Sports Podcasts

[De Selby]

Ok, a thread for non-football, but sports-related podcasts.

What good ones can you lot recommend?

I'll start:

For any New England Patriots fans: http://www.patriots.com/media-center/audio/patriotsdotcom-radio.html
PFW in Progress. Airs 3 times a-week. Can be very funny & the hosts have an excellent dynamic. And, despite being an in-house production, they're not afraid to criticise the team or its management.

Americarnage: http://www.americarnage.co.uk/shows/

This one's a bit more hit-and-miss (for me, mostly hit). It's a British-based podcast that focuses on American sports. Airs once a-week. Mike Carlson, whom I've always found very watchable and listenable, is on there.

I listen to Marek vs. Wyshynski, an NHL podcast. It's Mon-Fri; less a daily round-up than two experts/friends bullshitting for an hour. It's great for covering a select few talking points in an interesting way, they get some decent interviews with General Managers & beat writers & there's some great hockey history chats. As it's entertainment driven with a lot of detours (today's 10 minute opening was on Canadian & British TV), it largely depends on how much you like / can bear their personalities.

It's great as a supplement if you have time to keep up with the day to day goings on in the league, or if, conversely, you just don't care about anything but the main headlines (I think the show works as well if you're listening a week or two after it's aired). Otherwise the Puck Podcast is probably a much better option as a slightly drier but incredibly detailed weekly roundup show.
