The range of guests is impressive, covering all aspects of the team from past players to current insiders. This podcast is enlightening for even the most knowledgeable Vikings fans.

    One of the best aspects of The Purple Insider is Matthew Coller's ability to provide unbiased coverage. Despite not growing up in Minnesota or as a Vikings fan, Coller offers a fresh perspective that has been sorely lacking in local media. He tackles the highs and lows of being a Vikings fan with an analytical and unemotional approach, which sets him apart from other beat writers. The podcast also excels at providing timely news updates and insightful analysis from insiders around the league.

    Despite its many strengths, some listeners may find fault with The Purple Insider's occasional tendency to focus on minor details. While Coller's attention to detail is commendable, it can sometimes detract from the bigger picture. Additionally, there have been criticisms about an overemphasis on pessimism regarding the state of the Vikings. While it's important to have realistic expectations, some fans may find this outlook disheartening.

    In conclusion, The Purple Insider is an outstanding podcast for Minnesota Vikings and NFL fans alike. Matthew Coller's expertise and unbiased perspective make for engaging episodes that offer valuable insights into the team and its future. With excellent guests and top-notch analysis, this podcast is essential listening for anyone who wants comprehensive coverage of their favorite football team.
