We’ve been doing BSH Radio — our site’s Philadelphia Flyers podcast — in some form for more than five years, dating back to the the first time myself, Ben Rothenberg and Geoff Detweiler vomited some words into your crappy iPhone 4 headphones.
But in recent years, we’ve downright sucked at putting out a podcast with any regularity. Look at our last two episodes as an example: Ep. 77 was a 2015-16 season preview, and Ep. 78 was titled “Can the Flyers upset the Capitals?” … oops.
We’re going to make sure that Eps. 79-??? come through a bit more consistently, however. And we’re extremely excited to announce that Steph Driver and Bill Matz — who you may know from a variety of other podcasts, Twitter and/or other work covering the Flyers around the city — are joining our site as the hosts of our new/old podcast.
It won’t just be Bill and Steph. We expect Kelly Hinkle from our existing team to be a regular host as well, and our writers who are local to the Philly area will be appearing in studio often. (The rest of us might call in sometimes too!) The voice Steph and Bill bring when they’re on the air together is a great fit for our site and we can’t wait to get started this week. Expect a new episode before the Flyers season begins Friday night, and be sure to follow the show’s new Twitter account at @BSH_Radio!
I’m gonna let Bill make an introduction for the both of them. We’re thrilled to have them as part of our BSH family here.

As the Philadelphia Flyers embark on their 50th anniversary season, my broadcast partner, Stephanie Driver (@StephaliciousD), and I, Bill Matz (@Billadelphia1), are proud to announce we are joining the Broad Street Hockey team.
You may know us from our show YELLING ABOUT SPORTS on Wildfire Radio, or from co-hosting The Orange Update and SOP Radio over the last year. Steph was also a regular on The Scoop Philly, a Wildfire Radio original. I have been appearing on the Big Daddy Graham program on 94 WIP as a hockey analyst since 2007, and now co-host the show with BDG weekly, while also writing for several sports sites in the city.
Steph and I, along with Kelly Hinkle, Charlie O’Connor and the rest of the BSH team, are looking forward to bringing a great hockey podcast to the city’s number one Flyers blog. We want to have fun talking hockey and having the conversations that you, the fans, want to hear. It’s our goal to entertain our listeners and bring a wide variety of opinions and perspectives to the show, so that Flyers fans get the high quality hockey talk unavailable through any of the city’s other outlets. Broad Street Hockey is known for its top-notch analysis, and we hope to extend that reputation from the screen of your favorite device straight to your ear buds.
With BSH Radio, we will be bringing you weekly breakdowns and analysis of the Flyers and the rest of the NHL, previewing the match-ups ahead, and debating all the news, rumors and stories swirling around the Bullies at 3601 S. Broad Street throughout the season.
We are excited to get started with BSH, and excited to kick off the season with our inaugural episode, previewing the 2016-17 season, which will be available starting Thursday night.
Be sure to download the Liberty Podcasts app from the iTunes or Google Play stores to keep up with BSH Radio, and all the rest of our network partners.
