  • Love the local

    Love the quick local news. I don’t love the sign off—“stay safe” implies that we’re all in some sort of grave danger or something. We’re not. Go for something else.

  • Make sure and fact check, since MPR doesn’t.

    For years they have provided a very clearly biased news but it used to at least be worth it to get basic topics. Now, they have gone full biased and hide important news topics for Minnesota and it’s a huge bummer. What a great resource going to waste. After them completely ignoring what’s going on in Minnesota for the last week, I’m saying goodbye after half a decade.

  • Inconsistent publishing times

    I really appreciate this podcast and the local news it offers. I wish that it was published consistently in the morning so that I could listen to it. It often isn’t available when I want it. When it’s there, the reporting is great.

  • 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.

  • “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.
