Welcome to The Water Cooler — your new weekly destination for all things sports in the Brainerd Lakes Area and beyond. Replacing the long-running Coaches Corner, this fresh take keeps the heart of the original show — exclusive interviews with local coaches and athletes — while adding even more insight, entertainment, and a dash of friendly banter.

Every Saturday, Logan and JD break down the latest in local high school and college sports, while also keeping tabs on the teams that matter most to Minnesota fans: the Vikings, Twins, Wild, Timberwolves, Loons, Lynx, Frost, Gophers, and more. With in-depth conversations, community-first coverage, and fun segments like sports trivia, The Water Cooler brings locker room talk to the airwaves — and your favorite podcast platform.

Catch it every weekend on KLIZ The Fan or wherever you listen to podcasts. It’s time to pull up a chair, crack open a cold take, and join the conversation.
