Podcast: Twins ask fans a big TV question; our summer intern’s favorite moments

On Wednesday’s Daily Delivery podcast, host Michael Rand caught up with Star Tribune summer sports intern Cassidy Hettesheimer about the Olympics. And the Twins are gauging interest in a new way to watch games in 2025.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with an update in the AL Central, where the Twins’ five-game winning streak ended in part because of a rough Pablo Lopez outing, the Guardians were rained out and now have two doubleheaders this week and the White Sox finally won after 21 consecutive losses. Also, a listener alerted Rand to a message sent by the Twins to season ticket holders about direct-to-consumer viewing options for 2025.

9:00: Star Tribune summer sports intern Cassidy Hettesheimer joins Rand to talk about her experience getting to know the Twin Cities and our sports scene. She’s been doing a lot of Olympics coverage and catches us up to speed on what to watch for the rest of the way in Paris.

28:00: The Vikings have no problem listing a starting quarterback. It’s the backup that they won’t tell us about.
