Genuine Outdoor lovers

Love everything these guys do. My sons are 6 and 7, they don't know any Hollywood celebrities or professional athletes, but they come running when they hear Steve Rinella's voice from anywhere in the house. Very intelligent people with a true live for the outdoors.

Best podcast by far for the whole family!!

When I found out about Steven Rinella and the MeatEater Podcast I immediately started listening and can say I am down to 30 or so shows left before I have listened to every single podcast. The amount of information that you grasp from the guests as well as Steve, Ryan, Janis, and the rest of the crew, will leave you wanting to listen to more.
I have the podcast playing in my ear from the time I start getting ready for work until long after I get home. Being able to listen while working or just getting through your daily tasks makes everything fly by. Steve has more knowledge about anything outdoors that if I have a question I can probably find a place where he has answered it.
If you have the time and are looking for something to listen to, outdoor or just about anything related to the great outdoors, please give this podcast a listen. It will be well worth it.

Keep Interrupting lol

The show is how it sounds. Some good friends hanging out talking, laughing over exciting, and eventful stories. If you want a boring one sided conversation moving slow and dragging out one loan subject. This show is not for you.

Love the “real” talk

Love the Meat Eater show , books and podcast! I like the topics and the people Steve brings to the microphone. I also like how real they are, they don’t try and push shit out for marketing like other hunting shows

would Steve just let someone finish talking

I've noticed it before and I know it's his show, but wow! I'm hoping it was just because they are brothers. Steve if your gonna have people on to debate let them finish a sentence. I had to quit because I couldn't fallow along anymore
