    EPISODE 100: Kash Ruins Everything Around Me

    For the monumental 100th episode of Through The Island, the original co-host Corporate Mike Monaco has returned to the pod. We talk about how the team has changed from when we started the pod in the 2020-21 season, unpack the US Olympic Mens gold medal and consequential cultural ineptitude, Isles trade rumors around Kyrou and Bunting, and try to determine what we feel a successful outcome to this Isles season would be as they are ready to enter the post-Olympic stretch run.

    EPISODE 99: The Darche of the Universe is Long

    Well, we recorded an episode and then Mathieu Darche made the Ondrej Palat/Maxim Tsplakov trade within an hour. So up top, you get quick snapshot perspective from Desmond on the Palat trade and what it may mean for the team this season and next. After that, stick around as Beale joins as we look at the Isles vibes and plays have come under a bit of shaky ground following a mediocre road trip that stabilized with a win against the Flyers. We attempt to unpack the way that Roy and Darche are navigating handling personnel decisions and winning culture standards, while attempting to define what defines this team's window and who the fixtures are.

    EPISODE 98: Sorokenaissance Now

    Ryan Doyle from Filthy F'n Casuals hops on as we attempt to come down from back to back UBS Arena bangers that saw Matthew Schaefer stunting on the Leafs for Hockey Night In Canada followed up by a 9-0 demolition of the Devils. Listen as we talk about UBS Arena beginning to look, feel, and sound like home, look at Anthony Duclair's hat trick as a turn around for the Isles depth scoring, and who are our picks for Isle Rumble dark horses for making a deep run this season.

    EPISODE 97: I Wanna Be Emilionaire

    The pod is back after a month to unpack an Isles team that finds itself 3rd in the Metropolitan division and very much looking like a playoff team near the Christmas break. Friend of the pod, music journalist, and Skatesafe legend Ed Hackimer joins the pod as we attempt to interpret who the team's core now is, what are the flawed pieces they'll have to live with until the offseason, and what considerations have to be made when navigating bounce-back performances from Lee and Pageau on their expiring deals. Be sure to read Hack's music blog Where Did Mary Go? to read his interviews, reviews, and essays on the metal and alternative scenes.

    EPISODE 96: Real Themes For Real Teams

    We've got a theme song now. Stick around after it as Christian Beale, many time guest co-host of the pod and the composer of this Iron Chic-esque banger, hops on as we talk the latest in Isles World, such as the continued Schaefer-led rejuvenation of joy and confidence team-wide, the Bo Horvat Revival Tour, and our hope that the election of Zohran Mamdani leads to Tony DeAngelo fleeing New York causing the team defense to get a full letter grade better instantly.

    300 IQ Thoughts: The Heineken Terrace of America

    Our first installment of the most intellectual Q&A series in the entire Islander podcast universe. Hear some takeaways about the Isles tumultuous 1-3 start to the season that has begun to turn around thanks to Matthew Schaefer and Big Savior Dave Rittich. Hear my answers on questions about whether we as a fanbase undervalued Dobson, what type of back-up would be ideal for Sorokin, and which recently and perennially embarrassing public figure I most want to see come through to UBS Arena.
