Two years ago at this time, the Nashville Predators were the talk of the NHL signing a trio of high-profile free agents and assuming the expectations that came with it. In short, 2024-25 was a train wreck from opening night.Last season didn't start much better before a late push got the Predators into a spot in late March before falling short at the finish.After an aggressive off-season by new team President/GM Chris MacFarland improved team depth considerably, the expectations have returned.Head coach Andrew Brunette joins Neil and Vic to discuss a pivotal season coming up in Music City.There's also some league news to catch up on as a former villain in Montreal signs with the Canadiens and the effect that has on the Anaheim Ducks.IN THIS EPISODE[01:18] - Predators head coach Andrew Brunette is welcomed to the show with a quick look back to the Game 7 overtime goal he scored for Minnesota in Colorado in 2003, a goal which was the last surrendered by Patrick Roy in his brilliant NHL career.[02:53] - A seventh-round pick in both junior hockey and in the NHL, Brunette comments on a career spanning over 1100 games with a half dozen organizations including Nashville and twice with Minnesota.[06:25] - The aspiration to be a head coach amidst having assumed several front office roles with Minnesota upon retirement as a player in 2013.[11:02] - After taking over Florida for Joel Quenneville early in the 2021-22 season, Brunette leads the Panthers to the Presidents' Trophy and is a coach of the year finalist, yet is replaced. As opposed to accepting a front office position with Florida, he opts to join New Jersey as an associate coach in order to remain behind the bench.[13:16] - The call from Nashville to be the head coach and what could have been in the Predators opening round series with Vancouver in 2024.[15:53] - The summer of 2024. Three high-profile free agent signings came with equally high expectations for the Predators. Brunette candidly speaks about the difficulty of that season from its very outset.[19:20] - 2025-26 started much like the season before. However, things eventually began to kick in and the team just fell short of the playoffs after finding themselves in a spot in late March. Brunette credits then-GM Barry Trotz for helping him grow through two challenging seasons.[22:16] - Just as there was a transition two years ago with new players, there comes another one with Chris MacFarland coming over from Colorado to replace Trotz.[24:05] - With MacFarland making a quick impression with numerous acquisitions, the feeling with this new group and the experience of two seasons ago that prepares Brunette for the expectation this time around.[26:46] - What fans can expect to see when the Predators are on their game.[29:14] - Wrapping up the discussion with Andrew Brunette and other league news including Chris Kreider's arrival in Montreal, a controversial signing in Edmonton, a former captain headed to Red Wings training camps and a couple of retirements.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #NHLWraparound.com #ShortShifts #NYCentric #CelebritySeries #HallofFameEdition #StanleyCupdate #SummerCoolers #Smith'sPix #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #BZZR #UBS #AndrewBrunette #SpencerCarbery #RodBrind'Amour #JeffBlashill #PeterDeBoer #JohnHynes #PatrickRoy #MikeYeo #JohnTorchetti #ChuckFletcher #PaulFenton #JoelErikssonEk #JoelQuenneville #PaulMaurice #LindyRuff #JackHughes #NicoHischier #JesperBratt #DougieHamilton #BarryTrotz #BrockBoeser #RomanJosi #DavidPoile #StevenStamkos #JonathanMarchessault #BradySkjei #ChrisMacFarland #JoeSakic #RossColton #JackDrury #ChaseBradley #JackAchan #MavrikBourque #IlyaLyubushkin #NilsHoglander #AlexKerfoot #AdamEdstrom #ErikHaula #FedorSvechkov #ZachL'Heureux #LukeEvangelista #ChrisKreider #JeffGorton #MartinSt.Louis #CareyPrice #JurajSlafkovsky #JimRamsay #CutterGauthier #LeoCarlsson #PatVerbeek #AlexFormenton #MaryLoewen #MamaStanley #StanBowman #MikeBabcock #DylanLarkin #MaxDomi #TieDomi #JohnKlingberg #ConnorIngram #ElliotteFriedman #AnaheimDucks #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #AtlantaThrashers #OwenSoundPlaters #OHL #PortlandPirates #AHL #CalderCup #JackAdamsAward #NHLPlayerAssistanceProgram #MastertonTrophy

If you've heard much thunder around the bluegrass space of late, it's likely due to the growing presence of Thunder & Rain. Erinn Peet Lukes's new grass band has been around for more than 10 years. It has shape-shifted through a few different members, inner-circle romantic relationship issues and Lukes's move from Denver to Nashville. But now Lukes is settled in Music City and Thunder & Rain's latest four-piece, all-female bluegrass roster is primed for the big time. Lutes (vocals and guitar) is joined by Amelia Ransom on fiddle, Laura Ray on banjo and the newest addition, Amanda Accari on upright bass. Lukes joined Frank and Falls this week to talk about the group's evolution, world travel, engineered virality with strategic cover songs and more. Frank and Falls saw the band live at Crossroads Acoustic Fest in April and couldn't stop talking about their on-stage energy and playing chops. The group's latest album Storybook Sessions is a beautiful blend of country and bluegrass influence. They're probably best known for their bluegrass cover of Guns & Roses's “Sweet Child o' Mine”. Lutes says the group is anxious to get back in the studio to record another album with the full, four-person lineup soon. Frank and Falls also have their normal pickin' the grinnin' choices for music recommendations this week. Frank chose the Aaron Kelly Band and Aaron Kelly, who is a John Prine-inspired singer-songwriter. Falls offered up a book this time after coming around on Wilco. He read Greg Kot's history of Jeff Tweedy's career, Wilco: Learning How To Die. Find the picks on Spotify and Amazon.

There's a time when whiskey enthusiasm takes it to the next level. I've lived through it. I was a stone cold hobbyist, and I still am, but then I started a podcast and now Ryan and I have Pursuit Spirits. We don't know how to stop taking a hobby too far. And our guest today is no different. Mike Hinds is co-founder of Nashville Barrel Company, Mike takes us back five or six years to NBC's humble beginnings, starting with local charity picks for cancer research, hunting down Jack Daniel's, Weller 12, and Willett single barrels, and making frequent runs to Bardstown to learn the ropes. When he decided to start Nashville Barrel Company there were plenty of operational headaches like sourcing whiskey and dealing with shady brokers but a few mismatched samples unexpectedly got them a hit they kept on playing with Kelvin barrels. Since then they have been expanding into downtown Music City, and have now opened a new spot in NuLu called the Louisville Rickhouse Company. Instead of chasing cheap inventory or relying on marketing gimmicks, Mike shares how their focus cask-strength single barrels built consumer trust and whiskey clubs kept their growth soaring. We also talk about Stella, the official company dog, their VIP club, and how Mike has been one of the few lucky people in history to pick a single barrel of Pappy Van Winkle 15. Show Notes: How a passion for bottle shares, charity picks, and barrel hunting birthed Nashville Barrel Company. Early sourcing realities: broker blunders, mismatched samples, and launching with rye instead of bourbon. Pivoting during COVID from third-party co-packers to brick-and-mortar locations in Nashville and Louisville. The strategy behind building a brand on cask-strength single barrels and authentic community trust over gimmicks. Inside NBC's special releases, including a Pappy 15 single barrel, "The Compromise" blend, and their VIP club. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode 368: He's one of Music City's most respected "multi-hyphenate" music-makers - an artist-singer-songwriter-picker-producer who's had his hand in scores of hit records while releasing much-admired albums of his own over a 20 year career in town. Craig regards him as a "Music Row whisperer," a guy with his finger on the pulse of the industry and a well-rooted point of view in the music he makes. He returns to the String with the new album Once Upon A Second Time Around and, though he didn't know it at the time, a new Grand Ole Opry member trophy. 

The fans won't call it a rivalry or give it a proper name, but it deserves to be recognized. When Cincinnati was the punk rocker, Nashville was playing the blues. Now the Music City is hotter than their chicken, while the Queen City is under a gentle boil. This couldn't have happened overnight, but Nashville SC are the current U.S. Open Cup holders. There's a great chance they run away with the Supporters' Shield. Dare we even consider them to be easily in the running for a double? We bring in Tyler from BigTV to give us a fantastic analysis on why Nashville's potentially breaking records. How did the team without a constant #9 become the gold standard?

For about as long as country music has existed, the Carter Family has been at the heart of it. Only after June Carter reached the top of the Music City ladder, first taking the Grand Ole Opry stage at just 21 years old, would she became one half of the greatest power couple country music has ever known. As told in the final Dolls Pod episode before our fall sabbatical, the second Mrs. Cash navigated addiction, affairs, danger, and darkness under the punishing spotlight of fame. June's legacy spans the entire history of the genre she helped define, and her love for the Man in Black survived against all odds. Johnny and June chose each other and their faith time and time again, as life's trials put them through that “ring of fire.”“June Carter Cash: Through The Ring of Fire” is available wherever you stream your podcasts ❤️‍

How many ways can we say that Music Audiology is a small, niche, subspeciality comprised of a handful of dedicated and passionate independent providers? We are a small but tight bunch, and we would like to take a moment to introduce you to one of our ranks: Jason Baker. Dr. Baker hails from none other than Music City itself, Nashville! Naturally, his practice is called Music City Audiology - a name so apropos it makes Talking Ears co-host Frank quite audibly jealous. Lets say you were a musician traveling around the US in need of hearing services, or an audiologist looking to consult with or refer to a music specialist, or an artist management firm aiming to care for your performer's greatest irreplaceable asset (their hearing, naturally)... how would you find a provider? Glad you asked! Simply consult D'MAP - the Directory of Music Audiology Providers at www.musicaud.org

Jayson Nesbitt always loved the occasional treat of going out to eat with his family, whether it be a simple breakfast or chicken tenders from Chili's, restaurants held a special place in his heart. He got his start at Cracker Barrel slingin' pancakes and chicken and dumplings. Before long the call of crafting cocktails pulled him to Nashville where he spent years improving on the craft of bartending at hotels and restaurants.  But when a group of friends decided to move out to California Jayson decided why not go west. He used his industry connections and experience to land a job at Alaro Brewing where he is now helping to execute their amazing cocktail program to go with top notch food and of course, beer.  Max, Neill and Jayson have a wide ranging conversation about the beauty and warts of the hospitality industry.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Hollow Wake is a rock/metalcore band that was born in early 2022. Featuring band members that have roots ranging from punk, emo, hardcore, and rock, Hollow Wake has their own unique blend of modern rock, with mental health as the focus. Since their inception, Hollow Wake has made a name for themselves in the Music City and beyond. With influences ranging from Dayseeker, to The Plot In You, Beartooth, My Chemical Romance, and Silverstein, Hollow Wake has crafted a sound that's both emotional and powerful. This versatility has been on display with their 2026 releases, which range from the introspective, Chester Bennington-esque chorus in "So Cold," to the heavy, grindy nature of their latest single "Face This." Having built a solid fan base on the strength of their songs and live shows alongside the likes of The Word Alive, UNWELL, CKY, Attack Attack!, and Dragged Under, among others, 2026 is shaping up to be Hollow Wake's biggest year yet. After dropping numerous new singles, as well as reworked and reimagined versions of previous releases, Hollow Wake announced in August that they're getting ready to release their sophomore album entitled "Dying To Be Whole." The LP was created in collaboration with Drew Bender of UNWELL. The record tackles themes of grief, healing, identity, and personal growth, a chapter a Hollo Wake calls their heaviest and most dynamic to date.

"I'm not letting anyone stand in the way of me feeding my family." Jeffery Simmons One of our favorite times of year as we kick off The Pivot's NFL Training camp tour and we started our journey in Music City, with a team singing praises for their new coach, new logo and a new mindset...Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with one of the league's most dominant defensive forces, Jeffrey Simmons. The All Pro Defensive Tackle has achieved ultimate individual success in his eight year career but is still chasing that team goal, to win together. From overcoming unimaginable adversity to becoming a first-round draft pick and one of the NFL's premier defensive tackles, Simmons reflects on the journey that shaped him on and off the field. He also opens up about moving beyond the rumors and stigma that followed one mistake in high school, sharing how he rebuilt his reputation through accountability, perseverance, and years of proving himself both as a man and as a player. The conversation dives into the challenge of consistently performing at an elite level while playing on teams that have struggled to win, and what continues to fuel his drive every time he steps on the field. Simmons also discusses the excitement surrounding elite quarterback Cam Ward, why he believes Ward's talent and leadership can help change the trajectory of the franchise, and what it's been like embracing a new era under the Titans' new coaching regime, including the impact of veteran defensive mind Robert Saleh. He also talks about how he's been impressed with Rookie wideout Carnell Tate and what his speed and talents bring to the offensive unit. He doesn't shy away from the emotional side of football either, sharing what it was like watching former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel reach the Super Bowl after spending so many years together in Tennessee, and why that moment of watching his friend play in that game was bittersweet and brought on a sense of what could have been. It's an honest conversation about resilience, redemption, loyalty, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of greatness—on a team still searching for its breakthrough.
