Our Editor's Take
The Dog Walk podcast is not about anything in particular. It's more about what makes good listening while taking the dog around the block. Episodes air every weekday. Most are around 30 minutes long. Some episodes, however, can last over 90 minutes, which means listeners might have to go on several dog walks to hear the whole thing.
The podcast is a production of Barstool Sports Chicago. The main Dog Walk host is Eddie Farrer. Guest hosts Chief (Ryan Brandell) and Danny Conrad frequently join him. Many other guests come on for an episode or two. This dynamic gives each show the feel of a conversation one might overhear at a neighborhood bar.
The Dog Walk podcast content basis relates to the day of the week rather than seasons. On the first day of the week, the hosts have a draft. The theme of the draft is different every week. Hosts and their guests pick rom-coms, board games, worst smells, and gummy candy. Monday episodes last about an hour and a half. That means plenty of time for hilarious banter.
Tuesday's episode is “Pick Up Six.” Eddie and Chief talk about six news items from that week. In Chief's words, listeners get “more than a headline, less than an article.” In other words, just right for a dog walk. Chief talks about the latest in the conflict with China. He also talks about how Parker Brothers' origin story for the creation of the Monopoly game was a myth.
The podcast has “free swim” on Wednesdays. On that day, Eddie and a few Dog Walk regulars chat about nothing and everything. On Thursdays, Eddie invites guests to talk about their weird professions. The Skunk Master talks about odor removal. The traveling sausage salesman advises on sales techniques. A bathroom attendant discusses his weirdest customers. The fishmonger debates the advantages of frozen-at-sea fish.
Finally, The Dog Walk reserves Fridays for all things Chicago. Historians explain old scandals. The hosts talk with aldermen and a police officer about their work. Regular podcast listeners may appreciate the rhythm this podcast gives to their weeks.
