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.
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!
I was excited to listen to another podcast featuring Jon Gaskins. I wasn’t disappointed. I love Nobody’s Listening. Both podcasts make me laugh and I love the content. Lifelong Jackrabbit fan and can’t get enough Rabbits. Great interview guests as well. Keep the impressions coming!!!
Go Woonsocket!!

A regional, bar‑side sports talk show that blends lively banter with in‑depth discussion of local college teams and Midwest athletics. Episodes commonly cover Summit League dynamics, SDSU/USD rivalries, college basketball tournaments, and occasional NFL/college football chatter, all interwoven with personal anecdotes and behind‑the‑scenes media perspectives. Notable strengths include long‑running local sports coverage, candid guest insights from coaches and broadcasters, and a distinctive, informal vibe that makes complex realignment and NIL topics feel approachable. This mix makes it attractive to listeners who crave state‑level sports storytelling, insider commentary, and a sense of community around Dakotas and nearby markets.
