Customer Reviews
Voice lessons required
I enjoy the content of all the podcasts and all the hosts have a great knowledge of the game. However, Hailey Salvian desperately needs to take some voice lessons. It’s nothing that can’t be easily fixed but at times it’s nails on a chalkboard. Audio is important for podcast quality and if someone can improve themselves then they should. At times it sound like the words being gargled. I suspect this will fall on deaf ears and but for the sake of mine, please give it some consideration.
Need more diverse opinions
We all know Ontario may have more writers. But too many portray themselves NHL reporters and that is inaccurate. I unsubscribed to the athletic for this reason (my local team is hardly covered and the coverage is a farce) and it’s unfortunate that in the pod format that the leaf bias is also so strong. There are 32 teams and even amongst the Canadian teams Toronto is hardly the strongest team, yet I feel 80% of the talk track is about them.
Great Pod
Been listening for years. I’ve liked it the while time. Can’t believe some of the comments. This is a great hockey show and a go to, I get excited every time an episode drop.
Athletic has built an amazing team here and only problem is so many great hosts, how do they get them all air time. Miss the round table with Russeau & Rob Pezos(sp). Julien MacKenzie everyday took away to many opportunities for others but he is great too and should have a day hosting. Max is great addition too.
Hailey is a star and actually think should be on a athletic pod about the women’s game maybe hosted by Julien?
Awesome work everyone you make my drives much more enjoyable.
