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.

He hails from Cumberland but is known as the sage pitching coach and guru for the Hall of Fame arms of the Atlanta Braves.

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.

When you put a world-traveled photojournalist from Dundalk who teaches his art with a world-renowned chef from Highlandtown who teaches everyone she can how to cook, you get an intersection in Canton of an explosion of “you can do it, too!” as well as some great laughs. Nancy Longo and Joe Giordano talk food and lore with a side of scrapple knowledge.
Once again, it’s a training camp and a grueling regular season of “Super Bowl: Or Bust” for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss holding up on those plans for Santa Clara and start preparations for a September 7th kickoff in Buffalo with super expectations meeting the realities of the NFL offseason.
You know it’s a Major when we’re talking golf with Forest Park golf pro R.J. Sheppard, who gets Nestor ready for The Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland this weekend and stokes the excitement of next month’s BMW Championship coming back to Caves Valley.

It’s the All Star break and the Baltimore Orioles are entrenched in the cellar of the American League East.

What’s happening in America every day at the hands, masks and guns of these ICE raids should appall and outrage any citizen in this country who believes in The Constitution and the laws of our land. Former state delegate and current Essex attorney Todd Schuler returns to discuss democracy and some poor government Trumpian trends with Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Timonium.
This Maryland Crab Cake Tour stop was long overdue but sausage led to pasta and that led to the front door of the “new” Di Pasquale’s in Canton with chef Nancy Longo joining Nestor for a full history and origin story of the city’s most famous and beloved Italian eatery. Let Joe and Domenico Di Pasquale tell you about the move from Highlandtown and the expansion of their legendary tradition.
