  • Listen Only if You Have To

    In a market starved for decent Predators coverage, this podcast is a huge disappointment. Putting Adam behind the paywall leaves fans nothing. Listen if you want to hear the moderator praise blue sky & cry about how mean X is. The guy is the epitome of woke 40-something media.

  • Love the show, but

    For the love of god enough with the blue sky talk. It’s a dead website that’s staying dead. Know your audience, Twitter is king.

  • Fantastic

    Thanks so much to Braden and Adam for giving us such honest and objective coverage of Nashville’s Hockey team. This podcast is my guilty pleasure and while I’m (very) sorry to see Adam go I’m looking forward to seeing what this podcast looks like next year. (Govertime??).

    Best of Luck Adam! I cancelled my Athletic subscription in solidarity!

  • No homer takes

    It’s nice to have something to listen to regarding the Preds without the insane homer takes we get from local radio who also broadcast the games. They fail to be critical because of the business relationship between the two. Vingan used to annoy me but he has really matured in his coverage over the last few years and I miss Braden Gall on the radio in the mornings. Nice work guys.
