  • 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 Monologue, Eli Hoff
Q: What are the financial implications of Missouri's stadium renovations for the football program?
The guests discuss that the North End Zone renovation could unlock year-round revenue through event spaces and premium areas, potentially helping pay off the renovations and fund future facility needs, though hard projected returns were not publicly shared.
H4 N2K, David Lawrence, The Kicker
Q: What's the main factor you think could determine Kansas' success this season?
The offensive line's cohesion and the performance of the quarterbacks in making smart reads while protecting the ball, combined with a strong defensive front and depth at the skill positions, will largely determine how well Kansas competes in the Big 12.
H1 Monologue, John Kurtz
Q: John, how are you doing today?
Doing great, Leabo. How are you, my friend?
H1 Monologue, Jordan Foote
Q: What players would you like to see in this Chiefs-Rams game besides Mahomes?
Foote highlights Jeffrey Bass, Drew Tranquil's status, Cyrus Allen, Kaleel Benson, and the rookie group including Peter Woods as players who could define the game's outcome or development.
H4 N2K, Sam Khan Jr., The Kicker
Q: What role does NIL money play in these rankings and the perceived value of players?
NIL pay is real but highly opaque and inconsistent; we can discuss ranges and likely pay, but there is no centralized public data, so there will always be outliers and variability based on boosters, program budgets, and perceived market demand.
