Mon-Fri 2-3pm

Patrick Reusse first hit the Twin Cities media scene as a sportswriter in 1968 at the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch, then later made his radio debut in 1980 as the co-host of Sunday Night SportsTalk on AM 1500 KSTP with Joe Soucheray. Reusse now tackles the world of sports every afternoon from noon to 2pm during his weekday show Reusse on Sports.

One of the Twin Cities most well-known media personalities, Reusse previously had written four-to-five columns per week for the Star Tribune over the past two decades. He continues in his role as a sports columnist with the paper, but has scaled back his writing to two columns per week.

I see doing five radio shows as a more challenging task than writing five columns per week,'' Reusse said. "Red Smith, the greatest sports columnist of all-time, once was asked why he didn't try another area of the newspaper and said, 'When I need a column, I always know where to find the dugout.'

Patrick Reusse continues from 2-4pm each afternoon with Joe Soucheray, co-hosting SportsTalk, the show that started it all!
