Confessions of a Puck Bunny (Puck Soup Podcast)

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

PUCK SOUP is the hockey podcast on the Nerdist network from 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 34, Greg and Dave speak with a self-identifying “puck bunny” about how she entered that lifestyle, her relationships with players, how hockey guys differ from other athletes, how she handles dangerous situations and harassment, and how she feels about women hockey fans being taunted as “puck bunnies” due to her activities. It’s a raw, honest discussion about an uncomfortable facet of fandom. That, plus the Islanders fire Jack Capuano; the status of all 31 NHL general managers; Ilya Bryzgalov and Patrik Laine comments on bears in schools; plus reader mail about Trump, the Vegas Raiders, Jonathan Cheechoo and bacon.
