    Please please please stop playing the corny t-mobile ad, I’m trying to keep listening to the meat eater network but this commercial playing 3 times per episode is killing me. Please consider a re-read of the ad or something. Change it up

  • A fisheries biologist whines about not using a helicopter? lol

    Steve your fisheries biologist friend sounds like he should move to Alaska and work so he can fly around and use engines and motors wherever he wants. Mules and horses pack fish in the backcountry and wilderness all the time. We just did it this year. What a pathetic story to drivel your drool on the Wilderness Act and Roadless Rule.

  • Wonderful Podcast

    A coworker had me listen to a trivia episode in late 2023, and as I listened more I decided to go back and start from the beginning. I have now caught back up and safe to say I’ve learned more than I thought possible and always have tons of information to tell my family.
