Episodes Notes

"The Rider Preview, with Piffles Podcast," is the twenty-seventh installment of the Lang & LeBlanc Podcast — a part of the Saskatchewan Podcast Network. It's the seventh in the second season of the program.

This week, Alex Dormuth of the Piffles Podcast joins the show to chat with Avery and Brady about the upcoming CFL season, a potential XFL merger, where his Rider fandom began and an early look at the 2021 Saskatchewan Roughriders. 

Avery's back from his vacation, with both hosts returning for the first time in July.

The show also includes an extended Riders corner, Brady's new weekly segment, Finding the Best Pizza in Saskatoon and Avery's Waskesiu experience (which includes a bear).
