It’s December 14, 1980—Week 15 of the NFL season—and everything is on the line in frigid Bloomington, Minnesota. The Cleveland Browns, known as the “Kardiac Kids” for their season-long string of heart-stopping finishes, travel north to face Bud Grant’s resurgent Minnesota Vikings, who need a win to claim the NFC Central crown. With playoff dreams and legacies at stake, what unfolds at Metropolitan Stadium is one of football’s most breathtaking, improbable endings: a final drive for the ages, an audacious hook-and-lateral, and a last-second, triple-tipped Hail Mary that cements its place in NFL folklore. Join host Brian Merritt as he revisits every moment—breakdowns, blunders, and brilliance—from a game that truly rewrote the script on miracles. Relive the agony, the ecstasy, and the enduring legend of the Miracle at the Met.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
