  • Low quality

    Petro is nearly intolerable with his combination of arrogance and ignorance. He is regularly rude to callers and even to guests who challenge him, which is the mark of a small, diffident person. He regularly misunderstand and misrepresents a person’s argument to make it sound weaker and he seems incapable of understanding basic reasoning and logic.

  • The Place for Chiefs News.

    I listen to The Program to get the Chiefs news. I have listened to Soren Petro for quite sometime. I like his perspective on things. He is well thought out on his opinions and I like the selection of guests on his show. The only segments I skip are the “Stump the Chumps” segments since I’m not a real fan of sports trivia. I like the rest of The Program content.

  • Best in Kansas City

    No one does a better job of staying impartial to local schools! Soren and Kurtis are a fantastic listen, and the definition of consistency. Great job to the entire crew that puts the show together!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

H1 National Championship Reaction, Rapha Wicky
Q: How do transfer portals and payroll dynamics influence team-building in modern college sports, in your view?

H1 National Championship Reaction, Rapha Wicky
Q: What stood out to you most about the championship game, and how would you summarize the takeaway for the season?
The guests emphasized that Michigan's size, interior play, and ability to get to the line defined their victory, while also acknowledging UConn's strong defense; the takeaway is that a dominant, balanced effort across both ends of the floor was what separated the champion this year.
H3 The Two-Minute Drill. Keaton Wagler
Q: How has playing with teammates from diverse backgrounds impacted your game?

H3 The Two-Minute Drill. Keaton Wagler
Q: What was the recruiting process like for you and how much did Illinois influence your decision?
Keaton Wagler explains Illinois offered a clear path and a genuine relationship with coach Brad Underwood, which solidified his choice despite interest from other schools.
H4: Need to Know, Seth Keysor, The Kicker
Q: What would a realistic path be for the Chiefs in the draft—up, down, or stay at nine—given the edge and offensive line/receiver needs?
A practical approach might be to trade down to accumulate more picks, or trade up depending on who falls; the key is balancing blue-chip talent with solid depth at multiple spots to keep the roster competitive.
