This week I chat with old friend and colleague Keith Raad, play by play voice of the Brooklyn Cyclones baseball club. Keith and I did several games side by side in the New York Penn League and in this episode we reminisce about our time together, doing games on Coney Island, and the memorable Game 3 of the 2019 New York Penn League Championship between Lowell and Brooklyn in the shadow of the Coney Island amusement park.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of my father who passed away a few days ago from Alzheimer’s Disease.

This episode features an exploration into the career of veteran local sportscaster John Rooke. From being the voice of Gillette Stadium to his work as the play by play voice of Providence College Men’s Basketball for the past 33 years and so much more, John has fascinating stories to tell.

This episode features a chat with 98.5 The Sports Hub broadcaster Ryan Johnston .Some great stuff here!

A short episode which touches on some new features on the podcast and a brief update.

In this episode, I welcome author and Boston University journalism professor Jay Atkinson, as we discuss the release of the new hardcover version of his original 2001 book “Ice Time.” Jay is a wonderful storyteller who recounts his adventures of spending a full season with Methuen’s men’s high school team in the 1999-2000 season, reliving his passion for the game of hockey. It is a compendium of tales culled from his observations. The book spans three generations, from getting his young son involved to recounting how supportive his father was in his life.

I began broadcasting in late 1995 doing high school hockey in Stoughton, MA. That first game featured Stoughton and Bishop Feehan high schools. Stoughton’s head coach was Dan Mark. This game was the beginning of a 10 year working relationship. Dan was there from the very beginning. In this episode, we turn back the clock with some memories of my earliest days in broadcasting.

Joining me this week is author Pat Pickens, as we discuss his new book The Whalers.

Lots of fun today, as I bring in broadcasting colleague Tim Poszgai- we discuss his upcoming position with the Cleveland Guardians, we preview the big WrestleMania event in Texas this weekend, and finally we discuss our mutual love for Jimmy Buffett.

With the NCAA hockey tournament upon us, I had a chance to sit down with veteran hockey writer and broadcaster Jim Connelly to break it all down this week.
