  • Grateful

    Living in the Twin Cities and there is no source that covers sports across the state from high school to NCAA to Pro - South Dakotans should feel fortunate to have John putting out this daily content. Go Jacks.

  • Pleasant Surprise that has moved to the top of my podcast rotation

    Recently moved up to SF in July and I had only known of John Gaskins as Harry Canary (great bobblehead) and I recently learned he does podcasts too on top of Dakota News Now! As an Iowan we had a couple radio shows/podcasts that covered area sports at all levels and I am very glad I found this one. I consume both Happy Hour and Nobody’s Listening Anyway now. Thank you John, keep up the good work, see ya at The Birdcage!
