When Sportsnet released Jeff Marek earlier this summer, it surprised a lot of people and left Elliotte Friedman unsure about the future of his '32 Thoughts' podcast; but now the network confirms he'll have a new co-host familiar to many.
Bukauskas is familiar to many who watch the network as he has been the rinkside reporter, often working with the Maple Leafs and should provide a great insight into the show given his experience and his closeness and proximity to players, coaches and personnel throughout his career.
The network also posted a little Q&A article with Bukauskas which throws him on the other side of the microphone; mainly to introduce him to people who may be either unfamiliar with his name and face, or don't know the story of how a shy boy from Campbell River came to such prominence. It's a fascinating read and you can find the entirety of the interview below.
