The best show ever!!!

zebrasz ,

Great tribute to “Granny”

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.

Meat Eater is bad for hunters

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
