Pulltab Sports Expands Flyover State of Mind to Five States.
STILLWATER, Minn. - Pulltab Sports (www.pulltabsports.com) has expanded its coverage to five states, with podcasts and written articles on sports and culture in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and South Dakota.
And there’s more to come, including a Thursday live production of the new “Celly Hard” podcast featuring former Minnesota Ms. Hockey Winny Brodt-Brown and Stanley Cup champion Tom Chorske, live at Wild Bill’s in downtown St. Paul. Centered around the Minnesota State High School League’s Girls State Hockey Tournament, the podcast will begin at 2 p.m. and feature Gopher women’s hockey stars Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle.
Most recently, Pulltab Sports launched Herd Mentality and Hooves Up, both devoted to the USHL’s Sioux Falls Stampede.
Early in 2023, Stanzel’s Sports Takeout, the Twin Cities’ only three-times-a-week sports newsletter, began a partnership with Pulltab Sports. “The Takeout” is posted daily on pulltabsports.com and supported throughout Pulltab’s social media channels.
“The Takeout has had an avid readership since it began more than two years ago,” said Ryan Stanzel. “I’m thrilled to partner with Pulltab Sports to turn hundreds of eyeballs into hundreds of thousands and beyond. The sky’s the limit for both Stanzel’s Sports Takeout and Pulltab Sports.”
Three times a week, the Takeout hits on four to six topics per day with a heavy emphasis on local pro and college sports. With Stanzel’s background working in professional sports, he can bring a unique perspective to his readers. Stanzel also authors the popular Minnesota Twins “Make Glove not W.A.R.” column and podcast on Pulltab.
“In today’s TikTok world we know we need bite size content, and Stanzel’s Sports Takeout is precisely the sort of sports style tapas we know our audience will love.,” said John King and Tom Garrity, owners of Pulltab.
There are more new additions to Pulltab Sports, which recently became the landing spot for the VikesVerified Podcast and SAC Sports Adventures. VikesVerified, hosted by Nick Eliason and Matt Meade, is closing in on 50 podcasts covering the Purple and Gold. SAC Sports Adventures, written by Spencer Collins, visits both iconic NHL rinks like United Center, plus junior rinks like Capitol Ice Arena in Madison and Fox Valley Ice Arena, home of the USHL’s Chicago Steel.
Pulltab currently offers more than 10 podcasts, with more on the way. Maybe you’re a hockey fan who enjoys Wild on 7th with King and longtime NHL’er and Wild analyst Ryan Carter - also available on Bally Sports North. King and Garrity also host Can You Keep a Secret - private conversations with public figures like Ryan Suter, Bally’s Audra Martin and WCCO’s Frank Vascellaro.
Other Pulltab podcasts include Crunch Wears No Pants - it’s like Wolves Twitter but in audio form; Bobby Finn Knows Everyone, an ode to St. Paul’s East Side; Cocktology, meant to help you become a better bartender at home; and The 99%ers, made for those 99% of us that don’t make the big leagues. The 99%ers is co-hosted by former Gopher and brief Wild forward Danny Irmen.
