Chicago Blackhawks legend and NBC Analyst Jeremy Roenick is launching a new podcast with NHL Network broadcaster Billy Jaffe. The new weekly podcast, entitled “Roenick Life Podcast with JR and Jaffe,” will debut on December 16th.
This new show, which will publish every Wednesday on iTunes, Stitcher and Roenicklife.com, will cover NHL storylines and trending topics as well as interviews with big-name guests – all with the passionate, outspoken style for which Roenick is known.
Given that the league obviously influences NHLN, and NBC traditionally is about as vanilla as any of the big four sports broadcasting networks, one wonders who much JR and Jaffe might be limited on those platforms. Not so much here in the new medium, and that should definitely make for “great copy.”
Roenick is certainly at his best when he’s at his most candid.
