You're all invited to a sleepover
You know the golden hour at about 2 a.m. when you and your pals have been laughing and shrieking at each other all night, after a day spent being rowdy while window shopping and ordering every appetizer on the menu, and your voice is hoarse and your stomach hurts from how hard you've been laughing (and also possibly how many mozzarella sticks you've eaten), and you are all draped around each other in a blanket pile and you know you should go to sleep but you're filled with a warm glow of love and fellowship and the knowledge that you can Get Weird about the things you love in front of these people and they will still think you're wonderful?

I love that in addition to experiencing the camaraderie, I'm actually learning about sports psychology and sociology and cultural differences within hockey-playing nations and key historical figures in hockey.

This podcast is the antithesis to sports media that takes itself too seriously. These ladies are scholars of the game despite claiming to only know a medium amount, and they bring a lot of joy to hard days in the world and within the sport. While this podcast is Caps-heavy, I can still enjoy it...Read full review »
