  • Not one for reviews

    I rarely ever leave reviews on any format but I felt inclined to do so here. I’ve been a fan of clays since his first appearances on the meat eater channels and thoroughly enjoy bear grease. As one of the few northern civil war enthusiasts who has traced family ties to the union army via Maine and New York regimens, I was really invested in that series. Brent’s this country life makes me feel like I’m sitting around with an old friend. If there’s one guy out there id love to share a camp or just... more

  • This is a fantastic hunting and fishing podcast

    This is one of the ideal podcasts to listen to if or if not you are a hunter or just somebody wanting to listen to an education podcast. I loved learning about the bear population and bear hunting in Florida. This is a fantastic resource and helps me personally learn how to notice things that I would never notice like a coon dog or bear population charts which I would have never have paid attention to before listening to this podcast. Keep up the good work!!!! #letmistytalk

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 505: Asa Carter - The Education of Little Tree (Part 2, Revisited)
Q: Did Carter truly change, or did he maintain racist beliefs throughout his life?
The episode presents competing views: some interviewees argue he remained racist, while others point to a complex persona where aspects of reform or nostalgia for the South mingled with his public career; the evidence remains inconclusive about a complete transformation.
Ep. 505: Asa Carter - The Education of Little Tree (Part 2, Revisited)
Q: How did Asa Carter's background in white supremacy influence the narrative of Little Tree, if at all?
The discussion suggests that Carter used anti-government and anti-establishment themes to connect with audiences, but it remains debated whether the book was intended as a genuine empathy piece or a strategic vehicle for propaganda that could resonate with readers despite the author's past.
Ep. 505: Asa Carter - The Education of Little Tree (Part 2, Revisited)
Q: What drove Carter to write The Education of Little Tree under a new name, Forrest Carter?
He grew disillusioned with politics and sought financial success and literary legitimacy, imagining himself as the next Hemmingway, which led him to reinvent his identity to distance the public from his past and monetize his writing.
Ep. 500: Conman - The Education of Little Tree (Part 1, Revisited)
Q: Do you read this to your kid?
The hosts discuss whether to introduce the book to children and how to frame the complex legacy of its author when discussing with family.
Ep. 500: Conman - The Education of Little Tree (Part 1, Revisited)
Q: Your original interest in Asa Carter was you were doing a biography on George Wallace. And then you went to meet Seymour Trammell, who was George Wallace's right hand man.
Dr. Carter explains how his biographical work led him to uncover the double life of Asa Carter and the influence on Forest Carter, including Insight from Seymour Trammell.
