Customer Reviews
Audio Quality Needs Improving
The content of the podcast is worth listening too, but the audio quality is terrible. Each contributer needs to have their won mic
Worth trying - episodes too short though
Sone of the best commentary you’ll get about MN from people who are actually in MN. But 15 minutes might as well be 15 seconds- seriously the episodes are so short. They need to kick it out to 45-60 min and had a couple topics per episode
1-dimensional, unsophisticated, superficial
Where’s the skepticism? the in-depth analysis? I was told these hosts were journalists, which usually implies some command of the issues. Instead, we get “wow gee whiz gosh ain’t that surprising huh weird what’ll happen next I don’t know oh well guess we’ll have to wait and see.” Two stars for effort, Star Tribune, but the product is about as lousy as the rest of the paper.
