What podcasts do folks listen to?

[CardiacKid]

The 2019 season is fast approaching (or stuck in limbo depending on your viewpoint). And I am starting to think about where to get my Lions and league news.

With LU getting turfed by TSN, I am thinking I will need to start checking in with other sources, including podcasts. I have never bothered with podcasts of any type in the past as I expect the quality will be just totally random and all over the map.

But with the slow demise of print coverage and other sources seemingly going down the same path. high time to incorporate something else. So which variety of podcast to listen to? The official team or league variety or a fan-based one?

Can anybody recommend one? Does anyone listen to the BCLionsDen pawdcast?

My podcast listening is purely guest or topic-driven as I don't tend to have the time to listen to complete ones.

As for news, Twitter is probably my main source of Lions news. I do subscribe to both dailies but as you point out, coverage has been severely cut due to the demise of newspapers.

When it comes to regularly scheduled ones I listen to none whatsoever. Where I have listened to them in the past it would be a repeat of a TSN1040 show at times when corporate firewalls won't allow listening to live streaming. I found while I couldn't live stream those firewalls didn't block the podcasts posted later. Kind of like getting the broadcast on a tape delay basis. I'd only listen while working. I'd never bother listening from home.

I don't listen to podcasts and rarely listen to radio or TV other than live game broadcasts and the weekly Lions radio show during the season. Twitter is my main CFL news source. I follow official league and team sources and many media sources and players. It gives me access to just about everything written about the league. Two excellent sources that are generally only available by subscription are Dan Barnes of Postmedia, whose columns, previews and predictions appear in The Province print edition during the season but not online, and Kirk Penton of The Athletic (formerly of Postmedia), whose insider gossip is always fascinating.

I will check out The Athletic; I still really like the written word.

I assumed that the BC Lions Den podcast would get a mention, still might I guess....

I listen to most of the Lions Den Pawdcasts. They get some players past and present as guests. They also list links to a lot of CFL podcasters and fan forums except they pretend than Lionbackers does not exist.

I also listen to 3Down Nation podcasts.

As for podcasts, 3DownNation during season is excellent. The Waggle has new episodes now.
All podcasts are free, of course.
Sun and Province will have decent coverage soon, while Kirk Penton at The Athletic has good stuff during the season.

I seem to recall reading a post on Lionbackers from before I started to check out the site that hinted at some ill-will or something....?

The Waggle, 3 Down Nation and First and Now (produced by the BC Lions).

I also listen to the podcast version of TSN 1040's 3 Down Radio during the season. Hopefully that will be back despite the on-air changes at TSN.
