28 SEP 2017 · In a continuation from the last episode, Blake Murphy, Managing Editor of Raptors Republic, we covered a variety of topics including the rise and origin story of Shams Charania; Summer League takeaways; fighting the cyclical feelings of a season and finding new things to improve on in his craft. We then did a Raptors deep dive covering questions such as: how would he have handled the offseason if he was GM; favourite Raptor of all time; Bruno Caboclo vs OG Anunoby; how does Jonas Valanciunas fit in the modern NBA; how the Raptors' culture 'reset' and a couple of other questions.

Topics that were discussed in this episode include: his start in writing; how an opportunity at theScore led to him focusing his efforts in basketball; the advantages the NBA has in marketing their stars compared to other sports; how players become more comfortable interacting with the media; the process he used to become an established NBA writer; his fandom of wrestling; the role of social media; and the personal struggle of balancing of breaking news vs having good analysis on the news.

18 SEP 2017 · Greg Wyshynski, Editor of Yahoo Sports Puck Daddy Blog and co-host of the Marek vs Wyshynski and Puck Soup podcasts, came on the KossTalk podcast ahead of the Puck Talks event in Toronto to talk about his career. As a person who has been in the industry for over a decade, we went over a number of topics including his writing style; what makes a good writer; the homogenous nature of the majority of coverage of the sport; the state of the industry; how it has evolved since he entered; his two podcasts and what goes into finding chemistry with his cohosts; the culture of the locker room and the inability for hockey players to be unique; and his two books. Before we closed out we went into some NHL questions including the Devils season outlook, the Edmonton controversy he sparked with his 'happy' comments, and the Olympics. We closed out the episode with Greg answering Jon's question from last week and then asked one of his own for the next guest!
