Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 452 ratings
  • 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

  • “The, Uh, Program”

    Soren absolutely knows his stuff. He’s smart, well prepared, and insightful. Great guests too. It’s his delivery that is often painful. He can come across as arrogant, angry, and defensive. And, in his apparent attempts not to sound “too slick,” he spends most of the time dropping “uh” randomly between words. It’s nutty. It isn’t like he doesn’t know what to say next or is buying time. “The, uh, Program” is a common one. “The, uh, Chiefs.” “The, uh, Royals.” “The, uh, game.” I have honestly ne... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

H2 Matt Derrick, Henry Greenstein
Q: What do we think about the wide receiver position at number 9?
The Chiefs need to assess whether any available receivers warrant that pick, especially given the injury records of the top talent.
H2 Matt Derrick, Henry Greenstein
Q: Is there any real upside to Felix Anudike Uzzama?
His potential may not have been shown due to lack of playtime, but he can be more effective in a different environment.
H2 Matt Derrick, Henry Greenstein
Q: If you were the one making the pick, who does fit this Chiefs' offense the best of those three?
Breece Hall likely fits best due to his production, but cost may lead the Chiefs to choose Travis ETN instead.
H1 Monologue, NFL Report Cards a thing of the Past
Q: Why don't college basketball coaches recruit more local players?
International and higher caliber talent is more common in basketball, while local players may not provide the same level of competition currently offered by international prospects.
H1 Monologue, Are the Seahawks the Blueprint?
Q: Do you think that we will ever see the Patrick Mahomes that was running to the right side of the field and threw the ball all the way across to the opposite side of the field?
While Mahomes can still make impressive throws, his physical skills may have diminished, and it remains to be seen whether he can replicate those spectacular plays consistently.
