Teal Town USA

Great shows great host keeping it true and real .

Good recaps on all Sharks games and the Pucknogoists on Sundays is my favorite way to end the weekend!

When The Athletic dropped their sharks coverage I went looking for an alternate regular source and this is it! The perfect mix of knowledge, fandom, and accessibility.

Never was a podcast guy until last season, and this changed that for me. Let me start off by saying the people at TealTownUSA should be lauded for not selling their souls to force ads of pubic hair trimmers, and crap protein bars down our ear canals. I have come to love the colorful cast of men and women who share the same joy, passion, anger, and frustration for our beloved Los tiburones. Being a Hockey fan in San Jose where I was born, raised, and reside has always been the most isolating fandom at times with friends, coworkers, and neighbors always talking 49ers, Giants, Warriors. I don’t care for any sport other than Hockey. Bunch of bandwagon fans around here with surface level knowledge of my Sharks - so discovering this podcast even during this rough time to be a fan has been therapeutic. AJ, Puck Guy, Hockey Jerk, Ian Reid, Erik Landi, Dana, Kevin Lacey, and newly added Jules (JUELLE) all bring in their own unique perspectives, takes, and knowledge as these are equally passionate, and educated fans of The Sharks, Barracuda, and Hockey in general. Something that’s always lacked in my life compared to “Hey is Thornton and Burns still on the team” from the casual fans I’m surrounded by lol The depth of knowledge presented, each persons perspective, and their interactions with the Youtube comments within the community are always a treat. The format is organized with room to rant, and have it flow naturally which I love. Different personalities, and perspectives keep things fresh, and everyone brings a different depth of knowledge. I’ve loved that the Barracuda are always touched on, and that any big hockey related news is immediately touched on. To put it simply, I’ve loved feeling welcomed, and part of this community. These guys put in more work than a lot of other comparable podcasts. This podcast make me feel like I’m having a beer (or Diet Pepsi) with friends as we discuss all things Sharks, Cuda, and Hockey. That’s what makes it special. When TealTownUSA does good, it’s good! Love, Uncle Damfee
