If you love what you hear, mark your calendar for October 7th, the launch of the Erik Ritland isn't so Bad podcast. 

In this very first Sports Ramble segment of Midweek Minnesota, host Erik Ritland talks with Twins and Wild analyst Peter Ripka. Their fascinating, wide-ranging discussion features: 

• More KFAN bits than a KFAN show

• An apology segment to a local sports team

• 2019 Twins talk: rotation, bullpen, Buxton and Sano, home runs and marketing campaigns, get to know 'em

• Controversial Twins playoff prediction

• Vikings 2019 outlook: Cousins, Cook, defense, NFC North and Vikings predictions

• New Wild GM talk

...and more!
