- Very informative podcast
This is a great podcast, I prefer the news podcasts to the interview podcast but that’s not Cals fault, not everyone is a riveting interviewee.

United States18 days ago - Bummer, will BHA also go Left?
The show has been trending politically left for some time now. Just give me the conservation news without political commentary, please.
Like it or not, Cal can’t be separated from BHA or the meat eater. I take it. His opinions are the policies of both organizations.
I just don’t understand the thinking from outdoorsmen believing that if they just parrot the talking points that they will be killed last (not literally). Maybe they will be killed last but assuredly they will be killed.

I’ll generally skip Ol Cal’s interview episodes, but when I saw that he had representatives Zinke and Vasquez in a room, I made time.
We need more interviews like these — Americans who don’t see eye to eye on everything but can sit down in a room, be adults, and actively and optimistically search for ways to find common ground. Even if it’s just on one issue.

getting sick of being told to call the representatives that you still defend and support as they sell off public lands

The amount of commercials/adds to actual product is way off. Don’t waste your time to hear 12 minutes of ads.
