outside the game (E5) - Is Toronto still undoubtedly a hockey town?

outside the game is a five-part podcast series. It's a sports podcast that doesn't care about the score. Before getting into the episode, I take some time to reminisce about going through the process of building a podcast from the ground up. I take you through the process, what I had to do, what I learned, what made me proud and my future in podcasting (spoiler alert: it's TBD). I then get into the episode. The fifth episode seeks to explore whether or not the Toronto Raptors are catching up to the Toronto Maple Leafs in terms of popularity. In other words, which team rules Toronto? It approaches the question from a whole bunch of angles. Team success, ticket prices, attendance, social media presence. To be honest, hockey will likely always have the edge over basketball in Toronto but it might be fair to say that the gap has shrunk over the past decade or so. Artwork by Amanda Szeto.
