    Sam Gaier | Ronin Fitness

    Thank you for listening to and supporting The Porrada Podcast. This was a great conversation that's been brewing in the DMs and after rolls between Morgan and Sam; what is a fight? What's with all these rule sets? How do they use Ecological training so far? Etc. etc., we were having a good time so it's a little frenetic, but do stick with it and ejoy the pearls of wisdom and the... uh, hot takes.

    Coach Eric Swenson | Wayzata Wrestling

    Thank you for listening to and supporting The Porrada Podcast. This time I talked with Eric Swenson, the long-time head coach of the wrestling program at Wayzata High School in Plymouth, MN. We covered his come-up with wrestling, a starkly different era, his coaching and program philosophy, his take on the growth of girl's and women's, and he makes a flawless pitch for why you and your kids should wrestle.

    Jess and CJ Hays | Winning and Losing Fights | MMA | Muy Thai

    Thank you for listening to and supporting The Porrada Podcast. This time I sit down Jess and CJ Hays a couple weeks after they each lost a fight... and I ask them directly about how that feels. Right off the bat. Awkward? Probably. Insightful? Definitely. Shout out to Coach Ben Locken for helping me harness their power.

A scholar & a gentleman

Great podcast with phenomenal people! Listen and learn about what makes martial artists tick. Plus, you’ll hear plenty of personal tales of their successes and failures along the way.

Great Host

Matt does a great job of giving his guests room to tell their stories. I think that’s a lost art in the world of podcasting. Organic conversation is always a treat. Matt does that with his podcast.
