    The Expected by Whom? - An Analytics & Eye Test Hockey Podcast is a wonderful new addition to the hockey podcast world. This podcast stands out from others in its unique ways of looking at hockey, often bringing up concepts and perspectives that I never would have thought of impacting the game. The hosts, Prashanth Iyer and Sean Tierney, offer insightful and thought-provoking discussions on various topics related to hockey, making this show a must-listen for any hockey fan.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the excellent interviews that Prashanth and Sean conduct. They bring on guests who are knowledgeable and passionate about the game, adding depth to the discussions and providing listeners with valuable insights. Whether it's players, coaches, or analysts, the interviews on this show offer a different perspective on the game and enhance my understanding of various aspects of hockey.

    Another standout aspect of The Expected by Whom? is how it tackles complex topics in a way that is accessible for both casual fans and die-hard hockey enthusiasts. Prashanth and Sean use their depth of knowledge and experience in hockey to break down concepts into easily understandable bits, making it easier for listeners to grasp analytical ideas without feeling overwhelmed. They strike a great balance between analytics and traditional eye test analysis, bridging the gap between data-driven insights and human elements of the game.

    While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one drawback is that Sean's microphone sometimes picks up his inhales quite sharply, which can be distracting when listening with headphones. It would be great if they could address this audio issue in future episodes to improve the overall listening experience.

    In conclusion, The Expected by Whom? - An Analytics & Eye Test Hockey Podcast is a fantastic show for anyone interested in gaining deeper insights into hockey through both analytics and traditional analysis methods. Prashanth Iyer and Sean Tierney bring a fresh perspective to the discussion while maintaining accessibility for all fans. With their knowledge, experience, and engaging interviews, this podcast is a must-listen for any hockey enthusiast looking to expand their understanding of the game.
