As someone who love the coyotes but doesn’t live in Arizona it’s so nice to have Craig, Leah, and Petey to provide insight about the Valley. I love all their post game and audio only shows and try to listen live whenever I can!

Nothing beats Craig’s reporting, Leah’s hosting and Banter, Petey’s sighs and coaching breakdowns. Post game shows for every game, around the NHL analysis, interviews with former Coyotes, people related to the Yotes, up to date Mullett Arena and Tempe development, etc. The best podcast around for a Yotes fan!
Love the content from Canada.
