Episode 323 of the InGoal Radio Podcast, presented by The Hockey Shop Source for Sports, features another fantastic interview with ex-NHL goalie turned analyst and coach Steve Valiquette.In the feature interview presented by NHL Sense Arena, Valiquette takes us behind the scenes of a summer spent coaching goalies (and inevitably shooters too), walking us through how he translates the scoring chance insights from his data company, Clear Sight Analytics, into on-ice drills over the course of an offseason. Mix those specifics in with stories and anecdotes from his playing days and lessons from New York Rangers goalie Benoit Allaire and legend Henrik Lundqvist, who is also now a sometimes broadcast partner on MSG, and it truly is a can't miss interview.

And in our weekly gear segment, we go to The Hockey Shop Source for Sports for a closer look at a new CCM Vision stick that was so good Dustin Wolf wouldn't give back his demo last season.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts.

Susie's shirt sparked a whole conversation about Ayn Rand, red flag books, Catcher in the Rye, incels, back-to-school hauls, PacSun jeans, the great jeans/genes scandal, and Lauren Sanchez. And none of it was planned. So buckle up. We debate whether/how we can regulate adult content online to limit its exposure to children without compromising free speech and ushering in a surveillance state, and well, we get nowhere. We find out about a UK drug lord whose undoing came from an unlikely informant, and it taught us why you should never trust someone with an unusual pet. We learn how much birds are pooping, and we're not ok. And scientists found out which type of music mosquitoes hate, and let's just say Susie feels vindicated.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster at https://rocketmoney.com/braincandy today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Grab a beer and join us as we pick up in December 1980. We start with Mark David Chapman's second trip to New York, checking into the Y, staking out the Dakota, meeting Jude and Jerry, and getting John Lennon's autograph. Then the shooting at 10:52 p.m., the rush to Roosevelt Hospital, and the arrest at the gate, with Mark sitting with The Catcher in the Rye, telling officers “I acted alone.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we start our series on Mark David Chapman. Part 1 tracks Mark from a 1955 birth in Fort Worth through a tense home, rocking tics, and the “Little People” fantasy, into a teen slide—drugs, skipping school, a short runaway to Miami—followed by a 1971 born-again turn. We cover his YMCA work (the kids called him “Nemo”), his relationship with Jessica, Covenant College, cheating on his girlfriend and the guilt that sent him into depression, and a failed suicide attempt in Hawaii—where a passing fisherman woke him up. From there we follow the hospital stay, a steadier stretch, meeting and marrying Gloria Abe, and the jobs that didn't stick. By 1980, the debt is paid off but the mood swings get worse. Catcher in the Rye moves to the center, the Little People come back, and his anger at John Lennon grows—burned records, “bigger than Jesus,” and calling out “phonies.” We end with October 1980: the gun purchase, the “John Lennon” signature crossed out on his resignation, and flying to New York.
