The PITB Podcast is a sometimes weekly podcast where special guests join Daniel Wagner to talk about Canucks, hockey, and whatever else happens to hop into their minds.

Shorthouse shares stories about John Garrett and his ketchup obsession, his biggest influence that got him dreaming of doing play-by-play as a kid, and the challenges of doing play-by-play for a struggling team.

We also take the time to discuss how his perspective on fighting has shifted and the difficulties of doing play-by-play for a hockey fight when you're more worried about the health and safety of those involved. Also, he spills the beans on what is more difficult: play-by-play or colour commentary.
