    Craig does a great job in this interview eliciting insight into the philosophy and approach to owning and managing an NHL team. Craig uses his disarming style to get candid and thoughtful answers to important questions. It’s also clear that Dundon has learned and refined his approach during his time in the NHL. Good stuff!

    First of all, I have to say that the song you play for the intro and outro sets the mood for the show n it’s perfect because Craig’s voice is one of the easiest to listen to from any podcast (and I listen to a lot). Secondly, this was the best I’ve heard from Greg because there was no overdone reactions except maybe one and none of his horrid ear stabbing impersonations that are so far off and I wish I never had to hear again (but Im a masochist apparently and enjoy the hockey content). Emily is always a pleasure to listen to and Dom is a lot wittier than I usually catch on to. Overall great podcast and please keep it up!

    Craig Custance - great interviewer
    I have enjoyed Craig’s work for a long time. Now he has established a very high bar for himself with his interview of SI’s Michael Farber! And the show with Rick Dudley may have been the most informative and funny I have ever heard. The Full :60 is never a waste of time!

    Hey. I used to be a hockey fan as a kid playing peewee before I gave it up to play high school football in the mid 90s. This podcast has essentially been my reintroduction this year to the hockey scene after about 25 years. It has really been a pleasure. Thank you so much for what you do.

    Perfect Hockey Interview Pod
    Craig does an incredible job of helping his guests tell their stories and asking the questions I would never think to ask. Super easy listening with binge-worthy episodes that lend fantastic perspective and context to the NHL (and greater hockey ecosystem) and the individuals who make it what it is. An absolute must-listen pod for any hockey fan, regardless of where your fandom lies. Ps- if you haven’t subscribed to the Athletic yet, you’re doing something seriously wrong.

    Thoughtful, interesting and always a unique POV
    Every episode I've heard so far has a great and unique perspective on the current hockey world. He's able to get his guests to open up and be real with a very comfortable vibe. Quickly becoming one of my favorite hockey pods to have in the mix.
  • TedtheWildFan
    Excellent use of your time
    Craig consistently brings thoughtful, surprising, inclusive, progressive content. I discovered him through the old ESPN podcast with LeBrun, Burnside, etc. As a disciple of Mike Russo, I was delighted to join the Athletic, where EXCELLENT sports journalism rules, and be able to get more Custance. Best hockey podcast, IMO...
  • Jumping Joe Smashero
    Wow
    Craig kills it. He manages his guests so well and doesn’t dominate the conversation. He provokes discussion and covers a wide range of hockey related subject.
  • TravisBeckman
    Listening is Key
    Craig is the best listener of any of the podcasts I listen to. He gets the best out of his guests without any ego involved.
  • Markscottbiz

    Craig is awesome ! He listens so well and doesn’t try to dominate. I love it.

    Prospect Podcast
    I’m not even five minutes into the prospect podcast with Scott Wheeler and I love it. The concept is great for a Red Wings fan who needs hope during a tough season and prospect news brings that for me.
  • tribirdie
    A great listen
    It’s not just about the hockey a very enjoyable, entertaining and often time educational way to occupy my mind while I’m making dinner! Thanks Craig for the great interviews!
  • ahapens
    Essential NHL podcast
    Craig is really really good at this. You should also buy his book.
  • Xtoval
    Good conversations about hockey
    Craig Custance is an excellent genial host. I managed to listen to a full 60 minutes of his interview with Pierre McGuire. That is how good he is.
  • Medanyo
    Entertaining
    Good listen!

    Reload the app
    I don’t know if this is true for all Athletic subscribers, but I had to delete the app I’d been using for the last several months and then reload it for any of the podcasts to show.
  • *Gee Rant*
    Great listening
    Love the fact I can be late listening to each podcast and it’s still relevant.... Any chance of interviewing the team of Eddie and Doug at the Puck Podcast?
  • MW GoTerps
    Great Podcast
    One of the best and most thoughtful sports podcasts out there. Great hockey coverage but also very accessible and interesting to non-hard core hockey fans. Thanks for putting this out there every week.
  • ElevationColdCoffee
    Great hockey podcast!
    Craig has one of the best hockey podcasts around, even if he covers the dreaded Redwings.
  • Fluffhead69
    Always a great listen!
    I really miss the whole ESPN: Hockey Today crew but it seems most of you have found your way back to different podcasts and this is another great addition to my library. I originally started listening to fill up time in my 90min commute to work but now that my commute is only 10min, I force myself to carve out time so I never miss an episode. Keep up the great work!
  • Svechniac2018
    One of my favorite hockey podcasts
    I listen to a lot of hockey podcasts and this has become one of my favorites. I enjoy Craig’s conversational style of interviewing the great guests he has on each week. It seems like I learn something each episode and he has introduced me to people in hockey I had never heard of before.

    The Best Stories About Hockey
    This is not a podcast that only addresses the current state of the NHL. Craig Custance gets his guests to talk about the most interesting things that have happened to them in their careers. We learn how the guests got to where they are today, and we hear the stories they would tell their friends.
  • SaraL.G
    Love this podcast
    My boyfriend recommended this podcast to me, and I have only listened to the Team North America and Sara Civian episodes, but really enjoyed both. It was great to hear Civ tell her story in her own words. Would love to hear the oral history of the CAN/USA women’s gold medal game!
  • Katmandu11
    60 minutes I look forward to every week
    Is an entertaining and informative podcast every week. Craig always gets the most out of his guest. His guest come from all facets of the hockey world (players, agents, reports, front office, etc.)
  • Kenner-boy
    Incredible
    The team North America pod was the first I’ve listened to and I was so invested in the story. I can’t believe how drawn into the moment I felt. Very well made.
  • BennVT
    Consistently Interesting
    The Full60 podcast is where I go for my hockey fix. The episodes are always interesting and informative. The recent oral history of the World Cup was and outstanding example of creative coverage. Keep up the good work! Dave P Bennington, VT

    Great podcast
    Great interviews with interesting guests on a variety of topics. What more do you want?
  • Bhurry
    Three Stars for Team North America
    I’ve enjoyed every episode so far, but the Team NA one was by far my favorite. It’s great to hear the guys talking about that team since it was so magical to watch. Loved the written piece in The Athletic, this is such a great complement to it.
  • Koh139
    Craig is great
    Craig obviously has a lot of skill as a journalist but what sets him (and the podcast) apart is his ability to get his guests to open up. It feels like he’s been friends with every one of them for 20 years, even if they just met. A great hockey podcast, but also a great podcast to hear the stories of other people’s lives.
  • Lon Berry
    One of the Best
    The best thing about The Full 60 is that you never know what Craig has up his sleeve. You can have a behind the scenes look from an Assistant GM, or have a simple chat with the up and coming NHL stars at media day, and everything in between. This podcast is insightful, it's light, it's fun, and it is a huge service for any and all hockey fans.
  • MurphDen614
    I’m the worst Full 60 listener
    Craig Im sorry. I’ve been listening to this free piece of art for so long and I’ve never reviewed. I listen to the full 60 religiously when you release a new epi and I go back and listen to old ones at least once a week. The episode with Darryl Belfry knocked my socks off and challenged me to push myself further in all my endeavors. I also loved the book and as my apology to you for not leaving a review for so long, I just ordered the book after reading it originally from the library. Hope you accept my apology. From Columbus with Love.

    A hockey fan’s treat
    Craig has a great podcast here. Lots of great hockey stories and an awesome mix of guests!
  • AMcKerrow
    Great Podcast!
    I’m going to buy both your and Rob’s book! Thanks!
  • Doogie 28
    Excellent for Hockey fans
    Can’t say enough good things about Craig’s podcast. I love the range of topics and I always learn something new. The latest with Rob Simpson was awesome! Thanks Craiger!
  • CBJ_KAV
    So soothing
    Amazing podcast. The depth you crave without the focus being solely on the “hot take”/bold prediction angle you get from many hockey podcasts. True quality journalism focused on cutting through the trite stock answers we often get. Clearly has the respect and admiration of his guests. Great guests, well crafted. And my personal favorite part is how soothing Craigs tone of voice is and the quality of the audio. Hits you like a peaceful morning on the porch with a good cup of coffee. Thanks craig!!
  • Chuckdonald9
    Incredible Information
    As a current player and aspiring Front Office Executive, Craig does a great job showing all sides of the game. Content is incredible and an awesome podcast to learn from!
  • mlg__3366
    Great listen
    Great podcast for those interested in the behind the scene nuances of the NHL. Craig Custance is a great interviewer. His demeanor and genuineness get the best out of his guests, who represent all walks of life in the hockey domain. Clean, excellent, hockey talk. I always look forward to a new show.
  • philgaff
    First time listener
    I like the interview with the young player’s off season training program. My daughter is a McAvoy fan and am going to play it to her on the way to the rink. How about Rick Middleton for an interview , an often overlooked player from the 80’s
  • Baron69in
    Fantastic pod
    Love Craig’s pod. Always interesting and he does a great job getting his guests to open up in a way that you don’t normally hear. Bonus: listen to his intro/break/end sections in 1/2 time if you want to hear what a sleepy drunk Craig might sound like. -Paul
  • lis-tigre
    Good stuff
    No hot takes, no fart jokes, just solid interviews with interesting people.

    A different side of the game
    Love this podcast, it takes a look at the game from every aspect and not just what happens during the games.
