No radio station in the USA talks more hockey than WGR Sports Radio 550 and no radio station talks more Sabres and NHL hockey better than The Instigators with Andrew Peters and Craig Rivet. Heard daily from 10AM-12PM on WGR and simulcast on MSG TV, The Instigators goes deep into the corners everyday, breaking down the play and the players of every Sabres game. Plus, the Instigators takes listeners around the NHL getting the inside scoop on all the top stories.
The Instigators podcast is a must-listen for any hockey fan, especially those who support the Buffalo Sabres. As a Buffalo native and hockey fan living away from home, I rely on this podcast to keep up with all things Sabres. Hosted by Andrew Peters, Craig Rivet, and Martin Biron, this show is both entertaining and informative. The chemistry between the hosts is evident as they discuss the latest news in the NHL and share their own insights and experiences from their time in the league.
One of the best aspects of The Instigators podcast is the wealth of knowledge and expertise that each host brings to the table. Peters, Rivet, and Biron have all played professional hockey at a high level, so their insights into the game are invaluable. They provide unique perspectives on current events in the NHL and offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be a player in the league. Their anecdotes from "back in the day" are always enjoyable to listen to.
Another great aspect of this podcast is their lineup of impressive guests. From fellow players to analysts, they bring in knowledgeable individuals who add depth to their discussions. Guests like Jeremy Roenick and Darren Dreger provide valuable insights and contribute to engaging conversations on various hockey topics. It's refreshing to hear different voices weighing in on important issues in the sport.
However, there are some drawbacks to The Instigators podcast as well. One recurring issue is their remote recording setup using Skype. While understandable due to current circumstances, it can be frustrating for listeners when there are technical difficulties causing overlapping conversations or poor audio quality. Additionally, Rivet's internet connection often seems unstable, resulting in disruptions during discussions. These issues can make it difficult at times to fully enjoy and engage with the show.
In conclusion, despite its few shortcomings, The Instigators podcast is a fantastic listen for any hockey enthusiast or Sabres fan looking for unique perspectives on the sport. The chemistry between the hosts, their extensive knowledge, and the array of insightful guests make this show stand out among other hockey podcasts. I look forward to every episode and appreciate the raw emotions and honesty that Peters, Rivet, Biron, and their guests bring to each discussion. Whether you're a diehard Sabres fan or just a hockey lover in general, this podcast is definitely worth adding to your rotation.
