Everyone is talking about it so why wouldn't we?

Find out who has played the new virtual reality game and who is a curmudgeon about it. Where are the best places to catch rare Pokemon around Duluth and the Twin Ports? What we like most about the new game and what we don't like so much. Is it good for society? Why or why not? 

What has been your experience with Pokemon Go? Let us know at podcast@duluthnews.com.

What we are into this week: "Documentary Now" on Netflix, Amazing Grace Bakery and Cafe in Canal Park, color runs, and "The Girls" by Emma Cline.

Concerts, robotics competitions, Thanksgiving dinner, hockey games, dog shows, etc. The list goes on and on. 

The Duluth Entertainment Convention Center has seen it all in the last 50 years. Dan Russell, executive director of the DECC, shares some of his favorite memories from over the years, including one about golfing with Alice Cooper at Ridgeview Country Club. He also gives us the inside scoop on how they got the Beach Boys to come to Duluth.

What is your favorite memory of the DECC? Did you go to your first concert there? Maybe you've never missed a UMD hockey game. Or maybe you find yourself there every Thanksgiving Day sharing a meal with your neighbors. Let us know your DECC story by emailing us at podcast@duluthnews.com 

What we are into this week: We were so into talking about the DECC that we never shared what we are into this week. So I guess we are into the DECC.

The man, the myth, the living legend.

Duluth News Tribune outdoors writer and columnist Sam Cook shares his words of wisdom, outdoor expertise and the story behind yellow dog on this week's Pressroom Podcast.

Cook recently hiked the entire Duluth portion of the Superior Hiking Trail, 32.5 miles, in one day with two other guys. He tells us his favorite parts of the trail, what he ate throughout the hike and whether or not he will do it again.

"It was everything I wanted it to be," Cook said about the daylong hike. "It's just walking but it ain't walking on the Lakewalk."

What we are into this week: Learning from our children, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and exploring the Northland trails. Can you guess who said what?

We also respond to your best burger submissions. Thank you to all who responded and as always if you have a question or comment please email us at podcast@duluthnews.com.

Over a month ago, we declared our love for our favorite pizza pies in the Twin Ports. Now with grilling season in full swing, our mouths are watering over juicy, greasy, delicious burgers.

"I just had a BBQ bacon cheddar burger and it's just really good," said Christa about the new burgers being offered at Toasty's in downtown Duluth. "I don't even feel bad about eating it. I could eat one every day and I'd never get the burger guilts."

Putting all of their burger "guilts" aside Christa, Brady and Tom highlight their favorite go-to burgers around town, what toppings are acceptable and whether or not "craft" burgers, such as ones made with wild rice patties or served bunless, should be classified as actual burgers. 

What is your favorite burgers in the Twin Ports? Email us at podcast@duluthnews.com

What we are into this week: Brady is challenging his kids on the tennis courts, Christa dives head first into the Snapchat world, and Tom throws us a curveball.
