August 02, 2018 #ObasRants, branding and the music industry
The artists coming up in today's music scene are facing a crunch of competition so great that they're being forced to pay for performances at venues.
Anthony Obas' Voiceless Music bought into this strategy of making $ by giving independent artists consultation, but is it the right way for artists to bet on themselves?
Plus, ObasRants and is marketing or content the more important factor in pushing a brand, product, or even a Bobcast?

How much did Hillary Clinton discourse inspire a firestorm over a city rep using his own email?
Did Gary Sanchez cost the Yankees the division by jogging to first base?

May 25, 2018 Part 1 -- Top 20 Drake songs with Rocco
What are the top 20 Drake songs? We have the answer.
I heard my buddy Rocco, who I agree on little with, say he was ranking every Drake song so we brought our best to face off his Drake apologist view vs. my staunch criticism of his inconsistency.
This is part one of a two part series that will release on Friday and Monday. The first 10 are here, then 10 on Monday.
Also, Lonnie Walker says that Earth is a simulation. We weigh that against Kyrie Irving's claims of flatness.

April 19, 2018 Frats and Race at Syracuse University: gut reaction to Theta Tau
First of many discussions on a story that's now gone national, a video became a point of debate as it exhibited frat members of Theta Tau at Syracuse using the slurs against Black, Hispanic and Jewish people. Immediately statements were made, people separated themselves in many communities from those accused but the video wasn't released. What this says about frats, race on campus and greater exhibition of why continuous lip service means nothing from all of us without actions to back it up.
A sad day, but one that will reveal a lot about all of us. This is the first of many conversations we'll have about the issue on the Bobcast.

April 11, 2018 Boston Globe's Danny McDonald on crime, his worst mistake as a reporter and working in Bermuda
Danny McDonald took a few tries to hit on the biggest mistake of his career, but it was worth the wait.
He worked about 10 years to reach the Boston Globe and got rejected over 10 times before he was hired in 2015 and has worked covering a variety of subjects since. Inside his journey around the world, his fascination for writing about crime and what almost brought him to Cambodia before the Globe called.
Plus, a short talk about music, from writing about it, its attachment to life and more (wish I added a few points).

April 10, 2018 Sinclair broadcasts with Ty Ray, Philly Rolls and Fast Food
Have you ever had a food ruined for you? I can no longer eat Philly Rolls thanks to Vasquez, and I don't think I'm going to take his diet advice.
Also, is Chick-Fil-A "fast-casual?"
Ty Ray joins Bobcast #37 for a heated discussion on the media since he exited several years ago. The Sinclair controversy is a backdrop to a climate that's distrustful and frankly conspiracy-driven when it comes to discussing news today. Why's there a gap between the producers and consumers and is their any hope for it to shift?
Plus, stories from Ty's career in TV, including a Bill Clinton journey.

March 29, 2018 John Karalis on local news, Locked On Celtics, crafting his Eurostep and the old days of media
Praise for the Kings with how they've handled the Sacramento protests over the killing of Stephon Clarke. They haven't handled much correctly in the past decade, they did this well.
John Karalis joins the program with tales from his playing days, his early media career in Boston, how local news networks function around viral videos, the early internet and testing the waters on stories.
We got into LockedOnCeltics too, how it's become a show as much as a podcast, his preperation and the dynamic between the three hosts.
Also, the media's painting Marvin Bagley as a controversial figure with a recent report on his family.

March 28, 2018 SEAN KEELEY on Syracuse University, NunesMagician, How to Grow an Orange and Carmelo Anthony's 2003
Grabbing a slice at Varsity, I realized two things; 1. I underrated their pizza 2. I've got quite a few Bobcasts to release.
Here's the first, with Sean Keeley. He brings us back to his days at Syracuse, stealing a coffee sign off Marshall Street, and the start of NunesMagician.
What's he been up to since leaving? What was it like to follow the 2003 Carmelo Anthony title team? Plus, the weird phenomenon of Cuse football fandom, and the state of the basketball program and the most memorable day running the blog.
Then; Pennsylvania, bathrooms and a Jae Crowder/Gordon Hayward apology.

February 21, 2018 Young politician JALEN NASH -- Parkland Stoneham Douglas High School shooting and Politics in 2018
As the average age of politicians in the United States rises, the door opens once again for young people to enter the fold and create change to what many feel is a broken system. Young Syracuse University politician Jalen Nash joins The Bobcast to discuss the future, today's political climate and the dynamics of what makes gun control the hottest, hardest issue to solve in American society.
What's he hoping to change in politics? Are big $ and political groups the problem? And most importantly, is this time different and what can we do beyond tweet?
