GOOD WOOD is a podcast about what it’s like to be a hockey fan who thinks maybe these guys should try kissing a little at center ice. Your hosts Kit, Bec, and Jes are longtime transformative fans who are fascinated by fandom communities… and by what happens when our practices collide with mainstream sports cultures.

In this first "minisode," your hosts answ…
