Kreckman & Lindahl

Kreckman & Lindahl brings a Denver sports talk program from Altitude Sports Radio 92.5 to podcast form, and it keeps the shape of radio. Each episode is a single broadcast hour. The title gives the date and hour number, then lists that hour's topics and guests. The show is named for Nate Kreckman and Andy Lindahl. In the April 2026 hours sampled here, the Nuggets and Avalanche playoff series take over, with titles listing playoff comparisons, series predictions and a first-round-series fantasy draft. The Nuggets talk goes past scores. One discussion turns on David Adelman's clinical, tactics-first approach to the series. It weighs that approach against a past Game 7 loss after leading by 20 and asks whether the emotion should come from the players and the home crowd instead. Adelman's own comments to the media come up as well, including his view that a week off felt just right and his warning that good preparation guarantees nothing in Game 1. Jason Kosmicki, introduced on air as the voice of the Nuggets, is asked how Adelman handled an off-kilter season, and the answer calls it an emotional roller coaster. Stormy Buonantony of ESPN comes on to talk about the Avalanche and the Kings. Jeff Legwold, Conor McGahey and Lucas Herrington are also named as guests in episode titles. The show also goes beyond the playoff bracket. There is Broncos draft talk, with the team not picking until the second round. There is Rockies talk about how the ball behaves for pitchers at Coors Field compared with the road, and some hope that Dolander's triple digits play at altitude. College basketball gets a turn, from NIL money at Illinois to Michael Malone taking the UNC job, a move the conversation expects to work out. A comparison to Belichick going to Carolina gets waved off. Other names drift in too: Mike Vrabel comes up, and one title reads 'Dianna Russini helps a man and dog escape a crashed car'. Two labels recur in the titles, 'Cross talk' and 'High Five', and the second is a run through five of the day's biggest stories. Some hours start with a quick number, such as the Nuggets leading the NBA in three-point shooting at a franchise-best rate. The tone stays loose. Adelman's name gets tried out as 'El Dave-erino', and news of a Nuggets-Pacers game in Mexico City turns into a riff on John Elway's arm and a joke about learning enough Spanish to call the game. Sponsor reads and playoff ticket giveaways are left in. For a first listen, the 4/17/26 Hour 2 pairs Nuggets playoff talk with Kosmicki's view of the season, while any 'High Five' hour gives a rundown of the day's stories.
