Best episodes of High Phidelity

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Episode 31: The One with the Philly Athlete DraftJun 4, 2021

A blunt Philly sports discussion that turns trade speculation into roster and contract math.

The episode opens with high school memories and a serious arm injury, then settles into Frank Mosaicato, the East Catholic High senior committed to UConn, after four straight no-hitters and a pile of strikeouts.

Episode 25: The One with the NHL Draft HistoryMar 13, 2021

A wrestling-gym memory and a draft fix keep the point simple: big moments often shrink up close.

The episode centers on a tidy reality check: what once felt huge and what was actually going on. It opens with WWF filming four Raw episodes in a Pennsylvania high school gym, then moves into a draft-order debate built around a bottom-four round robin.

Episode 3: 2020 Eagles Schedule Preview + Possible Eagles Free Agent TargetsMay 18, 2020

Philadelphia sports talk that turns Flyers memories and Clowney debate into a sharp back-and-forth.

The episode starts with a Philadelphia Flyers memory before settling into a familiar Philly sports argument about how quickly fans swing between doom and championship talk.

Episode 2: What if the Flyers won the Stanley Cup in 2010?May 7, 2020

A loose Flyers playoff conversation that turns bracket chaos into a very Philly argument.

The episode opens with Bud and John trading thanks for early listeners and a bit of personal back-and-forth before settling into hockey after 55 days away from the game.
