The best source for CBJ content from one of the best in the business. Aaron continues to provide great insight on Columbus Blue Jackets hockey.

This is a good podcast if you like the Blue Jackets. Honestly though, no post-draft analysis? No analysis re: Babs/Vincent?

Love the podcast but you have to cut down the live shows. Audio quality is terrible but the questions are just becoming ridiculously repetitive about tanking and should or shouldn’t the Jackets send guys to Cleveland. Have some guests on who can provide some different insight into the CBJ or other issues in the league.

Porty I dig your insight and the content but oh my goodness please seek out an audio professional/producer to master your stuff. Ez tip: mute the guest during your answer. Hearing your echo at 100% volume from some Twitter live guest is insufferable.

Aaron I have always felt you have done an excellent job. Been listening since the days of the Dispatch. I appreciate the work that you have done. My only issue is that I wish you were more upfront. The Jeff Rimer episode was great because I finally heard from you your insight as to why things went the way they did with each guy. I listen and read because I respect your opinion and would like to hear more of it. I still have little to no reason to understand the disconnect with the players the last couple of years. Jarmo or Torts or a little bit of both? Why in your opinion do we have so much difficulty when it comes to negotiations with the players? I know Jarmo has the hammer, but what do the players say? What is your opinions on these matters. You are as well connected as they come and I know you hear from the guys in the locker room. Sorry this is in a public forum as I would have much rather sent this directly. As I said before I love the podcast. You are tremendous in your position and I appreciate all you do for the reader/listener. Thanks for everything. Keep up the amazing work.

This podcast is about as interesting as the team. Portzline has a great voice for newspaper. Hopeless homers who seem to think a 9th place team is acceptable.

New to the podcast scene, looking for CBJ podcasts. Found this one and could only listen to less than half the show. It’s sad when the phone in guest has a better audio/microphone than the host. Unsubscribed, it’s unlistenable. Alison, you should be the only host.

Great podcast!!! Always enjoy listening to you guys! Ep67 thanks for the Youngstown shoutout its great to have access to the blue jackets in an area smothered by Pittsburgh fans

Highly Recommend if you’re a Blue Jackets fan. Can’t say enough good things about this one, and it’s a great NHL podcast in general too — especially if your team is about to play CBJ or recently did. It’s well rounded and usually there’s multiple takes, which creates a “dueling insiders” format that I enjoy. They’re all equally as knowledgeable on CBJ & hockey, so it gives the listener a number of ways to look at each situation.

Aaron, Alison and Tom always deliver great content.

We need more Blue Jackets coverage but the audio quality is very poor with lots of pops and static. Sometimes unlistenable.

I love all of the contributors and their relaxed and knowledgeable round table approach to discussions. I don’t love the often poor audio quality that sounds like one of them is calling in from a flip-phone inside their car on the road somewhere near the North Pole (mostly AP and especially Tom). Dedicate some time and resources to clean up the audio please. This is easily the best CBJ podcast out there. Thanks!

I’ve always kind of rooted for the Blue Jackets for reasons I can’t explain. When I found out Aaron Portzline was at the Athletic I subscribed. The podcast does not drag, is a good length, and all three participants are very knowledgeable. I hope they keep it going.

Stories are always good. I feel like all three of you have different strengths and that makes for great coverage. Keeping this podcast conversation like you have so far is what I like the most. Asking questions to each other and answering them allows the listener to answer it in his/her own way and develop nuanced thought from your voices. Good stuff so far.

Great start to a new podcast. Hopefully more consistent this yr than yrs past (including dispatch yrs).
