  • My First Concert

    “My First Concert” is a great show part of the Talk North Network. Have listen to all of them. After listening to Paul Charchian. We need a list of all the Bands Paul talked about. We need the Band list over playlist. Need that too on “Chin Music” when they talk about songs or Bands. Like listening on my Runs or Walks.

    I love the show with LaVelle and Roy. Get rid of the music talk. That’s not why we listen to podcast.

  • Race

    John and Jim bring race into many stories. Why does John even have to mention race with a African American qualifying for the state speech event. She is a gifted speech participant it doesn’t need to be qualified with her race. Her skin color has nothing to do with her accomplishment. Every time you mention race you cause more division.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeff Diamond’s Vikings & NFL Insider- Not Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks
Q: What does Nolan Teasley's arrival mean for the 53-man roster decisions and front office dynamics?
Teasley is expected to have a strong influence on roster construction with input from the head coach and other executives, potentially accelerating some personnel moves and leveraging Seattle connections for additional analytics and evaluation support.
Jeff Diamond’s Vikings & NFL Insider- Not Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks
Q: What are you seeing at mini-camp and OTAs that might indicate how training camp will unfold?
Mini-camp and OTAs are a learning period; there are hints about rookies like Caleb Banks and the overall depth, but the pads and full training camp will reveal more, especially on the defensive line and edge rush positions.
The Jon Krawczynski Show - LaMelo and the King!
Q: How do you think the trade to Minnesota will affect his mindset and performance?
The move could provide him with a healthier environment to focus on basketball and growth, reduce the spotlight threat, and allow him to contribute as a complementary player on a winning team, which could unlock a more mature, consistent version of his game.
The Jon Krawczynski Show - LaMelo and the King!
Q: What do you think fans will hear from him when he arrives in Minnesota?
He comes across as an engaged, reflective, and coachable person who is not just the flashy image people see but someone who cares deeply about the craft, the locker room, and the team's success. He's likely to speak with maturity and a broader perspective once he's in a setting that supports him.
Minnesota Bound - Local Farmers and Cooking
Q: How do you balance a busy lifestyle with cooking healthy meals at home?
Elizabeth explains she uses strategies like fridge-foraging, sourcing locally, and preparing simple, multi-purpose meals to cut down on waste and time, while still emphasizing whole foods and seasonality.
