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

Even though I’m not American, this podcast, The American West, is my favorite. It brings together the pre history, the recent history, the cultures and nature that make the West so unique. DF is a very special voice. His ability to articulate the essence of what makes the West so great, his research and his experience, and his love of the area comes through each and every episode.

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.
