  • Great interviews

    Chad is a brilliant interviewer and asks his guests questions that they’ve never been asked before. He engages his guests in a way that other hosts aren’t able to replicate due to his depth of knowledge on a subject. I love that he talks about serious topics with incredible vulnerability and then can pivot to hard hitting news with in depth knowledge and then have some funny banter on silly topics that bring levity to today’s world. I highly recommend his show.

  • Pretty good

    I've been listening to Chad for 30 years and am a fan. The show simply isn’t quite as good as it used to be. He’s fallen into the trap of only talking about negative stories and tolics and has started to veer a little too far into the conservative talk radio sphere for my taste. I still like him, though.

OFFBITES: Ancient teeth, Nic Cage's Malibu sinkhole and 'Paul is Dead' revisited
Q: When you're going down that rabbit hole, what surprised you about the Beatles story overall?

Chad Greenway shares what he expects from the Vikings as they open the season Sunday against Green Bay
Q: Chad, how big of a difference was it when you left college and started playing in the NFL?

Chad Greenway shares what he expects from the Vikings as they open the season Sunday against Green Bay
Q: What are your thoughts about where we're headed with JJ. McCarthy and what might be in store for him?
JJ is a young, talented quarterback with limited starts; the NFL is a win-now league, so there's a wait-and-see approach on his development and fit within the system, especially with a veteran backup like Carson Wentz behind him.
Cory Provus talks about jumping back to radio this week and an incredible season for Byron Buxton.
Q: How did this opportunity for Cory Provus to return to radio come about?
Provus explains it started in the off-season when his broadcasting boss discussed Chris's time off and they decided to bring Dan Gladden along. He expressed a strong desire to return to radio with Danny given their long history together and the chance to work in the format they love.
