    Default Don Cherry's Grapevine Podcast

    Since we dont have enough DC threads already......

    As I am sure most of you now know, Don is bringing back the Grapevine and moving on to doing podcasts. His first one is out now. Anyone give it a listen yet? Apparently he talks more about his firing.

    Should be intersting listening to an unfiltered Don on a weekly basis, for those who still care.

    This is great for him. He'll be able to say mostly anything he wants and it'll simply be catered to like-minded people. Everyone wins!

    I can't say for sure, because I don't get much time to listen to podcasts (I used to listen a lot when I had a longer commute but these days I'm a 10-minute walk to the office), but the early reviews on reddit suggest it was actually a decent podcast. Apparently only 5 minutes or so dedicated to Sportsnet stuff and he just moves on to hockey stuff. I gather the remaining Sens fans out there might like this one because he talks Pageau and Brown

    I listened to it on the way home from work this afternoon. I really expected more bark from Don about the firing but he was quite placid about it. Didnt name names or throw anyone under the bus. Pretty classy about it to be honest. Better than I would have been.

    If that's the case then thumbs up to him. He's looking ahead, not back. He's more ready to move on than a lot of viewers/listeners.

    It's barely a blip in his rear view mirror from what i got. The show wasnt bad. Was kinda like sitting around having a "pop" with Don while he reminisces. I liked the podcast.

    Yes and that's a good thing. Podcasts don't have to be for everyone. They're not in an intermission of a hockey game. They exist on their own. It's there if you want to listen.

    He's got enough material in his bank to have this style of Podcast. The last thing he should be doing is trying to re-make Coaches Corner.

    It did make me laugh to know his son and his grandson are helping him. The grandson's gotta be there to help on the technology side lol.

    It was only a matter of time. I will likely give it a show but I don't see it replacing any of the other podcasts I listen to.

    He really didnt try and make it a Coaches Corner. It was definitely more of an old Grapevine show than a Coaches Corner, if you remember the Grapevine TV show he used to have. His son was a nice compliment, feeding Grapes the questions and direction. You didnt hear from his grandson at all so I assume you are right when you say he's there for the technical side of things.

    All in all, if the format rolls like it did yesterday, it will be a good podcast.

    And I really have no questions on if he would have tried to re-create Coaches Corner. He's got a ton of stories where he can, and has, leave that part of his life in the past. To think, if he's got 1 story for every yr of hockey he's been apart of, he can do like 70 podcasts.
