Puck Soup Podcast: Kathryn Tappen of NBC and remembering Gordie Howe

(WARNING: STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND HUMOR. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.)

PUCK SOUP is the new hockey podcast on the Nerdist network for Puck Daddy editor Greg Wyshynski and Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Uproxx and The Comeback. This is a hockey podcast, in the sense that the talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.” 

In Episode 10, Greg speaks with NBCSN and NHL Network host Kathryn Tappen about her career, her hockey fandom, how she handles the murky waters of social media as a woman in media, the Kardashians and, of course, her relationship with Mike Milbury and when giving him the gears on national television goes viral. (Interview begins around the 33-minute mark.)

That, plus Greg and Dave on the Stanley Cup Final and the Sharks’ sudden rally; the Conn Smythe Trophy and why Sidney Crosby shouldn’t win it; paying $10K to see a team not win the Cup; Fraggle Rock; American Gladiators; the X-Ambassadors playing the NHL Awards; Dave’s weird dream about Greg, pizza and Alex Ovechkin; who the next “Ray Bourque” should be in the Cup Final; and listener mail.

PLUS, BONUS! Head to the 1-hour, 29-minute mark for Greg and Dave talking about Gordie Howe.
