4 local sports podcasts worth subscribing to today
Sports fans it's time to start cheering because we've found local podcasts built for all types of fans
CBC Saskatchewan's local marketing and communications team embarked on a journey to find podcasts that are telling Saskatchewan's story.
We held an exclusive event at the CBC Broadcast Centre in Regina where we gave podcast creators an opportunity to share the best of their podcast with our CBC audience.
Here are some recommendations for great podcasts being produced in the province.
Despite a longstanding trend that favours engaging sports highlights (which you can still find on CBC Sports, of course), sports-focused podcasts are marking their territory in the podcasting world.
Whether the show is structured as serialized seasons or more casual releases featuring news-based discussions you're in for a great listening experience.
Here are four sports podcasts to binge over the holiday season or whenever you get to listening:
Drive The Green
Hosts: Matt Hetherington, Cory Harvey, Brock Nelson
Sport: Golf
Frequency: Weekly

If the bitter cold winter has you dreaming of warmer days on the green, plan your next summer golf trip with their guide to the Ultimate Saskatchewan Golf Roadie.
Meet The Riders
Host: CBC's Peter Mills

Frequency: Casual release

If you're looking for a sports podcast that has a laundry list of engaging guests then look no further than Meet The Riders with Peter Mills.
Mills takes fans beyond the post-game news conference and gets players to share their own personal stories. It's a unique look at the personalities behind Saskatchewan's CFL team.
When asked to pick his favourite episode, Mills said, "That's like picking your favourite child!"
He finally decided on the Loucheiz Purifoy's interview. We'll have to wait and see what his "favourite child" looks like next season.
