Portfolio - Podcasts
In addition to all my writing, I've also hopped on a few sports podcasts as a guest to offer my insights on Wild hockey, Twins baseball and even some auto racing hot takes. I first got my feet wet with the Wild Xtra team with the 5 Minute Major and Giles & the Goalie podcasts.
A couple of those guys started their own MN Sports Fans Unfiltered podcast via the Talk North Podcast Network, a network run by the Star Tribune's Jim Souhan. If you're looking for some good sports-fan thoughts, please subscribe or check out their podcasts.
