Gashburn · Aug 2026

Thank you Matthew Coller and routine guests! You have taught me so much since I started listening a few years ago. I’ve always been a Vikings fan, but this show has elevated my fandom and enjoyment for watching our team. I have more understanding, excitement, and confidence when it comes to talking about the Vikings. Some of us our optimists too, even after tough losses or rocky seasons!
