Fireside Chat Podcast - Season 2

[Iceman90]

The 2013-2014 NHL season is finally underway, and so is a new season of the Fireside Chat podcast.

We want to thank the CP community for your support of the show last year, and we're excited to get going again for a new season. We hope you'll tune in and listen this year.

Aside from the weekly podcast, also check out our website to read great editorial and news content. Also, be sure to follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook, and subscribe to the podcast via the feed on our website, or through iTunes so you don't miss an episode.

We're as excited as you are for the start of the new season. Start your day off right by listening to the season opener edition of our second season, and get pumped for the Flames vs. Capitals tonight.

Episode 22: Season Opener
As the 2013-2104 season kicks off, so does the second season of Fireside Chat. This week we speculate on who will be the final roster cuts, who will be the goalie combo going into the season, what to expect this year…and a healthy dose of Oilers bashing.

Thanks for continuing to make these podcasts!

If I can offer up some constructive criticism, however: I find the differing volume between the voices make this quite hard to listen to, particularly at work. I turn it up a bit to hear the two quiet guys, and then BOOM! Loud guy talks again.

I understand that this isn't something that is studio-produced, nor should it be, but I do wonder if there's something in the software that balances out the levels for you.

Otherwise, keep 'em coming!

Thanks Jimmy. Good feedback. We had some issues with mics this week, as 2 of us got new PCs over the summer. I'm working on getting all out editing/levelling tools setup again.

Episode 23: A Thrilling Start!
The 2013-2014 NHL season is underway, and the Flames are surprising a lot of people with their play thus far. We discuss our thoughts on the Flames start, and if it changes our minds about how this season will go down. Luc wants to debate the merits of fighting in the NHL – is it time to revisit fighting in the league? Does Sean Monahan deserve to stay in the NHL past his 9 game tryout? Are the Flames really lacking in net without Kipper? We also take on the rumoured Flames third jersey, which you can see here.

The night after the Flames big win over the defending Stanley Cup champions, and we saw the spectacular debut of Reto Berra, we discuss how Berra needs to keep on chunking, looking at who’s playing hot and who’s not, and how hard work is really paying off for the Flames this year, Joey McDonald’s future – and of course a healthy serving of Reto Berra discussion.
