, it involved Donald Kroner, a plane crash and a bad home loss. That was 1976. As Leonard Raskin and Nestor reminisce about the more recent January battles of the Ravens going to Pittsburgh for this epic rivalry, this one figures to be a much more favorable match up for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to run to the next stop on a Super Bowl run as a 3 seed over the struggling renegades on the run Saturday night.

The Maryland Crab Cake Tour is back on the road for the holidays with friends, food, community conviviality and smiles for the season. We started the December fun at Koco’s Pub where owner Marcella Knight told Ko-Host Mike Ricigliano and legendary WNST caller (and one-time donut provider) Nick “The Greek” Syropoulos welcome the real Santa Claus on Saturday for a family day of Lauraville “Holidays On Harford” seasonal magic.

When the defense is 32nd against the pass, it can’t get any worse. But, as Luke Jones and Nestor Aparicio point out, the Ravens heading to Los Angeles to battle the Chargers comes amidst a strange holiday schedule with lots of time off and short rest weeks en route to January as John Harbaugh tries to beat Jim Harbaugh one more.

It was poolside on a 110-degree day in May 2024 at the Las Vegas Wynn resort and Encore pool as part of the Maryland contingent of business leaders who gather annually in Sin City for networking and discussion. Nestor Aparicio shares deep thoughts on his life and work as examined and questioned on “He’s Holy, I’m Knott” with Reverend Alvin Hathaway and local business leader Martin Knott, Jr. His 40-year media journey highlighting his passion for sports and extensive Baltimore sports media work and leadership bring some revelations here.
Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection joins Nestor to discuss composure and exposure of Ravens weaknesses by Chiefs
Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection joins Nestor to discuss composure and the exposure of Ravens’ mental weaknesses by the mind games of the Kansas City Chiefs.
While there were more than 1,000 applicants over several years of audition tapes, resumes, interns, producers, gophers and wannabes, we knew back in 2008 that Luke Jones was the real deal when he rolled in sporting that Haloti Ngata jersey, a stocked notebook and showed he was far more serious than anyone we’d ever met then – or since!
We’re still in the process of trying to recover the actual two-hour interview from Putty Hill Station in November 2004, but we remember this is the night that “Prime” rolled into Parkville with then-backup quarterback Kordell “Slash” Stewart (one-time star of the Pittsburgh Steelers) to make it a Hall of Fame evening for Ravens fans. We’ll find the tape. Soon. We hope…
Nestor remembers the Pittsburgh hotel manager howling when the Baltimore AM sports radio wackjob guy told her he was gonna bring a thousand people in purple to her fancy corporate wedding ballroom for four hours to drink beer and prepare to eliminate the Steelers from the AFC Championship Game. The game didn’t go well in 2009 or 2011 but we threw a helluva party up there with ‘yins. Our WNST Roadtrips could affect everything but the outcome for #RavensFlock.
