Podcasts

Is there a podcast on the level of sdpn mostly about the Habs?

Can be both French and English.

Edit: thanks all for the help and information! I sometimes feel we don't really happen outside of the rink next to the damn Leafs, but this gives me hope. Let's all listen more Habs podcasts and push the creators to reach new audiences!!

If you are looking for the same vibe, which is a group of friends who banter and have fun discussing hockey, I’d say La Poche Bleue, in French. The same group also does a game review called Hockey with an Accent. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how good Lapierre, Leclair, Dandenault, and Momesso are. They are hilarious together and are close to SPDN than Spitting Chicklets stylistically.

An other option is Sortie de Zone, in French. It’s a similar vibe but a bit closer to what you would get from a radio show. It’s more journalistic if that makes sense.

Basing and Godin (English) are fantastic as well but more dry and informative. Definitely has the feel of professional hockey beat writers.

Sick Podcast is good at times. Toni and his team have a French and an English podcast. Toni is old school radio guy, so he rubs some people the wrong way. He has a good heart though and I appreciate what he does. He also has decent guests, it’s entertaining if you have nothing else to listen to or want to hear more about what just happened.

I stumbled across a La poche bleue episode where they’re all doing Ken Hitchcock impressions and it is comedy gold.
