Episode Details

After 36 years chronicling Minnesota sports, Jim Souhan is retiring — and he’s not just leaving the game, he’s leaving it with a grin, a few regrets, and a whole lot of gratitude. From Kirby Puckett’s legendary charm to Lindsay Whalen’s grace, Souhan recounts the wild, sometimes volatile, but always rewarding access he had to athletes past and present. He remembers when players like Chris Doleman and Jerry Burns would confront reporters head-on — a time when journalism was raw, personal, and fiercely respected. Despite the drama, he treasures the deep bonds forged with teams and stars, including Twins management’s patience with his critiques and the exclusive stories that defined his career. From Usain Bolt’s Olympic sprints to Suni Lee’s gold, and Tiger Woods’ Masters miracle to the Lynx’s championship glory, Souhan’s legacy is etched in unforgettable moments. Now, he’s stepping away to spend more time with family — but not before thanking the athletes, teams, and fans who made his decades-long journey one for the record books.
