Doctor, doctor...

Concussion, player safety and San Jose Sharks. Is Tom Wilson’s suspension reduction an embarrassment to the league, or the right call by a third abbratrator? Does Gary Bettman deserve a place in the Hockey Hall of Fame whilst he’s still in the role as the NHL’s commissioner? And is the agreement offered for retired hockey players enough when it comes to acknowledging the warnings involved in a job that sees repeated hits to the head? Part One: Jolon and Clare round up key talking points from around the league Part Two: A&E consultant Dr Matt Heywood talks concussion and CTE from a medical point of view, plus how he fell in love with the San Jose Sharks via a t-shirt from M&S and a SEGA Mega Drive game...! Presented by Clare Freeman and Jolon Kemp Walker. Produced by ASFB Productions. (Joe Thornton beard photo credit: Joe Pavelski!) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nhlfansfromafar/message

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
