      okay if you have an iPhone, Apple doesn’t want people to download so here is the workaround

      Turn on computer/download the podcast into your iTunes music library/sync your iPhone like you do when you plug it in with a USB cable/that updates the iTunes to the iPhone/podcast will be in music app.

      For most instances just hitting the play button with your wifi connection will be what people do and some others won’t care that they use some data. But if you’re data plan is limiting this is your work around.

      And if you’re on an Android… I got no idea …. I’m an apple guy. I heard someone say it’s even easier.

          We are going to have post game reports pending accreditation but not post game shows per se. We won’t be operating as a radio station. More like a TV station with post game sound and post game on camera stand ups and post game segments with guests.

    Lots of food for thought. Well done. Do I agree with everything No but that’s exactly what this fan base needs, healthy discussion where you walk away with something to think about. Not throwing a tantrum because you don’t agree. I look forward to the next podcast. Thank you Brian and Craig

      Agreeing with everything and not having food for thought would be extremely dull. Thanks for listening and subscribing.

    Good podcast! I wish the sound quality was better for the “solo” segments, though.
    Thanks!

    • Brian Wilde says

      Patrick, it will be better. We promise. I had some difficulties with the microphone I was using and we are going to purchase a better microphone and a better audio program. We will keep working on it until we get it right. Cheers for listening.

    Great first episode! Stop making me think rationally though..
    My thought train listening along: “The Habs rejected Markov!!! Pitchforks for Bergevin!!!” Two minutes later “No! Markov got too greedy and abandoned the Habs!!!” Two minutes later… “Thanks Brian… Now I have to use my brain and for my own opinion.”

    Loved every second of it! Keep it up!

      Thanks Kurtus. It’s one of those things where we can not ever know. Trust me, I would love to know what the two offers were. They always came to an agreement. One of the two parties had to move of their usual 5.75 million. Nothing else makes sense. Thanks for listening and thanks for subscribing.

    I agree with the assessment that the Habs are probably worse on paper than they were last year. Still, there are so many questions, not just about the centres and the defensemen, but about the wingers too. What does Charles Hudon look like? Ales Hemsky? Does Lehkonen take a step forward? Does Gallagher rebound? There are going to be some intense battles for roster spots going into training camp, and I’m looking forward to your analysis going forward. Great first podcast, Brian.

    Great first rip at the podcast…not something I normally listen to but I will make a point to listen more often. FWIW – I say the Habs manage 105 points…
