The Turf District is a new podcast that's really an old podcast.
Like the Edmonton Football Team that it covers, the long-running CFL show underwent a rebrand last year. The new name, a wry commentary on the Ice District around Rogers Place, stands whether the team decides to call itself the Elks, the Evergolds, or any of the other choices under consideration.
The podcast's lineup remains the same, with hosts Andrew, SuperFan Mike, and Commissioner K sharing their love for the team, for the game, and for the CFL fan community. The previous incarnation of the show, which ran from 2015 to 2020, had a lot of success attracting players, coaches, trainers, and sports media to be guests, and it seems the new incarnation is the same — Episode 1 of The Turf District features an interview with Jaime Elizondo, the team's new head coach.
It's not yet clear when they'll have games to talk about. The pandemic cancelled last year's season; the league is hoping to resume in June.
