    Missing MNUFC updates
    If the other professional sports teams are being reported on…why leave out MNUFC? Just had another W this weekend against STL.
  • PatrolTracy
    “Sure” “ya”
    The young reporters start every answer to a question with “Sure” and “Ya”. Very annoying and distracting. They all need to work on this to sound professional.
  • Harsh But Fair
    Needs lots of work
    Repeats far too many stories. This is not the radio; we subscribe and listen to every episode. Weather is a waste of time, too, since it tries to cover the entire state, making it generic to the point of useless. Sports are also not useful news; leave that kind of garbage to the people who also “report” lottery numbers and horoscopes. Update: Now they’re including episodes of another podcast in this feed, meaning you either are getting even *more* repeats if you like that podcast, too, or unwanted stories here if you don’t. MPR needs to hire someone who understands what podcasts are, and I’m very close to unsubscribing completely. Last Update: Finally unsubscribed after they wasted my time with a “viral prom-posal” story. I’m looking for news, not increasingly encroaching vapid social media content.

    Mn today
    I love these, but in the last couple weeks, I frequently am not noble to download them. They say episode unavailable eg I can’t listen to today or my yesterday’s afternoon episode. I am able to download npr podcast, so seems to be a mn today issue.

    Politically slanted
    Walz promoting podcast. Slanted coverage. It usually gets the weather right.

    Expat Minnesotan Keeping up on the news
    I am Glad that MPR puts out this podcast so I can keep up on events in Minnesota, even though I live in Singapore. Just turning on the radio isn’t an option for me! I hope this podcast will continue regularly even after COVID-19 is a thing of the past.
