Hockey Booth

Hockey Booth

Hocky Booth is your all-access pass to the rink, the locker room, and the minds of the people who live and breathe the fastest game on ice. If you’re tired of shallow highlights and box-score chatter, this is the show where hockey actually gets broken down, explained, and argued over by people who care as much as you do.Each episode of Hocky Booth steps inside the game from a fresh angle. One day it’s a deep dive on why a certain team’s power play suddenly looks unstoppable. Another day it’s a brutally honest look at a struggling star, a goalie crisis, or a coach on the hot seat. From early-season overreactions to playoff chess matches, we cut through clichés and dig into the systems, matchups, and storylines that really decide games.You’ll hear breakdowns of the biggest moments from around the hockey world: NHL headliners, playoff races, blockbuster trades, draft drama, international tournaments, and the prospects you’ll be talking about two years from now. Advanced stats and video-style analysis are always on the table, but explained in plain language so you don’t need to be a pro scout to follow along.Hocky Booth isn’t just about numbers, though. It’s about culture, characters, and conversations. We talk rivalries, locker-room narratives, coaching mind games, and the kind of behind-the-scenes dynamics that never show up on a scores app. Expect passionate rants, bold predictions, cold takes that age badly, and the occasional “we were actually right about this” victory lap.This is also a show built for fan voices. Mailbag episodes, hot takes from the community, and reaction shows after chaos-filled nights on the ice turn Hocky Booth into a place where fans feel like they’re part of the broadcast. Whether you’re screaming at your TV during a five-on-three or obsessively refreshing trade rumors, you’ll find your people here.If you’re new to the sport, Hocky Booth gives you the context and vocabulary to actually understand what you’re seeing on the ice: why neutral-zone structure matters, what a good breakout looks like, how forechecking schemes differ, and why some lines click instantly while others never find it. If you’re a lifer, you’ll appreciate the nuance, details, and willingness to challenge lazy narratives.Despite the playful spelling, the hockey is serious. Hocky Booth is for the fans who stay up for West Coast road trips, live and die with every overtime, and have strong opinions about third-pair defensemen.

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
