    Ivy Insights

    The Behind the Cage podcast is an absolute gem in the world of entertainment. Hosted by Eddie and Patty from UMaine, this podcast never fails to leave me in fits of laughter. Whether I'm on a road trip or just driving in my car, I find myself eagerly clicking on Apple Podcasts to tune in, but I must admit that watching it on YouTube at home adds an extra layer of enjoyment. The visual aspect of seeing their reactions and facial expressions to the topics they discuss adds a whole new dynamic to the experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Behind the Cage podcast is undoubtedly the chemistry between Eddie and Patty. Their banter and comedic timing are spot-on, creating a lively and entertaining atmosphere throughout each episode. It's clear that these two friends have a genuine connection and enjoy bouncing off each other's energy. They effortlessly keep the conversations flowing, making it feel like you're sitting right there with them, sharing jokes and stories.

    Another standout feature of this podcast is its ability to tackle a wide range of subjects with both humor and depth. Eddie and Patty aren't afraid to dive into controversial or thought-provoking topics, providing unique perspectives that encourage listeners to think critically about various issues. Whether they're discussing current events, pop culture, or personal experiences, their insights are always delivered with a refreshing blend of wit and intelligence.

    However, like any production, The Behind the Cage podcast isn't without its flaws. One aspect that some listeners may find frustrating is the occasional lack of consistency in episode releases. While understanding that life can get busy for content creators, it can be disappointing when there are long stretches between episodes. This inconsistency can disrupt the overall flow and engagement for dedicated fans eagerly awaiting new content.

    In conclusion, The Behind the Cage podcast is an absolute must-listen for anyone seeking a hilarious and engaging audio experience. Eddie and Patty's chemistry combined with their ability to tackle diverse subjects make for a podcast that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Although occasional inconsistencies in episode releases can be a drawback, it doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the show. Whether you prefer to listen on Apple Podcasts or watch on YouTube, The Behind the Cage podcast is sure to leave you entertained and eagerly awaiting more episodes from these talented hosts at UMaine.

    Why Did Pat Shea Retire From Hockey?

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 5, 2024 55:06


    I wasn't sure if I would do this, but I think I owe it to some of you. I still get a lot of dm's and comments asking if Im still playing, or why I'm not anymore. Some of them are genuine, some of them are idiots trying to tell me how to live my life. It's a little bit annoying at times because I've turned the page, you'll hear more during the podcast. I also recently saw people making up lies about why I stopped playing, so I figured I should tell my story. I hope I was able to articulate what's in my head properly, and can help some of you guys understand. I also hope I can inspire a few people to chase their dream and passion as well.
