and that’s saying a lot. i listen to various shows for about 5 hours a day.

Absurd amount of advertisements that turns me off on the meat eater brand. Love the content though!

The houndations episode are weird. His explaining on things is weird. Let’s get the explaining and examples all about the dog.

For a show that has such a cool name nobody has mentioned a hound yet. This is a podcast for pet owners not hound hunters.

Week in review and houndations are fantastic. Thanks Tony and Cal!

Please end this podcast. I am a birddog guy and the podcast is neither entertaining nor educational. Worst one you guys have put out and I love most of your products

Great way to stay informed. Loved the Stripah episode. Keep those coming.

Tony, does a great job on all his platforms delivering his message. Houndations is easy to follow and informative. Keep'em coming.

Meat eater and cal’s week in review are the best podcast's ever!

I can’t support this podcast knowing that the meat eater machine promotes things only to line their pockets and is counter to the interests of the hunting public

A big thanks to you and Steve for inviting on anti-predator, anti-wildlife, pro-industrial and corporate agriculture folks and organizations on your podcasts. Love seeing hunters masquerading as conservationists and lovers of native wildlife defend agriculture over native habitats and native flora and fauna. Cows not condos! Amazing!

So sorry to hear of your loss Cal, granny sounds like a very influential person in your life. I was so touched by your remembrance of her on this weeks show. You have mentioned her in other episodes as well. One of the things that keeps me listening each week ( I have heard every episode from week one) is that you share your life with us and we are enriched by it!! Much love to you and your family in this time of loss.

Love the story. Thanks for sharing.

My condolences to you Ryan and your family. Granny was a great matriarch and embodied what makes families generationally strong. Keep her alive through your stories.

Need to do an episode including the TWRA CWD scandal. BIG DEAL!

Cal certainly shares some very important and interesting insights that all outdoorsmen should be aware of, but be ready people. Cal is also that guy who tells you how great he is and you aren’t! He and Steve’s brother (mister my spot) should get together on a podcast.

Probably the best conservation education, and purely entertaining, podcasts out there. Thank you for what you and your team do!

I heard Cal whine that we all need to get involved in conservation public policy on the Trivia podcast. I took his challenged and listened in ever since. I was rewarded with a brief, weekly, informative and entertaining program that encourages involvement and educates me. Well done, Cal.

Top shelf reporting, my number 1 podcast. Aside from MeatEater trivia of course!

I love the delivery, the format, and the humor. Short sweet and with many points.

He’s the best! Great bunch of outdoor news fast. Great podcast.

I appreciate Cal’s humble personality. He’s funny and witty. I appreciate this podcast and and he’s presence in the MeatEater podcast. He’s a good balance between them all.

Finally, someone that actually has a non-political common sense approach to legislative issues.

Cal, it’s pronounce SeWaro Cactus. Not seGuaro.

I love this show. Sometimes I make new hires at work listen to it in the van while they ride around with me. Most people glance at me sideways with a “cool story bro,” kind of look. I remember you gave some cougar recipe ideas on an early episode, and I got myself a cat last season. So far it has made real good pulled pork type food, but I’d like to hear more about cooking cougars in general from meat eater. Might make a great ‘Cal in the Kitchen’ episode. Thanks for all the great info, laughs, and calls to action. -Brian, the hopeful cat cooker.

Love the podcast. Humor combined with real concerns and issues aimed at our way of life, including public land threats. Keep up the great work !

Always whining and lecturing everyone.

Very informative. It was kinda weird to be listening to the podcast and pass Ryan going in the grocery store though lol.

As always, susinct and accurate information on important topics. Thanks for a great year of keeping me well informed. This week’s empathy for bird farmers hopefully put things in perspective for grumbling hunters. I also could not agree with you more on CWD. I hope your positive scenarios are how it plays out in the future. Thanks again for a great podcast every week!

Great podcast

This is a great, quick pod to keep up with wildlife news. Helps us all remember to participate in democracy if we have something to say as opposed to just complaining about it.

Using data from the radical anti-hunting WWF makes me wonder about the accuracy of the podcast. Someone tell Cal that Wyoming has white tailed deer.

Good podcast that keeps you up-to-date on all things hunting and conservation. My only complaint is how the Meateater franchise has sold out for ad revenue. I remember when Steve would make fun of “ball sports” as he was so into hunting/fishing. All the sport ads now kinda makes me wince. I guess money changes things.

Cal speaks the universal language of love- hillbilly!

Love this podcast. Full of great information, science, and practical hunting information. Cal is a true conservationist and public land advocate. Keep ‘em coming!!

Ty for your hard work and dedication to keeping us informed on the latest in the outdoors

I really appreciate the hard work and research that Cal (and his team) put in to keep us informed on what’s going on. I’ve binged every episode, some of them more than once. Keep them coming. Great information!

The only downside is listening to Steve talk about Can-Am for like 3 minutes every episode. Gotta make the bucks though, I get it. Educational, quick, and thorough. Ryan did a great job with the content!

I love the way Cal presents news I don’t hear anywhere else! Keep up the great show.

Why would a podcast on conversation be sponsored by Exxon Mobil? Seems kind of strange to me.

Super informative and entertaining at the same time. Cal does a great job providing covering policy info as well which is incredibly important for people like us.

Thanks Cal!

Cal's quick-fire news is a real hoot! Fun to listen to. Edit: after 3 years or so, I'm less than thrilled at the rising percentage of calls to political action. It's not balanced at all. Not that they're not necessary, but as far as the entertainment factor goes, it's overwhelming and the fun factor is pretty much gone. Cal's become a real drag to listen to. I know this is an unpopular opinion and I love Meateater but this Cal thing's really getting boring.

Thanks for headlining your Feb 13, 2022 “Bad Bill Review” with Tennessee HB 1674 and the threat to Yanahli WMA. And thanks for pointing out, whether you are a hunter or angler in CA, MT, ME, FL or a private land owner in TN, the BAD BILLS also are a threat to you. Cal, here’s an update. Both bills have been withdrawn. Yanahli is saved. For now. I’m sure these critters will search for another way to grab it. Thank you so much for your help and support. Keep up the great work. I’ll be listening.

Very enjoyable news about the outdoors we care about and enjoyable stories from his week as well

Quick entertaining news I actually care about.

Love it and can’t wait for each episode to come out! The best thing about it is he is able to articulate a point or tell a story without the use of curse words which makes it easy to listen to with the kids in the truck. Also one of the few podcasts I’ve been able to share with my parents who won’t listen to anyone who curses. The only issue I have is that I wish it was longer!

My favorite pod!

While other MeatEater platforms embrace invasive plants and animals, Cal keeps us focused on the dangers of invasive species. This is also the place to get all the scoop on everything we should know as conservation minded hunters and anglers. Thank you Cal. Keep it up.

Best hunting podcast
