Seth Elkin and Nestor discuss the rash of Orioles homers benefiting Home Run Riches winners and waiting on every grand slam when the bases are loaded. Big money. Big fun. Every night the Birds play!

Reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson was present for the start of voluntary workouts earlier this week.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the incredible spot start of veteran Albert Suarez start, another walkoff home run by Cedric Mullins and the re-emergence of Cal Ripken to Orioles baseball this month as the team heads to Kansas City and Los Angeles before returning home on Friday, April 26th against the Oakland Athletics.

Cedric Mullins began the series with a phenomenal diving catch and finished it with the first career walk-off homer.

Albert Suarez pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings in his club debut before Cedric Mullins won the game on Wednesday.

Kyle Bradish tossed three scoreless innings and struck out four in Tuesday's start.

With John Means and Kyle Bradish throwing and potentially coming back to the Orioles starting rotation soon, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what the latest setback for Tyler Wells means as the Birds' bats take center stage in battering Twins pitching at Camden Yards.

It's not often that Luke Jones and Nestor Aparicio wind up in the same room together doing live radio. Every Friday when the Orioles are home, come say hello at Faidley's Seafood in Lexington Market before the game. This time, it was football on the brain with Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens holding the 30th pick in the first round of next Thursday's NFL Draft in Detroit.

Gunnar Henderson, Jordan Westburg, and Ryan O’Hearn homered while Grayson Rodriguez pitched six solid innings for the victory on Tuesday.

Tyler Wells allowed four runs and lasted only four innings in his last start against Milwaukee.

With the promotion of Jackson Holliday and the emergence of Colton Cowser and Jordan Westburg to go with the already-arrived Adley Rutschman and Gunnar Henderson, the Baltimore Orioles are loaded. It's the dawn of a new day of Orioles baseball. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the maturation of Orioles system and the solid start to season despite some obvious pitching deficiencies.

Cedric Mullins was the standout performer on Jackie Robinson Day.

With Colton Cowser being named AL Player of the Week, Austin Hays is finding fewer chances to shake off a slow start.

Outfielder Colton Cowser struggled in his first MLB assignment last year but has begun the 2024 with a torrid pace leaving manager Brandon Hyde with some tough decisions on playing time for Austin Hays. Our Luke Jones joins Nestor to evaluate this young roster and ways to continue to utilize the bench and the potential of big bats from blue chip prospects.

Despite a rough weekend, Baltimore could exhale upon avoiding the sweep on Sunday afternoon.

Bill Cole and Nestor discuss the reemergence of Orioles baseball in lives of many Baltimore folks and how going to Camden Yards has suddenly become cool again with new ownership and a great, young team on the field.

Back when Nestor Aparicio was nationally syndicated on Sporting News Radio a the turn of the century, he had a chance to talk pitching and catching with the late Hall of Famer.

Randy Moss joins Nestor for their annual Preakness chat but this time the stigma around Baffert and cheating in horse racing is the only story at the barns of Pimlico.

Hall of Famer Marcus Allen chats with Nestor and Luke on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LI in Houston.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer chatted with Nestor on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston.

If you loved "Bullies of Baltimore," you'll love this one. He led with his heart and his brain and it led to Trent Dilfer winning a ring with the Baltimore Ravens in a very short time here. On the day after Christmas in a short playoff week back in 2000, he told us what winning would mean to him with the emotion we expect...

Former Terp Shawne Merriman comes home to discuss his Lights Out MMA promotion on FUBO Sports.

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.

Always great to reconnect the with Silver Spring native whose work with Hootie and The Blowfish is weaved into his side gig with The Screaming Trojans, who will be coming home to Frederick for a show at Weinberg Center on Saturday, October 22.

The picture is from October 1996 at the Indianapolis airport when Nestor ran into the Governor with Ricig's Bob Irsay dummy on a stick. The conversation is Part Two of a spicy chat with John Moag and Schaefer at The Barn to kickoff the Ravens' second season on 33rd Street at Memorial Stadium.

Watching Cal Ripken go back to Seattle and pining away for another All Star Game in Baltimore again, Bill Cole and Nestor wist hopeful and realistically in discussing the 30th Anniversary of the Camden Yards classic and the future of our downtown and the next time the Midsummer Classic comes to Charm City.

Over 25 years of serving the Towson and Baltimore community as an FCC licensee with nothing but local ownership of WNST-AM 1570 and operating WNST.net and now Baltimore Positive, we stand very proud of our charity and service. All of it has been powered by people like you – citizens, sports fans, great local humans who live here, work here, are from here and want to help here. We have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in time, money, resources, goods, gifts and contributions. We asked for your help and time and love – and you always gave. Here's the proof...

The onetime Ravens assistant talked with Nestor and Brian Billick on Radio Row ahead of 2003 Super Bowl in San Diego.

This picture was taken in 1989 backstage at Hammerjacks. Locally born and bred drummer Steve Gorman (on right in Orioles orinthologically correct hat) will take over the story from there in the aftermath of his best-selling book on the history of the notoriously infamous Black Crowes and life with The Brothers Robinson.

With M3 looming and the return of live music to the Symphony Woods of Merriweather Post Pavilion, Nestor welcomed his personal vocal coach and the greatest frontman in local music history from Hagerstown to discuss "You're Welcome" and his new music.

If you are familiar with the beginnings of WNST, it probably came back on that first kickoff at Memorial Stadium on September 1, 1996 when the Baltimore Ravens were born and our DUMP TRUMPY placards made national news after NBC broadcaster Bob Trumpy wished the Charm City empty roads, warm beer and cold hot dogs. And of course, the GET NASTY flip sides took off and launched what would become WNST-AM 1570 on August 3, 1998. We will countdown our WNST Top 25 "Stories of Glory" every week through the football season. If you have pictures from this era, please email: nes@baltimorepositive.com and share and tag us on social media. We'd love to see your side of our 25 WNST Stories of Glory. And if you have a story to tell, let's tell it. Gratitude for all of the years of your support keeping us strong and alive and thriving into our 26th year of doing it better than anyone's ever done it!

Bill Cole and Nestor discuss the wonders of Lamar Jackson and the death of independent media voices covering Baltimore Ravens. Might be time for a #ColumnNes

Ever since he saw them at the Baltimore Civic Center in February 1980, former music critic Nestor Aparicio has been chasing Styx around the country. JY has been a recurring character on his radio show for three decades. This one was a "mirror, mirror on the wall" segment...

The legendary sports columnist at The News American checked in with his star pupil Nestor the day after the death of Robert Irsay. This one was spicy...

Purple Reign, Chapter 3: "The Original Birds and the Mean Machine" Nestor chronicles the very beginning and April 1996 draft with a new name, no colors and no logo – but two future Hall of Famers coming to Baltimore.

The sports media world lost a giant with the passing of longtime CNN anchor Fred Hickman, who did our show back in 2018 when the New Orleans Saints and the Ravens clashed in Baltimore. Lots of history and the real world covered in this one.

This is Chapter 6 of "Purple Reign 2: Faith, Family & Football – A Baltimore Love Story." Author and radio host and entrepreneur Nestor Aparicio is releasing the 2013 book chapter by chapter daily to get #RavensFlock ready for NFL season.

Our lifelong pal and mentor Dan Rodricks of The Baltimore Sun tells Nestor about his second run of the locally sourced "Baltimore, You Have No Idea" and his next courtroom concept coming in February at the Baltimore Museum of Art on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

This is Chapter 1 of "Purple Reign 2: Faith, Family & Football – A Baltimore Love Story" written in Spring 2013 after the Ravens Super Bowl championship in New Orleans.

Did you know that 80s pop star Thomas Dolby has been a professor at Johns Hopkins teaching music for several years? It was poetry in motion when he was an ambassador and performer at the inaugural Light City when Nestor first got to say hello in 2016.

The first time Captain Comeback came to The Barn for a spring welcome to the Charm City in June 1998. Who knew he'd become the King of Michigan and his brother would beat him in Super Bowl XLVII? And then he'd cheat and win a National Championship in 2024?

Buffalo sports historian Mike Billoni is joined by legendary local sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano to discuss the not-for-long Blue Jays miracle in Western New York. And the forty years and a century that came before that...

With the Baltimore Orioles under new ownership and the abrupt end of the Angelos era and the Birds on the field flying high, Thom Loverro of The Washington Times tells true stories of his journalistic encounters with the former owner and discusses the future of Camden Yards and a new day with David Rubenstein.

Peter Angelos never cared for Hall of Fame broadcaster Jon Miller. Angelos thought Miller was too critical of the Orioles. But mostly, his old world sensibilities didn’t like the style of Jon Miller as the voice of his baseball franchise.

As the swashbuckling quarterback of the Bum Phillips-era Houston Oilers, Dan Pastorini was Nestor's favorite football player in his late 1970s childhood. Now, like many former Baltimore Colts here and abandoned by his franchise in Texas, Pastorini catches up on the Oilers uniform revival in Nashville, the pain of the Texans in Houston and how to Be An Angel.

We've done a quarter century of Super Bowl weeks and you never know who will drop by the set. Anything Nestor can do to get Gloria Estefan and K.C. and the Sunshine Band into a conversation makes him happy from Miami Beach.

Legendary guitarist Nils Lofgren of the E Street Band joins Nestor for the first of a long series of questions and conversations about the history of Bruce Springsteen and the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay from Radio Row on the eve of their performance at Raymond James Stadium.
