"Great Dane Nation" was a weekly podcast hosted by Pro Football Hall of Fame kicker Morten "The Great Dane" Andersen from the fall of 2020 to spring of 2022! Morten was joined by fellow legends of the game to talk about their life in football, tell stories, talk about today’s NFL, and bring our listeners inside the locker room in a way they’ve never been before. Occasionally, Morten was joined by friends from outside football, like Charles Barkley and Bill Murray! Morten was also joined each week by his sidekick, TommyFreezePops (Tom Carroll). This feed is meant to preserve their legendary run
