WOODSIDE with Ben O'Brien

I originally found Ben when he had the Hunting Collective Podcast. I was sad when it ended, but now I found this podcast finally! I am glad to be listening to his podcasts and his guests again! I’m super stoked to dive in and see what subjects he touches on!

More of the same commercialized nonsense that’s ruining hunting.

I appreciate Ben’s ability to evolve in his thinking and change stances on things when presented new information . The tone between him and his guests show the art of conversation is not dead between two sides that disagree, and that is so refreshing.

First - knock off the booze - slurred words and thoughts are not good. Guests are hit or miss. Most recently listened to Tyler Sharp and he was pretty good. BIll Roden was also good - others have been unlistenable. Ben tends to talk a lot about how he’s going to piss someone off, but doesn’t ever make a salient point to do so. In the Tyler Sharp episode he got way over his head on African hunting. Sorry Ben, you can’t accuse people of being colonialist without a) knowing what the word means and b) giving an example. Hunters do not hunt Africa without the approval of the local government. That ends your colonialism comment. Anyway - I’ll pick and choose, but try to be specific about your ideas and not so elusive.
