PRESS PLAY
High and Wide Radio is Philadelphia Flyers coverage with the volume turned toward the stands. It reacts fast. The show’s recent run captures the full fan cycle: a playoff spot secured with a shootout win over Carolina, a loss to Detroit that still looked encouraging, a Columbus stumble that raised bigger questions, and deadline rumors that pulled the roster apart piece by piece. Jim Iacobone is repeatedly presented as the host, with Jack Smith brought in as the familiar on-air counterpart. Their rhythm is conversational and loose, more live hangout than buttoned-up panel. The show often begins with YouTube subscriptions, like goals, platform notes, and chat callouts, which makes the audience feel present before the hockey argument even starts. Once it gets going, the focus narrows hard on Flyers consequences. Briere’s trade-deadline work becomes something to grade. Rasmus Ristelainen rumors are weighed against wider roster movement. Tyson Foerster’s injury is treated as a real lineup problem, not a passing note. Alex Bump’s call-up opens a prospect conversation. Goaltending gets pointed attention, especially when backup options and poor save percentages enter the discussion. Training camp brings another mode, with rookie games, Carter Hart, Ivan Fedotov, and press conference takeaways folded into expectations for the season ahead. The tone can be impatient, funny, blunt, and occasionally messy. That mess is part of the appeal. High and Wide Radio is for Flyers fans who want the nervous system of the fan base preserved in real time: hopeful after wins, annoyed by bad bounces, skeptical of management, and still ready to believe when the standings leave the door open.
Made for: For Philadelphia Flyers fans who follow the week-to-week stakes closely and want reaction that sounds like it came from inside the fan base. It especially fits listeners who care about roster moves, prospects, goaltending, and playoff odds.
What sets it apart: The show blends granular Flyers topics with a live-channel atmosphere, so roster analysis sits beside chat energy, platform chatter, and immediate emotional reaction. It feels less like detached coverage and more like a running Flyers temperature check.
