Sports Suffering Abroad (Vikings Fans Unite)

Ever cheered in the dark while everyone else slept? In this postcard, Zeck Bell salutes Minnesotans who set alarms for impossible game times, whisper their victories into pillows, and show up to work the next day—tired but loyal. From pubs in Europe to apartments in Melbourne, Sports Suffering Abroad honors the fans who keep faith alive across time zones. No matter where you watch, the purple runs on delay—but it still runs deep.

The Cold We Carry With Us

From Valencia to Duluth, the cold never quite leaves you. In this episode, Zeck Bell explores the winter we pack with us—the kind that hums beneath blue morning light and cracks lake ice in memory. Whether you’re sweating through a southern December or sipping cocoa in July, this one’s for anyone who still misses the squeak of frozen snow. Keep a winter ritual, no matter where you live. Some weather is emotional.

Hotdish in a Foreign Kitchen

How do you explain hotdish to someone who’s never seen a tater tot? In this postcard, Zeck Bell bakes comfort from scratch in a foreign kitchen—substituting ingredients, not memories. From tortillas to roast chicken, kindness remains the secret recipe. Wherever you are, bake till bubbly, call someone you love, and serve with a story.

Prince in Paris (and Beyond)

A rainy café in Paris. A barista with a purple streak presses play—and suddenly, it’s Minneapolis again. This 2-minute postcard from The Lost Minnesotan traces how Prince could shrink the world to a single heartbeat. Featuring listener memories from London and beyond. Wherever you are, keep a little purple in your day.

Duck Duck... Gray Duck or Goose?

The mystery of Duck, Duck, Gray Duck—solved at last. From a campfire for “Lost” Minnesotans worldwide, Zeck Bell unpacks how one childhood game became a cultural password. “Leave home long enough, and you realize which quirks you’ll never let go.”
