  • 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!
