Roku Drops 2025 Streaming Stick to Freebie Territory While Amazon Fire TV Stick Stays Full Price
Do you still have an old TV without any of the smart features, but aren't ready to replace it yet? Maybe you do have a smart TV but you're not a fan of that specific manufacturer's interface. I know I've got a bone to pick with LG and its pseudo-Wiimote motion controls. The good news is you're not locked into what your TV alone has to offer. You can get yourself a Roku streaming stick for hardly any cash at all so you can adopt a super intuitive and reliable way to stream content. It's normally priced at $30, which ain't that bad, but you can get it even cheaper for a limited time. The price has been reduced by 37% which shaved it down by $11. That means you can grab one for a measly $19. I spent more than that at Taco Bell today. See at Amazon This 2025 model Roku streaming stick will grant you access to thousands of apps like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Apple TV. The home screen can be customized to your liking so you can keep your most used services at the ready to easily hop back into as you sit yourself down on the couch. Additionally, you'll gain access to a number of Roku originals with no cost and no subscription. Check out free hits like Dinner Budget Showdown, Celebrity Family Food Battle, Martha Cooks, Emeril Cooks — apparently I can only list cooking shows. I sure they have other stuff too. The Roku streaming stick has a compact form factor so it won't block any neighboring HDMI ports on your TV, It's powered over a USB-A cable which comes included. It can be plugged right back into the TV itself on the other end, powering it off the TV's power. That keep the whole unit fully out of sight, avoiding clutter and freeing up a spot on your nearby outlet or power strip. The Roku remote can be synced with your TV so you can turn it on and off, control volume, and operate your Roku device all with just the one remote. IT also has a voice button so you can search for your favorite TV shows or movies just by saying the title instead of needing to navigate and annoying on-screen keyboard. Right now, Amazon has the 2025 Roku streaming stick down to an all-time low price. Typically going for $30, you can snag one now for $11 off at just $19. See at Amazon

Taylor Swift to join Kelce brothers on 'New Heights' podcast to discuss new album
Taylor Swift will sit down with boyfriend and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, on their "New Heights" podcast Wednesday night to discuss her upcoming album. The Kelces will kick off their show at 7 p.m. ET with special guest Swift, who is expected to divulge more details about her 12th studio album, announced in the early hours of Tuesday. Monday threw the Swiftie fandom into a frenzy, when, minutes apart, both "New Heights" and Taylor Nation, a social media account affiliated with Swift's team, seemed to hint at major pending news. It started with a social media post from "New Heights" on Monday morning, teasing a new episode with a major guest. In the promo image, Jason Kelce wore a shirt with Swift's face on it, and fans insisted a silhouette of said guest resembled Swift. Shortly afterward, Taylor Nation shared a carousel of 12 photos on Instagram, featuring Swift during the Eras Tour performing in orange outfits. The caption read, "Thinking about when she said 'See you next era...'" On Monday night, a countdown to 12:12 a.m. Aug. 12 began on Swift's website, and later, "New Heights" confirmed the guest rumors, posting a video clip of Swift recording the podcast with the Kelces. "We're about to do a f---ing podcast," Swift exclaims in the video. Finally, at 12:12 a.m. Tuesday, when the countdown was up, "New Heights" posted another snippet of Swift showing the brothers her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl." No other details about the album were revealed, but fans were able to place pre-orders on Swift's website. The pre-orders will ship before Oct. 13, but the website said that is "not a release date" and added that the official date will be announced later. Fans are hopeful Wednesday's podcast will bring more details, like the reveal of the album cover, song titles and an official release date. "Life of a Showgirl" will be Swift's first release of 2025 and her first since the Eras tour wrapped at the end of last year. It follows the news in May that she was able to purchase the masters of her first six records from Shamrock Capital, gaining ownership of her entire catalog. Topics of discussion on the podcast will likely not be limited to just her album, however, as "New Heights" posted another teaser on Wednesday morning where Swift trolled " male sports fans" in the audience. 'And we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens, it's more of me,' Swift said on the podcast, tongue firmly in cheek.
