The PuckPedia Hockey Show Episode 16: Building a YouTube Channel and Podcast Network ft. Steve Dangle

On Episode 16 of the PuckPedia Hockey Show we welcome Steve Dangle, media personality and co-CEO of the Steve Dangle Podcast Network (SDPN).

Steve tells us about what it was like starting his YouTube channel in 2007 (2:15), making a video after every Toronto Maple Leafs game. He has only missed 7 or 8 games in the last 19 years. He talks about the grind of doing this for 6 years before people started to care (4:00).

He then tells us how that ended up landing his job at Sportsnet in 2013 (5:45), working there for about a decade. Then he goes into detail of what it was like to go off on his own and build his own company and the reason he decided to leave Sportsnet to go out on his own (7:00).

Then we talk about the media rights in social media, and why the MLB has decided to lean in (through their partnership with Jomboy), as well as the NFL and NBA, but not so much on the NHL (9:00). That somehow took a turn into discussing the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef from last year.

Then we talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs, Steve’s favorite team (17:45), and he gives us an inside look on some of the issues with the team this year. Aside from Mitch Marner not being there, Steve thinks the coaching change on the defensive side with Lane Lambert going to the Seattle Kraken has played a big impact on their structure this season (20:00).

Then we wrap up the episode with Steve giving advice to anyone who might want to make a career in the hockey media space.
