Radio and other podcasts Nate recently appeared (March-April 2018)

With the end of the season, a coaching change and multiple Frozen Fours, I've been in busy mode lately. One side effect is not having the time to post every little thing to the site. There was a lot of content between articles, radio appearances, podcasts and more.

Now that the season is over, I'm trying to catch up. In lieu of posting every little thing as its own, I thought it might be best if I put all the radio and podcast appearances together in one post.

Here it is:

Radio: WCCO Sports Sunday with Steve Thomson (February 25, 2018)

Speaking from a Wawa parking lot on my way back from State College, Steve Thomson of WCCO had me on the radio last Sunday.

There was a lot to discuss between the Minnesota men being swept by Penn State and the Gopher women sweeping St. Cloud State to advance to this weekend's WCHA Final Faceoff. Topics include what went wrong at Pegula Arena, the odd year for blue blood programs, Minnesota's NCAA chances after being swept (Spoiler: They're fantastic), whether I'm going back to PA next weekend (Spoiler: I'm not), the WCHA Final Faceoff and where the Gopher women sit in the NCAA Tournament picture.
