LAFAYETTE, La. -- The dog days of summer are now in full swing, but the blazing southern heat doesn't slow down the Inside the SPHL Podcast! Mike Campos and Matthew Harding welcome one of our newest additions to our SPHL team, Dana Barker, for his first appearance on the show.

On our 54th episode, recorded on July 24th, 2018, the boys get together to talk a little hockey, shoot the breeze about the weather, and anything else which comes to mind.

* We open up The Sin Bin Mailbag and take your listener questions. We told y'all to ask us anything and we were not disappointed.

* The summer signing season is now in full swing, Campos, Harding, and Barker give their most intriguing picks so far.

* Barker, a long-time SPHL follower and reporter, gives his perspective on how the league has evolved over time while keeping its fan-friendly touch.

* Our logo tournament is now in its second round. We keep you updated on the progress.

* We go into a deep discussion on Barker's brand-new piece on why hockey franchises fail, and touch on the common myths and realities.

* Finally, we all give our Walmart/Amazon products of the month!

* Campos - Because you can never plan early enough for Valentine's Day.

* Harding - Add a rustic touch to your throne room, just watch out for splinters!

* Barker - Addicted to gummy bears? We got you covered and so do Amazon's legendary commenters.
