Podcasts - Hunting, Gear etc. related - Who is listening to what?

Hi forum,

I'm after some hunting, gear, and outdoors-related podcasts to listen to. I accept that many are product sponsored, particularly those out of the USA, but there are often good discussions and some little gems that come out of them.

I've got some go-to's, e.g. Vortex Nation, Paul John Michaels, and others that are much harder work to listen to, requiring a much larger grain of salt and sifting through, e.g. Backpacking Light, Hornady, Sportman's Empire, Nine Finger Chronicles, but I am interested in what others are listening to.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread, but couldn't see any other obvious place.

Thanks in advance.

I enjoyed Cutting the Distance while Remi Warren was hosting it. Kinda went off it with Dan Phelps, but haven’t given it much time

The Educated Hunter is a good one , kiwi guys covering all sorts of topics from our backyard to overseas

Ron Spomer has a podcast and a youtube channel

Remi has continued podcast as Live Wild, still heavy focus on Nth America but if you pick and choose some good episodes. The Hunting Collective (now finished) also has some good stuff and pretty easy listening. Into the Wilderness with Byron Page is a bit more intellectual but does cover some interesting topics. Wild Fed is not so hunting centric but a worth a listen if you are interested in foraging for wild food in general.

I like Anchored with April Vokey, it's focused on fly fishing but she covers hunting and general outdoors etc and has some pretty interesting guests. Kifarucast is a good one if you're a gear freak they don't just focus on their own gear either, I've found a few good episodes but a lot of them are very "murica"

Ryan I'm sure the fact April isnt too hard on the eyes doesnt hurt hurt either lol

I listen to podcast all day at work through my bluetooth earmuffs so I've got a few hunting ones in the library

Meateater
The stag roar [nz based]
Solo hunter
The educated hunter [nz based]
Becoming a bowhunter [australian , he hunts with rifles too]
By land
Live wild
The gritty podcast
The mindful hunter
The beargrease podcast

A lot of the american ones spend a lot of time talking about issues that dont apply to NZ hunting but their gear reviews are often pretty good, the mindful hunter spent $5000 of his own money n packs to give objective reviews. There should be one or two you like in there.

Thanks guys, some great suggestions for me to wade through!!!

I listen to the meat eater podcasts from time to time but skip it when it is their trivia game podcasts.

Yeah, they are pretty tedious.

Another one is the Big Hunt Guys podcast, I've only listened to the latest one where they chat with Remi Warren which was pretty good.

Try Beyond the Kill. Sponsored by the Wild Sheep Foundation. Content alternates between hunting and fitness/ injury management for hunters.
One of the better ones.

The meateater podcast and cutting the distance have both done entire episodes on gear that are pretty good. If you google meateater gear episode you should be able to find the episode number.

Meateater is the best hunting podcast in general, not everything is relatable to nz no but still interesting.
I cant stand the educated hunter

Huberman Lab.

He is a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology, and does podcasts on how to make your body work better.

Things like flexibility, strength, sleep, eating, body repairs - there is a heap of depth, but I left school in the 6th form and can follow him. I heard him on Jocko, and what an interesting guy. Not at all what you would have expected - he dropped out of school to go semi pro skating, bounced, went to uni to chase a girl, (didn't get her) slept in the lab and washed in the gym all the way from a BSc to his PhD, now a tenured Professor at Stanford.

All of this stuff helps you be in better shape for hunting, and to do it for longer.

Is the educated hunter podcast still going ?

I think it stopped around the time of the first lockdown

Stoked we don’t have bears in NZ https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcas...=1000590144887

I've been listening to the Backcountry Hunting Podcast for the past few weeks, have enjoyed that so far.
Can't compare it to some of the others listed and definitely has some more Murica specific episodes, but it still makes for good cab listening :)

Paul John Michaels podcast is pretty good. Him and Ben May have a few in-depth poddys on almost all aspects of hunting, from gear, to hut etiquette, ballistics, new hunting spots etc plus Paul John Michaels has his big game indicating dogs podcast which is good for a listen

I enjoy all the 10 minuet talks on YouTube . Think their the vortex nation your referring to more about cartridges but they do touch on gear here and their

"I picked up my goatee off the ground" , theres another one of Remi Warrens podcast about a bear attack in Alaska thats good too

Beyond the kill,Nolan is good to listen to

Kifarucast is worth a listen with Aron Snyder
