Our Editor's Take

Broad Street Hockey is a podcast that allows Philadelphia Flyers fans to stay current with team news. It is also a celebration of this storied and tough hockey team. The Flyers have a devoted fan base and a famous mascot, Gritty. In the 1970s, the team won two Stanley Cups in consecutive years. They also earned the nickname "The Broad Street Bullies." This was due to their physical and intimidating style of play. Broad Street is Philadelphia's main street, going through the center of the city.

The hosts of Broad Street Hockey are Steve and Quigz. Steve is Steve Jacot, a podcaster and blogger. Much of his published work has appeared on the Broad Street Hockey website. Quigz is a shortened version of the cohost's last name. He chooses not to use his full name on the podcast for privacy reasons. Both are Philly natives and lifelong fans of the Flyers.

One of the best aspects of Broad Street Hockey is how enthusiastic its hosts are. Neither is a professional sports journalist, but both are knowledgeable about the team. They can recite facts and statistics about various players. The hosts have fun making this podcast. It is hard not to share that feeling with them when listening to an episode.

An interesting aspect of this podcast is that it contains two shows. The first is Broad Street Hockey Radio, which reports on team news. The other is Flyperbole, which is a bit more lighthearted, as its name implies. That show has more humor and sees the hosts talking about fake news stories involving the team.

Several prominent people within the Flyers organization have been guests on Broad Street Hockey. Team president and longtime commentator Keith Jones has appeared on the podcast. These interviews are often fun and insightful.

New episodes of Broad Street Hockey premiere on Mondays and Thursdays of each week.
