Steph, earl, and Jackie say words about the Colorado Avalanche's outdoor game and its longest intermission of all time, maybe? Plus, Grubauer Appreciation Hour, Nathan MacKinnon is ridiculous, we're gonna miss the Golden Knights when they're gone (even if Vegas-28 is a turd), and what's going on with the AHL team since most of their regulars have been with the Avs?

Burgundy Radio: Sun Delay (2/22/2021)

The Avalanche are on hiatus due to covid after going without Nathan MacKinnon for one game. Again. Plus, our MVPs and surprises of the season so far, a role found for Tyson Jost, and, regrettably, the Avalanche chose to play He Who Must Not Be Played...

Burgundy Radio: Schedule Lost (2/8/2021)

We don't talk about Nathan MacKinnon's injury in this episode because it hadn't happened yet. We do try to figure out how the Avs can find cap space to call up players, marvel at Bowen Byram, and complain about Martin Kaut's demotion, though.

Burgundy Radio: Salary Crap (1/31/2021)

We open the season in busy fashion by bidding adieu to Ian Cole, welcoming Bowen Byram to the lineup, shaking our heads at mystery injuries and the goalie pipeline, and wondering where the second line is!

Burgundy Radio: Tale of Two Teams (1/23/2021)

Burgundy Radio has nothing but hype for the Avs prospects at WJCs, tries to read the tea leaves on the taxi squad, and then gets proven right when news drops during the show!

Burgundy Radio: Fiscal Day (Preseason 2021!!)

As the dust settles on the Avs offseason, Steph, earl, and Jackie search for meaning in the Devon Toews trade, and Graves and Jost signings.(We're pretty happy about it all.)

Burgundy Radio: Saadorov (10/12/2020)

The Avs lost and that sucks. Steph, earl, and Jackie have some ideas as to why. This is a monster; maybe listen to it in segments as we go through the penalty kill, Michael Hutchinson, and Steph's tinfoil hattery, then do a player by player breakdown that is totally not player grades, I swear!

(THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE THIS TIME!) Steph, Jackie, Earl, and Vlad try to figure out what just happened in the Colorado Avalanche's 2nd round series.

Burgundy Radio: Fraud Detection (8/10/2020)

Steph, Jackie, and earl get together during a storm at earl's house to draw meaning from a meaningless game and guess at the Colorado Avalanche's chances at bringing home a high seed from the round robin. Also, adieu to Vlad Kamenev?, Steph swears a lot for some reason, and popcorn predictions for Round Zero knockout series!

Burgundy Radio: Go do the thing! (Round 0 Preview)

Steph, Earl, and Jackie are back to look at what we've missed this past month, players on the fringes of the Avs' pre-playoffs training camp, new looks higher up, and some... new CBA hype? Are we sure this is the NHL?

Burgundy Radio: Who's on the boat? (Training Camp II)

Steph, earl, and Jackie are back because the NHL has released its return-to-play plan! Which Round Zero games are exciting? What the heck is a Hygiene Officer? Why does Jackie hate Columbus? We answer the big questions

Great podcast

Burgundy Radio

Tim Peel

Steph, earl and Jackie break down the road trip and wonder about the playoffs outlook. Plus, trying not to worry about Ian Cole, a hotly contested Star of the Week, and what to do with the injury to Kamenev!

Burgundy Radio: A Tim Peel Joint (12/10/2018)

The Avs have lost several of their best players to injury and they just scored nine goals on the Predators anyway. We look at the bad bits, the good bits, and howl into the void that is the NHL rulebook over the past two weeks. Plus, a preview of what's coming up on the swing through western Canada!

Steph, earl, and Jackie meet up between games of the Avalanche's back to back with Chicago to try and figure out whether we can trust this winning streak or not. Plus, Grubauer is killing it, Shane Bowers may stay at BU, and the next step without Mikko Rantanen in the lineup!

Burgundy Radio: Nobody knows anything (3/25/2018)

The Avalanche made all their selections in the 2019 Entry Draft. Steph enlisted tigervixxxen, earl, and Rudo to tell you everything we like about them and everything we're worried about with them. Plus, we talk UFA targets, and earl is not, in fact, in orbit!

Burgundy Radio: 2019 Draft Show!

Everyone is here to celebrate the Avalanche season as it comes to a close. Plus, That Offsides Call, the Avs' MVP and unsung heroes, and Steph steals Jackie's question idea as if it were their own: Should the 2019-20 Colorado Avalanche be considered a contender?

Burgundy Radio: urface is offside. (2018-19 Season Finale)

The Avs are on a 9-game points streak, even if this week was ugly. The gang talk about Pavel Francouz, making space on the blueline for.... Anton Lindholm? and Akim Aliu's blackface incident with the Eagles. Also, breaking down Taylor Hall trade destinations that aren't the Avs!

Burgundy Radio: 8-0-1 (12/16/19)

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo are back! We wonder if the Avalanche actually have two different power plays and Jackie has a terrible suggestion for the MacKinnon line's nickname. Plus, the offside reviews come for our show D:

Burgundy Radio: Off the Gold Chain (11/13/2018)

Steph, earl, and Jackie collectively grasp at straws to try to explain why the Avalanche are suddenly giving up half a dozen goals a game. Also, everyone hated the Islanders game, claps for Sam Girard, and the Devils fire Ray Shero in the middle of the show!

Cale Makar

Burgundy Radio: The 1st Cale Makar episode (10/28/2019)

Valerie Nichushkin is a goal scorer now. We have no idea what to do with this information. Also, give Nathan MacKinnon the dang Hart already, whether the Avs trading for Taylor Hall is even a good idea, it's impossible for the Avs to lose in Boston, and a quick aside on hockey's culture problem coming to light. It lasts from 22:58-29:50 if you would like to avoid such topics.

This time, the Western Canada trip maybe didn't ruin the Avalanche, even though it tried very hard to? Also, the Avs call up a defender during the show, piecing together what's going wrong with team defense, Cale Makar remains Cale Makar, and we promise Burgundy Radio isn't sponsored. Pinky swear.

Burgundy Radio: How does this affect the Leafs? (11/25/2019)

Steph, earl, and Jackie break down the madness from Game 1 and 2 of Colorado's first round series with the Calgary Flames, hype up Gabe Landeskog, and finally get an answer to the age-old question: Dude, where's Makar?

Burgundy Radio: One Apiece (4/15/2019)

Steph, earl, and Jackie take a look at how the Avalanche have made it a 10 game point streak, The Erik Johnson Red Mist Incident 2018, and what the Avs can do in the absence of two of their defenders.

Burgundy Radio: Mark, Alt. [We don't like our guys] (12/2/2018)

Steph is joined by earl, Rudo, and Jackie after that disgraceful, but flu-ridden, loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Will Ian Cole get suspended? Why did the team stop doing what was working??? Why won't Minnesota just lose their games?????

Burgundy Radio: Consistently bad (2/18/2018)

Steph, earl, Jackie, and Rudo were left by the NHL scheduler with only 1 second round game to yell about, so they took the opportunity to, er, "preview" the remaining up-to-6 games, and find lessons in Game 1 for the Avs to learn from.

Burgundy Radio: Wild Card Chaos (04/28/2019)

Jackie is back! She re-joins Steph and earl for a bunch of speculation: What should the Avs do this trade deadline? What might actually happen? What need has to be addressed in the next six months? Which voice on the pod gets a debilitating calf cramp but finishes their shift anyway?

Burgundy Radio: Trade Deadline Approacheth (2/4/2018)

Steph, earl, and Jackie thought this thing was over but apparently it isn't. We reflect on a tough week of... wins...? Plus, the lineup without Gabe Landeskog, if and when you can expect Cale Makar, and the question must be asked: Can the Avalanche bank points? Is it possible?

Burgundy Radio: Not dead yet (3/11/19)

Steph gets back together with earl, Jackie, and Rudo to party because the Colorado Avalanche won all 4 games of their homestand. Plus, impacts from new players, Pavel Francouz made his NHL starting debut, and the road trip gets a paper-tiger check!

Roger Ailes started Fox News and is described by many as one of the main drivers of the polarisation of US politics. 
If you don't know about Ailie you should. A great place to start is the ShowTime miniseries "The Loudest Voice". 
This interview is with Joe Lindsley who worked directly for Ailes for 2 years. 
"Very earlier on, Roger called me Ailes Junior. He told my dad, 'I've never met anyone more like me than Joe.'" As the protégé of Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, Joe Lindsley was closer to the man who built Fox News than any Fox executive.
Lindsley recounts how Ailes would routinely ask him to change media coverage of stories based on 'who is good and bad' and how Ailes said 'there is no such thing as truth'. 
This interview corroborates much of the TV miniseries "The Loudest Voice".

As the protégé of Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, Joe Lindsley was closer to the man who built Fox News than any Fox executive. He helped write Ailes' speeches, sat next to him at executive meetings, and went to church with his family on Sundays.

The best podcasts about ourselves as well as the world through the lense of Science. Specific topics include things about our brain, emotions to biology, physics and more!

Right now, billions of neurons in your brain are working together to generate a conscious experience -- and not just any conscious experience, your experience of the world around you and of yourself within it. How does this happen? According to neuroscientist Anil Seth, we're all hallucinating all the time; when we agree about our hallucinations, we call it "reality." Join Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

Using examples from vacations to colonoscopies, Nobel laureate and founder of behavioral economics Daniel Kahneman reveals how our "experiencing selves" and our "remembering selves" perceive happiness differently. This new insight has profound implications for economics, public policy -- and our own self-awareness.
