Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

116

Welcome Seahawks fans! Seahawks Forever is where I get to take all my passion, knowledge and insight into the Seattle Seahawks and roll it into one. I've been covering the team in one form or another since 1991, as a television journalist, web writer and podcaster. What you'll find here is my analysis and opinions on what the team is doing, or SHOULD be doing, on the field and off. From the draft and free agency, to everything that happens once the pads go on..... join me and my roster of fellow journalists and analysts for what I feel is the best Seahawks content around. Go Hawks!!

    A True Fan—Deeply Cares, Pulls No Punches
    Dan is a lifetime Seahawks fan, an inherited season ticket holder, who sticks with his team through all the ups and downs—Forever. But that doesn’t mean he believes they can do no wrong. His knowledge is deeper than most, but he knows where he has limits and brings excellent guests to bring context and critiques along with all the news through every phase of the league the year.
  • KbOTS. Lover of all.
    Fair and balanced
    Not a homer. Seeks accuracy. Has an opinion and definately CARES. Does not let his opinion dictate the narrative of his podcast. Calls in LOTS of league experts and hosts several pods per week. Not sure why it took you so long to get this off the ground, Dan, but you’re the GD man and STOP letting the haters get you to react to them!! lol maybe I just love this podcast because I feel the way he does all the time. Is an expert at expanding difficult to understand topics. Blow up!!!!

  • Bary Roy
    Best Show Out There
    Hands down the best show I have found. Dan is insightful, highly knowledgable and really works his craft to perfection! Incredibly good guests that also bring a dimension that’s hard to find anywhere else.
  • Snydro81
    Gone Downhill
    Hawks vibes are high, but the show remains monotone and has somehow turned into an ad for bluesky?
  • JeffM0315
    Wonderful insight
    I never miss an episode. A must listen for all Hawks fans.
  • Mshearer
    Excellent
    Really appreciate the thoughtful and nuanced approach to expressing informed opinions about all aspects of the Seahawks! Consistently look forward to listening!
  • Memememememmesdsfqsg
    Thank you
    Thank you for the hard work and excellent Seahawks coverage. We are lucky to have you!
  • 12thManSB2019
    Thanks Dan for doing something other than the draft.
    Great show Dan. Very informative and helpful. Provides important perspective. Thanks again!
  • Gavin Culbertson
    Just amazing!
    Being a big time Seahawks fan, live in Kansas and this podcast gives me all of the details. When I’m working I’m learning about prospects… different types of ideology that people have. Love the Cooper DeJean idea as-well if we trade down… just amazing man!
  • Dane Mosher
    Excellent pod
    Few bring the passion the way Dan does. He’s knowledgeable but also I really appreciate he’s a fan first and doesn’t hide it. Makes listening to his content very enjoyable and authentic.
  • Fhawk
    Great Show Dan
    Love the content and passion with a reasonable approach.
  • bob hellbringer
    This guy is really into the Seahawks
    I mean seriously, the host is really into it, I’m a little worried about him. Great show and really fun, Dan posits lots of speculation and ideas but it’s backed up with solid research and interviews. Keep it up Dan!
  • Hudson Hawkz
    Solid Podcast
    I’ve been a Hawks fan since the early 80s, and even though I live in the NYC area I eat, sleep and breathe Seahawks. Dan’s podcast is one of two Hawks related podcasts that I listen to religiously. He knows his stuff, is objective, and offers valuable insight. Highly recommend giving it a listen!
  • DaveOtt26
    My favorite
    This is my favorite Seahawks pod. Dan does a great job bringing a grounded perspective to the topic.
  • cdalt0
    Great Seahawks listen
    Well put together show with a good mix of news, reaction and opinion.
  • alec__mac
    Don’t waste your time
    If you like getting opinions teased out at you as if they’re facts, then this is the show for you! This guy loves a Clickbait article as a topic for half an hour of teasing commentary. The host has a smarmy know it all attitude. I don’t like his tone, I don’t like his comments. I don’t like his vibe, skip this one. There are better football and Seahawks podcasts out there.
  • coachmikeburns
    I could drink a beer with this guy
    Easy listening podcast minus the insane analytics. Good takes and willing to admit when his take was wrong.
  • spencercahalan
    Great podcast
    Must listen for me. Dan is well-versed and does the research. Does a great job with his guests and brings the best out of them.
  • DanDan-
    Great, frequent Seahawks pod
    Great content, I love how frequently you post and the thoughtful insights and analysis. Fulfilling my desire for Hawks content! Keep up the good work & congrats on the new pod
  • priyankaaaaaaaa
    Love this show
    My gosh, intelligent conversation, interesting guests and little or no advertisements. Thank you!
  • goudashark
    Intro
    You are awesome. Please change your intro. The woman’s voice is insanely irritating.
  • Tiesha Nicole
    This Dan Knows what’s going on!🙌
    Very enlightening & insightful… 💯 Good stuff!
  • pearlhead10
    Dan Viens no’s how to hawk it up,,so listen!!!
    Not a reviewer kind of person but the show today was joyful listen, thought I’d let you know it was well done. Pod on Brother Hawker
  • scottinthe503
    Tanking like the Seahawks
    I didn’t know y’all were going to tank like the Seahawks. You went from your best host (Brandan) since Danny Kelly, to a silly #TwitterHotTake man who doesn’t seem to understand the game of football. Do better!
  • Burnplant
    Lame
    You can do just as well listening to your coworkers as these guys. No personality, think they are clever, and botch a lot of details or even basics a Seahawks podcaster should know
  • Philngood
    Brandan is the best!
    When it comes to sports podcasting, Brandan leads the way in every way. He brings more than a golden voice to your ears. Brandan’s determination to ensure each episode brings great sound quality and top notch editing is found to be second to none. These podcasts also offer a nice bouquet of insight, fun, laughs, news, analysis, and passion. You’ll also other unique voices - including the very skilled Clinton. Plus, you can hear the awesome variety of guests that Brandan brings in from time to time to offer fascinating perspective. If you think you might enjoy balanced coverage with the spice of variety…all with a decidedly pleasant Seahawks bias, check it out! Great shows!…even if they are all shepherded in from a man with two misspelt names. :)
  • Deserthawk12
    Y’all got it wrong..
    It’s not Waldo or Sugar Shane... it’s just plain old Wally.
  • BJPester
    Great pod
    I love 3 in 3 out! And I was so excited when I heard Jamal Adams was traded to the Seahawks!! I think they did good in it because the Seahawks should not be drafting in the first place🤣🤣🤣🤣I got so surprised when they drafted jordyn brooks! So absolutely they should trade all of their picks for DEFENSE!!! Or pick up more people on the defensive side in free agency/draft. Thank you gents for doing this you are helping make quarantine much easier! Catfish the 49ers and GO HAWKS!!!
  • BWallz
    Amazing Show!
    Sad to hear you’re going to be slowing down post draft as this has been one of the things really providing joy during this pandemic... BUT you deserve a nice break as well and I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve given these past few months! Go Hawks!
  • jlo223$
    Great content
    The podcast has had some great content in the buildup to the draft. I enjoyed the review of the SEC and I appreciated the format you used describing the Pete and John press conference. Your intros for each segment were very helpful. Great podcast!
  • KiloAiko07
    Great Podcast
    Thanks to all of you gentlemen for your consistently produced Seahawks content. I love it! Go Hawks.
  • Bandicoot1913
    Seahawks
    Great show Can’t wait for the next one GEAUX Hawks
  • Russ_M
    Great podcast for Seahawks fans!
    This is a great Seahawks focused podcast with tons of information and insight. They bring in a lot of knowledgeable guests and can be quite entertaining as well. Great coverage all year long.
  • Jamey-K
    Great Seahawks Pod
    I listen to a lot of podcasts, but Brandan one of my favorites. Especially when it comes to my Hawks. Informative and fun to listen to and great guests that come on. Definitely worth a listen and Go Hawks.
  • JA206
    Always a solid C
    This podcast is a good complement to the others but is dry ultimately.
  • Dkmirishman27
    Informative
    Great Seahawks podcast thanks for doing it. The ads are pretty annoying but I understand the need to have them.
  • deutcrobes
    Field Gulls
    The latest (3/15) was the single stupidest and ignorant podcast I’ve heard in a loooong time. No new information and lots of idiotic opinions about football and especially about the need for taking the viral outbreak seriously.
  • DookieBear oOOo
    Brandon is my hero
    If i had a boy i would rename him Brandon, but i don't so we're safe. Love all the work you guys put in thank you and Go Hawks!
  • Danish07dna
    I like the onion strings.
    They’re crunchy.
  • FattyAcid23
    We don’t need Adam
    Quit putting Adam on the podcast. If I want to listen to him, I’ll listen to your other show. Don’t put the exact same crap on 2 different shows. Don’t dilute the material please
  • Hill Hawk
    Best Seahawks pod out there
    Adam and Brandan have been serving up fantastic pods for a while and now they partnered with Field Gulls. They bring a lot of mirth to Seahawks coverage and aren’t afraid to call out those who need to DO BETTER. Mandatory listening for all Seahawks fans.
  • WVSeahawker
    More is better
    The more I can here these guys talk football, the happier I am.
  • 🤙🏼Hawka
    Awesome hawks cast
    Been listening to Brandon and Adam for the past year. I love their Hawk talk with entertaining accurate hawk news. 🤙🏼Hawka
  • Crackrock9000
    If you are a Seahawks fan and not listening... it’s time to do better!
    These guys are fun, hilarious, and totally know their Seahawks football! I look forward to their podcast every week! I am in the Flock and it is an awesome community of 12s! Whether it is during season or for you football fix in the offseason, it doesn’t matter. Tune in! - Shannon
  • Demo Ram
    I’m a Little Flocker
    Didn’t get to do pick em this year as I just found the Seahawkers Podcast halfway through the season. But I plan on doing it next season. Brandon and Adam are hilarious. Go Hawks -USMC HAWK
  • gforce1118
    Go Hawks!
    Don’t listen to this podcast if you like to laugh, have a good time and be able to support your Hawks. These guys are great!
  • Bacons4real
    Because your worth it
    Nothings else to say other than when I hear this podcast I’m sure it’ll be 5 Star worthy! Keep it up boys hopefully you get even more listeners and lil flockers!
  • imnotanaddict
    The Seahawkers Field Gulls Mashup we all need
    Here we go with the military Seahawk era! Glad to know you boys are teaming up with the legendary fieldgulls.com and I believe you two deserve it! Mazlto! @Seahawkscrazy
  • Samuel J G
    A place for 12’s to congregate!
    This is an amazing podcast, with host who love their Seahawks, but are also willing to get their magnifying glasses and look in depth at what the front office and coaching staff are doing. They do shows all year long, and cover all the stories, even if it’s to say how stupid a story it is. This is a great place to celebrate in times of victory, and a great place for therapy when times are tough. If you don’t like the Seahawks, this is also a place for those worries about the man-bun/visor apocalypse, get your latest science info, and reminisce on the greatness of Betty White in “Golden Girls. Host Adam and Branden are easy to interact with, and it’s easy to get your thoughts heard on the show. They are prime examples of what makes the 12’s the greatest fan base in all sports. Ps, and I never do this, but .....First
