  • 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

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.
Ep. 494: Your Most Important Gear - Your Body
Q: What are the biggest health mistakes you see men making that quietly shorten their lives?
The top issue is high blood pressure and the silent nature of many problems; regular checkups and controlling blood pressure dramatically reduces risk, followed by neglecting fitness and poor diet, which compound health risks over time.
Ep. 489: Struck by Lightning
Q: I'd now like to ask Josh if there are any other wives' tales about lightning that he'd like to debunk.
Josh debunks myths such as touching a person struck by lightning to avoid electrocution and the idea that standing under a tree or wearing metal items increases risk; he also clarifies that lightning can strike the same area more than once and that safety protocols should prioritize getting to proper shelter as quickly as possible.
Ep. 912: Clay’s Ozark Bear Camp | 12 in '26
Q: What does a successful hunt look like to you, then?
It isn't always about harvesting an animal; it's about engaging with the history, culture, and bigger picture of hunting, and sometimes the most meaningful outcome is the story and education that comes from the experience.
