Olga Koch and Catherine Bohart launch a Heated Rivalry podcast

Daily analysis of the show about gay hockey players

Olga Koch and Catherine Bohart have started a daily podcast about the TV series Heated Rivalry.

The Netflix show about gay hockey players has only run for six episodes, but the comedians say it  has ‘completely taken over their lives’.

Their podcast, Tonsil Hockey. will feature episode analysis, fan reactions and commentary on the show from the perspective of two bisexual women who admit they've ‘lost all sense of themselves’ since discovering it.

‘We’ve tried talking to our friends about Heated Rivalry and they've reached the end of their tether, they've asked us to stop,’ said Koch. ‘With this podcast, we're hoping to find a community of equally unhinged people to share in this obsession with.’

Bohart added: ‘It has lit an actual fire under us. Creatively, emotionally, spiritually. We're hornier, we're louder, and we have a lot of thoughts about hockey, gay male sex, and bums.’

The podcast is produced by Audio Always,  the company behind Help I Sexted My Boss, The Girls Bathroom and Get A Grip.
