Tall Can Audio - A Pint Of Canadian Sports Talk

Today we're joined by Sean Fitz-Gerald of The Athletic to discuss another difficult week in the Canadian Sports Media Business.

We'd love it if you'd take a moment to support the show by leaving a rating and a review there inside your podcast app.

Sean Fitz-Gerald covers the media side of the sports business for The Athletic so there was nowhere better to turn to discuss where things stand at the end of a tumultuous week. We ask him about Chris Johnston joining TSN and whether he's setting the model for other big name media types, the slashes made this week across the Sportsnet Radio Network by Rogers, an entirely new model for the FAN 590 in Toronto, why sports radio is such a tough road to travel in this country and lots more.

You can follow all of Sean's work at TheAthletic.com and on Twitter @SeanFitz_Gerald.

Guys let's be real as another hockey season starts. There's only one show in this country giving equal time to the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators and it's Tall Can Audio. Rob and Matt are back for another week of keeping you up to date on what's real and what's not.

Please take a second to leave a rating and a review inside your podcast app to help support the show.

On the agenda as we kick off another week - have we reached a reasonable time for Senators fans to be concerned about the Brady Tkachuk situation? Did Ottawa get enough in the Logan Brown trade? Have we really moved one step closer to seeing the return of the Montreal Expos? Are the playoffs still a reachable goal for the Toronto Blue Jays? How can the NBA get their season up and running with a number of big names still refusing to get vaccinated?

answers to these and tons of other questions on an all new TCA.

Long time friend of TCA - Mike Commito - returns to the show today to discuss his latest book "Hockey 365: The Second Period - More Daily Stories From The Ice."

We'd love it if you'd take a moment to help out the podcast by leaving a rating and a review for Tall Can Audio there inside your app. It helps us a ton and only takes a second.

We're thrilled to have Mike Commito return to the show to have a pint and fill us in on what he's been up to. We ask Mike about the Sudbury craft beer scene as he happily offers up a recommendation or two. And of course we discuss the new book and how the idea of a sequel to the original Hockey 365 came to become reality. Mike takes us inside the writing process, the idea of holding something physical in your hands that once was just an idea in your mind, any trepidation that goes in to releasing something like this ou tin the world after you have put so much effort in to it and what types of hockey notes we can look forward to learning about when we pick this one up.

Mike's a tremendous writer and a better guy and we wish him all the best with the new book.

Hockey 365: The Second Period - More Daily Stories From The Ice will be on book store shelves on September 28th. And you can preorder it online now!
