The Media Side of Things

Alex Furolo
The way we ingest our hockey content has never been more interesting. Countless online channels direct to your eye holes and countless rambling podcasts for those ever important ear holes. Funnily enough, there's a few steps, usually, between product and presentation. The Media Side Podcast explores the "Media Side" of the game, interviewing guests from all sectors of the hockey world, to bring you a peek behind the digital curtain that is the world of Hockey Media.
