    Thank you for supporting MN in your latest podcast. As a former long time resident of the twin cities and having to witness and support friends and family from afar, I appreciate the spotlight you have shined to the current atrocities being committed against this amazing community and options to support them in this time of need. Thank you for sharing your humanity with us all.

  • Everyone watches women’s sports

    I normally love this podcast but in the world champs so far episode I didn’t love the surprise that someone would be excited about women’s steeplechase. Please don’t put women down.

    I know you do support women’s sports and feature them prominently on this show, but remember men, women, girls and boys could listen at any time.

  • Relay

    I always enjoy this podcast because there are so many voices with such knowledge about the sport of running and track and field. I also love that they have different perspectives at times. They just don’t always agree 100% with each other and so that makes it very interesting to see everybody’s point of view. Keep doing what you’re doing relay. I enjoy you each week.
