The Broadscast

Tis the season to wrap up Ask the Broads for 2020! We're tackling all your holiday questions and then some from the best gifts we've received to favourite breakfast foods. See you all next year!

In the second of back-to-back episodes this weekend, we are joined by Marisa Ingemi to talk NWHL Bubble, women's hockey, lacrosse, and astrology.  Marisa tells us what she's writing about lately, what shows we've been watching, and we talk about why Rory Gilmore is a terrible journalist. 

In the first of back-to-back episodes this week, Coast Salish artist Eliot White-Hill joins us to have a conversation about indigenous art and its presence in sport. We discuss the recent headlines involving Braden Holtby's new mask and the Canucks' long-standing orca logo, and Eliot also shares his journey to becoming an artist and exciting projects he's working on. It wouldn't be a proper Canuck...

In our most fun episode ever, we have drinks with our new bestie and honorary broad Micaela Gaudette.  We talk about how long it took her to meet Adam's mom, her engineering degree, pandemic wedding planning, the real story of The Kick, and Stella and Zeus.  Micaela also graciously shares her mental health story with us, and gives us the scoop on the NHL bubble.  Hockey Gaud tries t...

It's a week of chaos as we discuss everything from Sarah Fuller's historic kickoff in a Power 5 game, Romain Grosjean's insanely scary near-death experience, and thoughts on Evander Kane vs Jake Paul. We're also talking madness in pro soccer and give an update on Gunnersaurus, and celebrate Mina Kimes' part in securing a $1 million donation on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire!

This week, we're diving deep into the history and rise of WAGs (wives and girlfriends) in sports. We're also discussing the highly-publicized WAG feud involving Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, which British media have dubbed "Wagatha Christie."

David Quadrelli of Canucks Army and Canucks Conversation joins us this week for an epic 90s trivia showdown against our own Vanessa Jang. We give a special shout out to friend of the pod, Dave Noordam, combine our limited knowledge of the NBA for a very reputable assessment of this week's draft, discuss the monumental hiring of Kim Ng as GM of the Miami Marlins, and David talks about his experienc...

We're back!!!  We revisit the firing of Don Cherry one year later, reflect on his role in the way hockey has been marketed and the significance of his firing, and talk about how he might have handled the many social issues that have impacted hockey in the past year.  Also: find out which former NHL player has Vanessa (!!!) blocked on Twitter, and relive the joys of current and former NHL...

In yet another banner week for hockey, we are joined by special guest, Hannah Sullivan Facknitz, to discuss the intersections of disability and sports and the absolute tire fire known as the Arizona Coyotes. We also recap the World Series, Jamie vs Katie round 374832 as told by @airsignmenace (the funniest account on twitter), and have choice words for fans of a dude who got cucked by a soulcycle...

We were honoured to have the namesake and star of our Motte Girl Summer campaign, Tyler Motte, on the podcast this week. We touched on everything from his mental health advocacy, his favourite Michigan Wolverines hockey jerseys, the Canucks group chats and his experience in the NHL's playoff bubble. You can get your own Motte Girl Summer merch on our Teespring store, and ALL proceeds are donated t...

No plan, no problem... apparently. We're talking all about the Canucks' mess of a week during the NHL's free agent frenzy.

We're still recovering from the slumber the NHL Draft put us in. This week, we're giving our very professional, analytical opinions on the Canucks' draft picks. Oh, we're talking Gunnersaurus as well.

We asked some of our hockey scouting friends to come on the pod to help preview the 2020 NHL Draft, but we gave them one very specific request: no stats, just vibes.

Hockey may be over but the content doesn't stop! We put on our investigative hats this week to uncover details of a story that wasn't addressed in mainstream sports media. Only on The Broadscast will you get this deep-dive journalistic reporting. Enjoy!

It’s a massive soap operas week as we discuss ESPN’s article revealing just how bad the NHL bubble was, how Sidney Crosby is now an Emmy award-winning producer and the San Jose Sharks’ political bribery scandal. We also talk about TSN’s documentary on painkillers in hockey and the NHL’s “Price to Pay” ad.

Did you know we like sports other than hockey? This week, we're talking everything from tennis to F1 and Georgia's love for Joe Burrow. Our soap opera discuss hockey and sports culture at its finest (this is a joke) and, inspired by Dak Prescott, we share personal stories about our own battles with mental health (23:17-39:15).

This week, Ramina Shlah (@RaminaShlah) from The ScorchStack hops on the pod to dissect Trevor Gretzky's hit romcom with Mallory, inspiring the theme for this episode's Name 5 Players prompt. We're also talking NHL dog reunions, Odell Beckham Jr. and the Canucks' year-end media availability. 

This week, we eulogize the Canucks and their Game 7 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. We talk about their pending free agents and whether they should be back next season, and we also go off on the men in traditional sports media. There's also a special announcement at the end of the episode that you definitely won't want to miss...

Avry Lewis-McDougall is a prominent sports media podcaster and member of the BIPOC community. He joined us to discuss the Black Lives Matter movement throughout various sports leagues, NHL players' decision to strike in solidarity, and the next steps that should be taken. You can follow Avry on Twitter @Avry.

So we have been informed that the Prince of Egypt is not, in fact, a Disney movie, but it's still home to a legendary song. This week's mailbag contains questions about our favourite sports, jerseys, and the important question of how women's hockey can get the respect it deserves.

It's as if Tyler Motte intentionally scored while we were recording to get our live reactions. On this episode, we discuss Jordan Binnington losing his starting goalie job, Tuukka Rask leaving the bubble and why we hate Boston sports. Vanessa has a bone to pick about sports teams on social media, and we dive into whether Canucks fans owing Jim Benning an apology is a good take.

With Vanessa away this week, we dig into the Twitter archives of NHL players and discuss how the WAGs replaced hockey insiders. We rant on the NHL's controversial marketing strategies and also explain why Jordan Binnington is a terrible human being.

Our first episode of Ask the Broads answers questions about how we met and came up with "The Broadscast" name. We also dig into The Bachelorette to discuss Clare's (or Tayshia's?) upcoming season and what our obscure job title would be on the show.

We dive into the latest on some of the NHL's play-in series and the Hurricanes sweeping Tony Deangelo and Brendan Lemieux. We also discuss the Canucks' rough week on social media and have an important conversation on supporting Matt Dumba. It's only week two but Dani may have the best Name 5 Players submission we'll ever get...

Also debut szn! With the NHL Return-to-Play about to start, we discuss the player dress codes, give our play-in predictions and explain why Toronto's Hotel X is doomed. We also introduce "Name 5 Players" where we give hypothetical reasons why Player X will leave the bubble.
