Customer Reviews
Good but please improve audio quality
I hope you guys read your reviews. This is a great pod: good content, not too long, just what the average Vikings fan needs to be informed about the team.
BUT please please please invest in some better audio equipment! It’s really not that hard! It’s 2022. the Strib should cover the cost for some decent USB mics. Just ask other podcast platforms like the Ringer what they use. This is the easiest way to improve the quality of this pod. Please.
Very good pod
I like to listen to you guys. Your angle is getting a little SKORNorth-like though. Always being a bit contrarian about the success they are having. I understand you have to be realistic, but it’s pretty much every week you guys are on a “yeah they are winning, but….” Narrative. I’ll have to stop listening if this continues constantly.

Ben and Andrew are the best! Could listen to them all day long. However, please please please no more Jim Souhan. He is unbearable. If I wanted to listen to how much smarter he is than everyone else, I’d just listen to his Talk North podcasts.
