John Hoey of The Y returns to give Nestor the receipts and warm trail of holiday fun from the 5K Turkey Trot on a chilly Thanksgiving morning that took place all over the community and wound up being featured on the Ravens’ NBC broadcast for the world to see with their pumpkin pie.
His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude’s for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966.”
It didn’t even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years). who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.
We’re all fed up and should be. Congressman Johnny Olszewski joined Nestor to discuss the lack of focus and progress on Capitol Hill and potential solutions for health care, transparency in government and the use of Trump’s absurd pardons as a grifting tool.
Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with “Seven Seasons” in the Classical Compendium category.
This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you’re an invite and a taste away because he’s en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey’s in Halethorpe invited us over and must’ve known that offering “Crabby Toast” would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
The always fun Ravens scratch-off super prize winners made their way to frosty Cincinnati where even the famous chili was chilly but as Doug Lloyd of The Maryland Lottery tells Nestor, great seats, a big win and a wild adventure with a flat tire made a Cumberland memory. And everyone was a big winner on the flight home with the team from Kentucky.
“It’s the best book ever written about the modern National Football League,” so says Nestor about Big Game. And that’s why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.
Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced on a Wednesday in almost three months. Luke Jones and Nestor continue to spend midweeks discussing the health of the Baltimore Ravens two-time MVP quarterback and how it can’t be helping the offensive operation. But, a win against the New England Patriots at home will keep hope alive in a wild and zany finish to the NFL regular season.

Reaching back to his Italian heritage in East Baltimore, Nestor returns to DiPasquale’s in Canton to learn about the Feast Of The Seven Fishes and some Highlandtown holiday magic with legendary UMBC soccer coach Pete Caringi and friends of the family.
The New England Patriots are back in first place in the AFC North and coming to Baltimore, which always brings venerable Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy back to his onetime workplace to tell old stories of The Evening Sun, Orioles Magic and always brilliant insights on the NFL franchise of Robert Kraft and the 2.0 build out of Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye.
The return of 2nd District Councilman Izzy Patoka to the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Honey’s in Halethorpe provided Nestor a clear view of his key campaign issues and goals in a spring run as a Democratic candidate to be the next Baltimore County Executive.
The Baltimore Ravens have their hands full with the New England Patriots here this week and the Green Bay Packers awaiting on the frozen tundra next Saturday night after Santa arrives. But, will the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Grinch once again? Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all eyes on the NFL holiday slate as the rematch awaits on January 4th at The Confluence.
It was years in the making, finally getting Torbin Green of St. Francis Community Center to visit for a Faidley’s crab cake for the holidays. Turns out it’s a busy job serving 20,000 folks in West Baltimore with youth programs, family love and food distribution in West Baltimore. Let him tell you about the pride in the work they do and its impact in the neighborhood over generations.

As the upstart New England Patriots come to Baltimore, it’s not lost on Luke Jones and Nestor that it’s probably the first of many battles with MVP candidate Drake Maye.

It’s always a treat to welcome Matt Gallagher of The Goldseker Foundation back to Faidley’s Seafood at Lexington Market on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss the progress and challenges of Baltimore City, while shouting out more holiday dining options and civic celebrations than any other podcast or radio show in the market. We love Baltimore – and it shows!

It’s another holiday season but no one in the Baltimore Ravens community is feeling much of the purple Festivus spirit given the suspect play on the field but Leonard Raskin tells Nestor that the team coming back to life in Cincinnati and in time for New England to arrive is its own gift in a season with a 1-5 start and plenty of disappointment for having so much hope. And no one is betting against them hosting a playoff game the weekend of January 10th.

With the Maryland Crab Cake Tour back in Baltimore County, it’s always important to discuss the issues in an election year with prospective candidates who tell Nestor what they like – and don’t like – about the direction of current leadership.

Bringing the Maryland Crab Cake Tour back to DiPasquale’s for an Italian tour of the holidays, we knew Darren The Sausage King would bring us some seasonal favorites.

Yes, Faidley’s is coming to Catonsville very, very soon in the frontage of The Fishmonger’s Daughter on Frederick Road but before then you can still pay a holiday visit to Lexington Market or ship those tasty crab cakes and all of the sides and trimmings anywhere in the country this week. Let Damye Hahn of Faidley’s Seafood update you for Christmas and beyond with the first family of downtown jumbo lump crab cakes.
The newest and shiniest Baltimore Orioles addition arrived for a bizarrely timed Friday afternoon press conference at Camden Yards and won the day.
