Here's what I listen to:

31 Thoughts: The Podcast (Jeff Marek and Elliote Friedman)
ESPN On Ice with Wyshynski and Kaplin
Hockey PDOcast (Demitri Filipovic)

And a local Sharks Podcast called Dudes on Hockey.

I know of a few others like Puck Soup and the Steve Dangle podcast but I don't listen to those.

It depends on your flavour.

Spittin chiclets is awesome if you like jock talk, mixed in with player letting their guard down and telling stories.

There's podcasts out there focusing on analytics, if that's your thing.

31 thoughts is pretty good for talking about current events and their aftermath.

I guess we can't answer this question without further details as to what you want out of your podcast.

You know who really should have their own nhl podcast? EJ Hradek. I think he’s perfect for that type of thing

What's your excuse?
Now that downgoesbrown is behind the paywall, puck soup is the only free place to get the funniest man in hockey.

I finally got my student loan, I need to buy an Athletic subscription.

I like Steve Dangle too, but I look at the timecodes and avoid all leaf talk.

I would probably sub out 31 Thoughts if Hradek got a podcast. I don't mind 31 Thoughts, but it can get really too canadian for my tastes (Yes I know it's produced by sportsnet, but I do live in California).

If you played/play hockey, you'll appreciate Spittin Chiclets, since it's former hockey players (and a stoner Bruins fan) talking about stories and getting a bit more personal with their interview guests.

Was very skeptical of Spitting Chiclets at first but now I dont ever miss an episode. Extremely funny and cool to hear about some player stories and what life is like in the NHL. Although I would say talking current events and generally whats happening in the league isn't the main focus of the pod they do have pretty good insights.

31 Thoughts is good. Extremely good production value, but nothing groundbreaking

Biscuits was really good (RIP) because DGB is really good. Lozo is terrible

I tried ESPN on Ice but Wysh has just gotten awful after MVSW ended

I have tried Chicklets, its certainly pretty funny but I can't listen to it. I like Biz and Whit a lot, and their stories from the NHL and they get a lot of good stuff from guests. Its just the other guys on the podcast that are impossible to listen to

I really wish DGB would start a new podcast

Little bit surprised that the Puck Podcast hasn't been mentioned yet, two genuine fans and very informative and fun.

My favourite. The only negative thing I have to say is that it's tedious to hear them go through every single result from the past week. It takes up 25 minutes or so and is completely pointless since that information is available elsewhere anyway. Just do a 5 minute sweep and move on to the interesting stuff where you actually discuss things.

Which ones??

It's not my cup of tea, but I think there is one called pdo cast for example. The guy's name is Dimitri filipovic or something like that.

Someone more in tune with that genre probably knows others.

31Thoughts, Bobcast, Puck Podcast. Spittin' Chicklets every now and then, but it's got a strong 'frat boy' vibe to it. Gets old quick

My favourite is the hockey news podcast. I hate a lot of the hockey news (especially ken Campbell) but the production value is tight.

Otherwise, 31 thoughts, bobcast, and the athletic podcasts are my jams
