Episodes
Two episodes in under a week?! Okay now we're really back. In Episode 23, we cycle through a few different Top 5 lists including most important team elements (definitely has five elements), most important players (I think only had four) and biggest fears (we have no fears). Oh and another round of "Call 'em Up!" with one of the show's most loyal listeners.

Testing...Testing...Is this thing on? After a brief 17-month hiatus, The SensChirp Podcast is back and weirder than ever. Same annoying intro music, same shoddy editing and same delightfully average content. In this week's episode, Ray Ramano and The Source recap the news of the last 536 days and all in just a shade over 30 minutes. You'll also hear the first edition of Call 'em Up!  where we cold-call unsuspecting Sens fans and ask them three quick questions. You could be next!

My name is SensChirp and it was recently brought to my attention that I have a podcast. I have also been reminded that it has been four months since I recorded an episode of the aforementioned podcast. But with the Trade Deadline days away and green beer at the ready, this felt like the right time to get back to work. As the good ship Senator hits some troubled waters, Bruce Garrioch stops by for a State of the Union discussion and then we tee up Monday's Trade Deadline. It's the best episode...

Back by popular demand (two people asked for it, I think), The SensChirp Podcast! Because what better time for the optimistic blogger to offer up some thoughts than in the middle of a five-game losing streak. Eeep. In this episode, The Source stops by to talk about what's happening with our dear Senators and what we can do to fix it. Then Norah and Emma stop by the studio to talk about women's sports. Not gonna lie- it might be our best segment yet. See ya in a month!

Training Camp is just around the corner and I am showing up in the best shape of my podcasting career. It's a pretty low bar. In this episode, The Source stops by the studio to recap the off-season to date which takes about 30 seconds. From there, we talk about a particular restricted free agent and how things might play out on that front. Make sure you listen now before the whole thing is irrelevant and out of date.

Remember The SensChirp Podcast? It's okay- I don't either. In this episode, Bruce Garrioch makes his record-setting third appearance on the show. That puts him one appearance ahead of my daughter for the all-time lead by the way. Bruce and I talk about the Expansion Draft, the Entry Draft, Twitter scouts and what might be on the horizon for the Ottawa Senators as the off-season rolls along.  Where do things stand with Brady Tkachuk? Could Drake Batherson be in line for a long-term...

It has been brought to my attention that I have a podcast. It has also been brought to my attention that it has been well over a month since the last episode. And because I really, really, really don't want to to discuss last night's game, The SensChirp Podcast is BACK. Again. In this episode, The Source and I catch-up on a few things we've missed over the last couple months. We discuss the recent performance of the team (pre-Sunday night debacle), we talk about the underrated job DJ Smith...
