Pretty good

I enjoy Chris and Julian’s insights into the NHL and hockey in general, and their chemistry is good, almost bordering on homoerotic at times (Julian to Chris and not the other way around). I also appreciate that this newest season is louder and that Chris (so far) has been using a broadcast quality microphone on each episode.
Rough editing

The content itself in this podcast is great. One complaint is having to skip 2-3 mins in to actually start hearing the podcast. Another gripe is that whoever places the ads into the pod just drops them in the middle of dialogue and it ruins the flow of the podcast.
Bad audio, decent show

Any chance you can boost the audio of the actual podcast? Quietest pod I follow and your ads are super loud, tough listen. In terms of content it’s not bad! Too much personal banter sometimes but good chemistry between the two hosts
Audio is terrible

Fix the audio and it would be 5 stars.
