“I’m giving the podcast five stars BUT more on women’s sports, please. The latest episode has 20+ minutes on Gopher basketball but nothing on the much more interesting women’s team? Definite room for improvement.”

“I thought Michael would struggle to find 30 minutes of engaging content every weekday but I am delighted to have been proven wrong. I am particularly happy when he talks with Chris Hine, Chip Scoggins—and above all—Patrick Reusse. A talented interviewer, he gets the most out of his guests while...”Read full review »

“Love the show, but Reusse gets on my nerves. He says “unbelievable“ way too often. I don’t like “homerism”, but Reusse gets a perverse pleasure over anything negative the local teams do. And his love affair with Tom Kelly and “Thibs”, what kind of journalist call a head coach “Thibs”? And...”Read full review »

“Main host Michael Rand is good, presents generally compelling information and runs the program well. Co-hosts are more variable. Nothing personal, but I also find Reusse unlistenable and can’t really think of any non-geriatric demo that would consider him a value-add.”

“Really enjoy his participation as been a long time reader of his material. Can be a bit sarcastic but it is all humorous. Could get a better phone connections with his appearances.”

“One of my favorite podcasts Tuesday-Friday but just can’t stand listening to Reusse do his “old man shouts at cloud” routine every Monday.”

“This is a well-produced show. What makes me lose interest is MN sports and their fans. Politically correct + “nice” + passive aggressive is hard to take after a while. And Minnesota teams choke in big games more than any other, I swear. Oh, and why so much coverage of the T-wolves? In summary,...”Read full review »

“I seriously don’t understand Michael’s obsession with the Timberwolves, the NBA’s most impotent franchise in the past 30 years, at the expense of airtime talking about the Wild.
This discrepancy was most stark during the 2022 playoffs, when he devoted entire episodes breaking down and...”Read full review »

“Great podcast Tuesday through Friday. Rand is a wonderful host. Great insights and opinions on local and national sports scene. He does a really nice job of balancing both local and national angles and is always interesting.
The only downside of the podcast is local columnist Patrick Reusse as...”Read full review »

“Have been listening since the start and it’s now one of my daily faves. As others have said, it’s short and sweet but still substantive. I feel like I get a comprehensive look at the local sports scene, along with comments on relevant national happenings, with well-informed deep dives into a...”Read full review »

“I like it, but the gangsta rap bumper music doesn’t match the show at all. It gets me in the mood to start hearing somebody spitting about dog fighting or killing firefighters or something then all of a sudden Rand’s talking about Gopher football.”

“If you are a fan of any Minnesota sport, check this out. He hits them all. Great interviews to take it to the next level with experts and insiders. Perfect length, no filler. Just pure, well delivered sports news and insight for the championship deprived Minnesota faithful. Good stuff.”

“Excellent podcast. What I like most is that the host gets to the point quickly. The show moves at a good pace, makes his points, then moves to the next topic. Minnesota has needed a podcast to cover Minnesota sports, in general, like this for a long time. Keep up the excellent work!”

“This is such a great addition to the Minnesota sports podcast landscape. I love pods that focus on a specific MN team or sport, but it will be nice to have one that covers them all - through short snippets and quick talkers. I love that it's daily too. Rand is the perfect host for this too -...”Read full review »
