    Great podcast by even an even better writer
    First, Art is the BEST writer out there when it comes to the Islanders. He really surprised me with the evolution of his writing after leaving Newsday for The Athletic and I’ve been a subscriber ever since. His speaking style kinda matches his writing style; very level headed, logical, but also thoughtful, analytical, and a sly humor at times. AJ is far and away the best of his co-hosts and will be missed, but a revolving door of ex players as his new co-hosts could be intriguing too. I hope Parrish is doing better, you gotta update the fans on him, Art!
  • Edwinmendez
    Great Islander Podcast
    Arthur and AJ do a great job, keeping Isles fans up to date. Clear and fair coverage. Not to overboard in either direction.
  • Thwags
    Belmont or bust!
    By far the best iIsles podcast out there. Truly awesome duo between Staple and AJ. We’re lucky to have them covering our Isles
  • cava2208
    WAY Too many commercials
    Good podcast but there is almost as many ads as a 1010 WINS newscast. Understand the need to monetize somewhat but this seems more than excessive for a 30” podcast
  • IN RAINBOWS!!!
    Islanders - wonderful - objective
    The Islanders are so blessed to have as objective and comprehensive a reporter as Arthur on their beat. I look forward to this podcast weekly. The thing I love best is, once again, Arthur and AJ’s objective view of what’s happening and what happens inside the locker room in the front office and we as fans often cannot appreciate. My favorite segments involve reading the minds of ravenous, and sometimes unbalanced fellow islander fans and their theories. One of the best things about Lou is that no one really knows. But objective speculation and commentary on this podcast is just the best. Keep rolling. Thank you.

    Print Journalists Taking a Crack at Podcasts
    I’ve read Arthur for several years now, and while I enjoy his work on the written page,I never really linked him with having a great podcast-style personality. So when some of the print guys started announcing they were having podcasts, I was a little skeptical. However I have been very impressed with Arthur’s hosting abilities, and the consistency he brings to adeptly link his writing and podcast work. He knows this team well, and offers the most color in a small Islanders front line media that mostly plays it down the middle. He brings some of his quirks, ie/throwing cold water on things that fans might get excited about, but it’s an enjoyable podcast and one of two or three Isles podcasts I seek out each week. AJ Mlezko is also a pro. She offers unique perspective, and I like the fact that she isn’t afraid to take her own stand on various topics as some cohosts are sometimes hesitant to do (thinking of a certain Sirius XM duo). I like this teaming a lot and looking forward to more of their podcasts.

    A must listen for Isles fans
    Wow - Staple’s podcast was a five star affair before AJ was there. Now, it’s a six star must listen. What a great, great combo. Isles fans are lucky to have this.
  • H. Lerner
    Must listen podcast
    Staple and AJ are a great duo. If you’re an Isles fan you need to tune in. Even if not, it’s a great hockey podcast in general!
  • Daniel Aeche
    Essential Listening For Isles Fans
    Arthur is awesome. Insightful and analytical with a great tone. He lines up some fantastic guests but the solo shows are just as good.
  • sandranian
    Ferraro Interview was Stellar

    If you want a constant negative spin on islanders news, you’re at the right place.

    Isles fans unite!
    Great stuff. I’m sure I speak for a lot of us when I say we can’t get enough of our team. Thanks and keep up the good work!
