What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The 6 Ranch Podcast is one of the very few podcasts that keeps me coming back every episode. Super genuine conversations, great stories and real down to earth outdoors lifestyle vibes. You can tell the host (James) actually lives what he talks, which makes it way more interesting than other podcasts. Whether you’re into ranching, farming, hunting or just good conversations, this podcast is effort you. Keep up the good work James you inspire and encourage many young hunters and growing ranchers like myself. You the man.

Ostyn’s Cattle Co · May 2026

Love the perspective James brings to the podcast space. He’s got both range and expertise, and a curiosity that brings out the best in his guests. I love the solo ‘sodes including this most recent AMA. Bring on more of those!

BBart87 · Apr 2026

I love this podcast because it is not commercialized, always informative, and includes a ton of variety. Episode content is thought-provoking and entertaining. If you are tired of MeatEater’s exploitation of this space for their own excessive financial gain and looking for a content provider that hasn’t sold out to the industry, then give this podcast a try. Thank you, James Nash for keeping it real.

MnMskier · Jan 2026
