Yes cal is a bit liberal, but the podcast is enjoyable. Also like Tony’s segment, although he appears to hate men, because he is a girl dad, and has an apparent disdain for religion.

Hey Cal, you keep parroting the Project 2025 nonsense. Where’s the concrete evidence of fraud and waste? So far the only fraud and waste has been with DOGE itself who repeatedly removes their falsehoods and inaccuracies from their website. Keep up the disinformation and propaganda you have proven so effective at!

Don’t listen to the main podcast, but Tony’s Houndation segment is fantastic. Used to be a regular listener to his Sporting Dog Talk podcast and love getting to hear hunting dog content from him again!

In episode 347 you missed one of the longest cases of boat trash. Check out the 100+ foot tug abandoned in Baileys Harbor Wisconsin. It’s been there for over three years and no one knows how it’s going to be removed.

Fun but gets boring a lot

Been listening for years, had to finally unsubscribe, Cal is a Wolfe in sheep’s clothing. Posing as a representative of us hunters, but really a sneaky spokesperson of the deep state democrats. Don’t be a sucker, wasted my time for a long time. Get out while you can. He doesn’t have your interests in mind.

21st century market hunting

Love it

The only podcast on the Meateater podcast network I can listen to anymore.. Cal is genuine, actually cares about our lands and our rights, and less about the image. Cal puts the work in on the ground to further our efforts. Where it seems everyone else has gone to the low hanging fruit and entertainment value and sponsors.. Thanks Cal and Phil and ol’ snort..

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

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.

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.
