Customer Reviews
Good but please improve audio quality
I hope you guys read your reviews. This is a great pod: good content, not too long, just what the average Vikings fan needs to be informed about the team.
BUT please please please invest in some better audio equipment! It’s really not that hard! It’s 2022. the Strib should cover the cost for some decent USB mics. Just ask other podcast platforms like the Ringer what they use. This is the easiest way to improve the quality of this pod. Please.
Matthew TANK Coller Please NO
Andrew and Ben,
Love the way you guys cover the Vikings but you ruin the show when TANK comes on. Hate to see it. Hope you keep it to a minimum. We don’t want to follow his advise. Example, he says TJ is not a game changing player the 10 min. Later, he says TJ is a top 5 tight end. He may know a lot of numbers but he is not a good reporter and a very bad analyst.
Skol
They do seem to have good sources. Their own insight leaves a lot to be desired.
