Canucks Outsider featured on Canadian Podcast Buffet

Mark from the Canadian Podcast Buffet dropped a note to mention that the Canucks Outsider promo and Q&A profile piece are featured on CPB episode 23 (released May 11).  The Canadian Podcast Buffet podcast features Canadian-brewed podcasts and the guys are organizing a pow wow in Kingston(any want to fly me out? heh) .

They (as expected) tease a little about the timing of my (rather enthusiastic) promo considering the Canucks are well, … playoff outsiders.

Canucks Memorabilia

He waxes nostalgic while reviewing Canucks history and recapping the highs and lows of the Canucks’ seasons since 1993-94, then indulges in a few thoughts from the 1970s while reading an article about Jake Milford flying to Sweden in the Pig Express.   Grab two beverages, it’s a long one.
