February 02, 2023 TCA Ep1063: Joshua O'Connor Is The Man Behind "Behind The R" With The Ottawa REDBLACKS Of The CFL
TCA is stoked to welcome you inside one of the most enjoyable episodes of the podcast we've ever done as Matt Robinson is joined in studio by Joshua O'Connor of the Ottawa REDBLACKS video team.
Do us a solid and please make sure you leave a rating and a review for the podcast inside your app. It only takes a moment but helps us out so much.
Behind The R is a first-of-it's-kind production in the Canadian football League as you get access to the moments and personalities that make the Ottawa REDBLACKS tick. Joshua O'Connor is the man who had the vision for it all and is now tasked with putting it all together.
We brought him in to the studio to ask what kind of push back he received in trying to make this a reality, how players and staff around the organization handled the idea of being mic'ed up for months at a time, which moments were a little too real to include in the series and whether or not this project has raised the bar for the rest of the CFL in terms of access that fans should expect.
You can check out seasons 1 & 2 of Behind The R here: https://youtube.com/@CFLREDBLACKS

January 29, 2023 TCA Ep1061: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Ottawa Senators fallout, John Tavares Reaches 1,000 Career Games, What’s Next For The Sens, The New York Rangers Botch Their Pride Night & More
Our pal Graeme Nichols makes his long overdue debut in the TCA Studio as he sits in for Rob on your Monday morning show.
We’d love it if you’d take a moment to leave us a rating and a review there inside your podcast app. It helps us out a ton and only takes a second.
We kick things off discussing a special craft beer treat that Graeme has provided before moving on to Friday night’s Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs encounter. Where do the Sens go from here and might they yet be active at the NHL trade deadline? How long should DJ Smith be allowed to continue behind the bench?
Later on talk turns to John Tavares playing his thousandth career game as the Leafs face the Capitals. What kind of legacy has Tavares built for himself and has his time in Toronto been a success? How is his contract tied to people’s opinion of Kyle Dubas?
The New York Rangers had a very strange Pride Night last week. Was it part of a greater fallout from the Provorov/Philadelphia Flyers incident or is there something bigger going on?
All this and tons more with The 6th Sens Graeme Nichols.
