Clips - Freelance work - Cold Omaha/Zone Coverage - Podcasts


I joined the Cold Omaha/Zone Coverage team in January 2017 as a writer covering the Minnesota Wild. In the spring, we started meeting on a weekly basis to touch base and record a staff podcast to talk about all Minnesota sports and the latest sports news of the week. Below are some of the podcasts from Cold Omaha. Give them a listen to hear our thoughts and personalities shine through. 

The staff podcast features a different cast of characters from Zone Coverage that will touch on a variety of topics throughout the Minnesota sports landscape.
