Our Editor's Take

Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd is one of Minnesota's more popular sports talk programs. The two hosts have long been stalwarts of their local sports reporting scene. This podcast sees the duo bring their fun commentary style into online radio.

Phil Mackey and Judd Zulgud host the Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd podcast. Mackey has been a sports reporter since 2005. He began his career as a producer and on-air host for iHeartRadio. Mackey has been covering sports for SKOR North since 2010. He is also a writer and columnist whose work has been a part of Yahoo! and ESPN. Zulgad is a writer and podcaster who is a former Minnesota Vikings beat reporter. He reported on the team from 2005 to 2010 for the Star Tribune. Zulgud is an ardent hockey fan who spent time writing about the Minnesota Wild.

Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd has a nice mix of podcast hosts. Mackey is more jovial, while Judd comes up with some wild opinions. He believes that MLB baseballs are juiced. He also suggested that Minnesota Twins fans root for the Detroit Tigers. Some of his opinions are exaggerated for comedic effect, though.

One of the better things about Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd is how many sports it covers. They report on stories from the Minnesota NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, and WNBA teams. It is impressive that the podcast manages to be so comprehensive, with so many sports to report on. Each sport receives its own episode on the podcast. This makes it easier for listeners to find what they are looking for.

The hosts of Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd manage to be knowledgeable about all of these sports. They are also having fun making this podcast, which helps to make it more fun for listeners. Sometimes Judd and Mackey talk about non-sports topics, like movies. They watched Mel Gibson's What Women Want and explained why the flick was dated.

New episodes of Minnesota Sports with Mackey & Judd drop from Monday to Friday each week. Fans of this podcast may also like Purple Daily - A Minnesota Vikings Podcast. That's the hosts' NFL podcast. Judd also hosts Judd's Hockey Show - a Minnesota Wild podcast.
