You invite Gilbert on your show, yet you arrogantly demean his 40+ years of knowledge on the subject with your “opinions”, call his expertise “bombastic” and you wonder why he’s upset 🤦♂️ Also stop the baseless russian bullsh$t about euro wolves killing people. Stick to your white claw and chewing tobacco
Hit & Miss
05.11.2022
That’s the most accurate thing I can say is that it’s hit and miss. When it’s at its best it’s really a fantastic podcast. When it’s at its worst then it’s a real tough listen.. unfortunately that swing is episode to episode and there’s not a lot in between best and worst. If you’re like me then there’s a long stretch where you get more than you bargained for with personal politics sold a little condescendingly as the only right outlook on politics/life/hunting. There are a lot of hypocritical hunting ethics and outlooks especially in the early days of the podcast and slightly condescending hunting “purism” that didn’t really float my boat. If you don’t mind filtering through the bad to get to the good then I would recommend listening overall.
So long old friend.

Anyway, it seems as though we are old friends and hunt together for years. IMO your best work was during the early part of the pandemic when you did daily pods to help get us through it. Now that we are seeing some normalcy, bang. Guys punched. Good luck Ben. I know you’ll make Meateater better!
Whatever this show claims to be, it’s not

I first heard Ben on the meateater podcast and wanted to give this a shot bc Ben was hilarious on that, so I was hoping that humor/charisma would carry over to this show. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed and this show is too serious for its own good. I’ve listened to dozens of episodes waiting to get hooked and feel that I gave the show its fair shake, but it’s not going to happen. The interview with Wes Siler is the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. That guy was one of the most pretentious, unlikable characters I’ve heard and seems to share a lot of the same view points as Ben, bc Ben didn’t challenge him on anything. Ben doesn’t strike me as being genuine in any sense of the word. I don’t think it’s even malicious, I just get the sense that he doesn’t even know what he’s about. As an east coaster I was hoping to have something I could relate to and enjoy, but this isn’t it. Personally I don’t need another public lands circle jerk, that is sooooo played out at this point. It’d be cool to find something lighthearted and interesting. It is concerning when this and other meateater productions only seem to grow a set of balls is when anyone challenges their sacred goat: Public lands. Otherwise if your an animal activist, gun rights activist, or New Jersey cat lady, they seem to all of sudden become neutered. So far I’ve been pleased with the bear grease podcast and Clay has the charisma that I was hoping Ben would have (fingers crossed that one doesn’t drink the kool-aid too). If the meateater team isn’t already fielding focus groups and consumer research, they would be smart to do so, so they don’t alleniate their base. It’s concerning to see them trading their ‘Montanan’ in favor of ‘Manhattan’.
I don’t understand

I truly don’t understand exactly what audience this podcast is trying to attract. Bens internal conflicts that are expressed service no general purpose that I have found after multiple attempts to listen. Maybe I am missing some history on Ben that I need to know, but honestly it was hard to follow along with the episodes I did try and listen to, with that said, you got my follow as I believe Meateater does serve a greater good to the future of hunting and fishing.
Liberal blowhard
20.05.2021
This is the worst podcast I think I’ve ever hear. A liberal America hating blowhard trying to infiltrate the American culture of hunting is ridiculous. Just go away ben! A better job for you would be don lemon’s gopher on cnn. Get out of my woods!
Great discussions
06.05.2021
I just came back to hunting after a long hiatus and found this podcast. Sad to hear it will soon be over, but I’m looking forward to enjoying all the past episodes. It’s been great to listen to the discussions on honoring the animal and the similarities between a hunter’s ethic and a vegan’s. While I am blessed with an incredible and thoughtful father who taught me his own strong hunting ethic, I was often dismayed to find that this seemed absent in the community at large, or if present not emphasized and rarely talked about. If we’re going to preserve hunting for our grandkids’ grandkids, this needs to be the first thing we teach our new hunters.
Gonna miss ya

Hate not having this to listen to n the future. Hope the old ones stay available. Thx Ben
Sad
29.04.2021
I am so sad there’s only 2 episodes left. Ben O’Brien has a great perspective on the life of an outdoorsman and conservationist. He’s very good at putting things into the perspective of a family man in this space. And Phil T Engineer is a great co-host. Grounds us all when we’re speaking the language of the outdoorsman to people with an interest but no experience. I can only hope the show ends with Phil killing a great bird and feeding it to some of his gamer friends... Dungeons and Dragons forever Phil! I suppose.
