James Pogatshnik
James Pogatshnik (known online as bigmono) is the host and producer of Norse Code, the #1 podcast for Minnesota Vikings fans. He is responsible for the show's production, structure, and much of its comedic tone.
Role on Norse Code
[edit]James serves as the show's anchor and producer — he keeps episodes moving, manages the mailbag, and provides the comedic counterbalance to Arif Hasan's analytical deep dives. While Arif brings the film and data, James brings the listener's perspective and a sharp wit that has defined the show's voice across 600+ episodes.
He is the logistical backbone of Norse Code: booking guests, managing the Patreon, coordinating the annual Christmas clip show, and keeping Arif broadly on topic.
