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!

Simply the most balanced Vikings coverage out there. Great mix of guest, in season/off season content, and data based approach. As 43 year old fan who has moved outside MN, this is my daily way of staying connected to the team.
