    It’s a ok pod. He doesn’t really say anything that everyone else has already said. No real “takes” but I will say he is at least usually always putting a positive spin on it. That’s rare with pods nowadays. The biggest downside is listening to him speak. I’m not sure if he’s just reading off a paper or something but he’s very monotone and will forget what he’s saying halfway through his sentence. I give 3 stars simply for his positivity

  • Good but needs more

    A decent enough podcast. Thorough, well paced and informative but needs another voice or two to fill it out. You can see Ian puts a lot of work into it, but having another voice to counter him or for more debate is badly needed. Should be more thought provoking than it is so there’s definitely scope to do that.

P-Bruins Chat with Play by Play Voice Brett Chaves
Q: Why did Fabian Lysell not translate as hoped to the NHL, and what does the Colorado trade to bring Ivan Ivan mean for Providence?
