Jessi Pierce’s podcast co-host shared a heartbreaking post about their weekly recording session two days after the NHL reporter’s death.

“Every Monday me and Jessi would sit down to record the Bardown Beauties Podcast. This morning my phone buzzed with a notification that the record is coming up, except today it’s not,” Kirsten Kull, who hosted the hockey podcast with Pierce, wrote on X on Monday, March 23,

Kull continued, “Logging onto my computer, sitting at my desk with my microphone where we recorded was another hard thing I haven’t yet done but have to continue to do.”

The podcaster and Minnesota Wild in-game host said she knows she and “so many others are feeling this” two days after Pierce’s death, adding, “it’s cruel that the world doesn’t stop when terrible things happen even when we desperately beg for it to.”

“The world keeps moving even when we feel like we can’t,” Kull continued. “All we can do is continue to try to move forward the best we can. My heart hurts for everyone today just doing their best to make it through the day.”

Kull said, “But for as long as I can, I’ll keep my Monday podcast record notifications on because it reminds me of how much special time I was able to share with Jessi weekly.”

Kull also spoke about her late co-host, who died with sons Hudson, 8, and Cayden, 6, and daughter Avery, 4, in a house fire on March 21, during an interview on SKOR North published March 23. Kull recalled Pierce being a devoted mother who “made every moment special,” and added that the reporter’s kids “knew that they were loved.” Pierce was found dead in her Minnesota home alongside her children and their dog after neighbors noticed smoke coming from the roof of the home. Firefighters responded to a residential structure fire at a single-family home located on the 2100 block of Richard Avenue at around 5:25 a.m. local time, according to the White Bear Lake Fire Department. Pierce’s husband and the children’s father, Mike Hinrichs, was away on a work trip at the time.

Arson was ruled out as a cause of the fire on March 23, according to an update from the fire department.

The fire department added that the cause of the fire is still under investigation and that it was dedicating “all possible resources” to the investigation.
