Sportsnet hockey insider Elliotte Friedman breaks silence and reveals what's next for the popular 32 Thoughts podcast now that Jeff Marek is gone.
With the departure of Jeff Marek from Sportsnet, the future of the popular podcast "32 Thoughts" seemed uncertain. However, Elliotte Friedman has addressed these concerns.
Yesterday, news broke that Jeff Marek, a longtime Sportsnet contributor and on-air personality, had left the company. This left many wondering about the fate of "32 Thoughts," the podcast Marek co-hosted with Friedman.
Friedman reassured fans through a post on his X account, paying tribute to his former colleague and co-host. He confirmed that "32 Thoughts: The Podcast" will continue.
When we started the podcast, Sportsnet asked if I wanted to do it myself or have a co-host. I liked the idea of playing off someone; @moorescottmoore suggested Jeff Marek.
It was brilliant. Jeff has his loopy suggestions, but they made for fun debates and great moments.
Life throws curveballs at you. I will miss being his teammate, and thank him for being a tremendous co-pilot on the start to our 32 Thoughts podcasting voyage � which will continue.
Although the exact format of the podcast going forward is still unknown, fans can be reassured that Friedman will carry on with the project.
