If I could leave zero stars, I would. It’s disappointing that MeatEater has endorsed or attached
themselves to someone that clearly has a bias and undertones that align more closely to groups that work to erode priorities of ME listeners

I’m learning a lot about the ancient American West. Really enjoyed the cast on the Paleo-Indians, Clovis. Wasn’t really aware of any of this history. Very interesting stuff. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Dan Flores..... you are amazing. I'm on the Missouri right now cooking for an outfitter and guide. I just met a guide on the trip who was student of yours. Needless to say I was so jealous and had many questions . Your depth of knowledge and conveyance to the reader is beyond comprehension for us mere mortals. No wonder Steve Rinella has taken you onto his team. "Surround yourself with people better than you", and Steve is up there on his story telling and mastery of writing. Thank you for sha... more

Anything that Dan Flores presnts is excellent! I just want a podcast on that, full stop. But there is an insistence on a post podcast interview/ Q&A with Steven Rhinella that is just terrible. It offers NOTHING of value to an episode. I tend to stop most episodes once this q&a starts.
