Bear Grease - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I am a woman in her 40s. I’m not originally from the south or the country. In many ways I can’t really relate to the background or lifestyle of the creators of this podcast. And yet I can’t stop listening. I can completely relate to the complexity of the human experience which is at the heart of every episode. I am learning so much about history, culture, and how closely connected we are even if it doesn’t feel that way. I appreciate that the subject matter is fascinating and well researched, the language is appropriate even for kids, and the people involved are genuine. I laugh and tear up and sit in my car in my driveway until the episode is over. In learning about other people I am learning a lot about myself. I am grateful you have produced such a good podcast. I could listen through them all and then do it again just like a good book.

I can’t say enough about beer grease. The topics are fantastic, the guests are even better. Don’t let the drawls and backwoods slang fool you, these are highly educated, intelligent and articulate folks.
This has quickly become one of my all time favorite podcasts. And it helped inspire me to finally start hunting!

Love the podcast! I’m writing this here deep in the Payette national Forest where I cook at Elk Hunting Camp. The view from this camp is breathtaking and here I sit listening and laughing to a render episode. I just love the renders with you, Misty and your father! Misty’s presence on your podcast is so fun! She is hilarious! And one of my loudest belly laughs while binge listening to your podcast was when you mentioned a misinterpretation of her name with foreigners where they called her “fog” or something like that. Bear Grease is such a fun companion during these long days in the cook tent! I’ve been obsessed with Native Americans and pioneer adventure memoir since a young teen so your context is right up my alley. I’ve read most of Boone by Robert Walters so to enjoy listening to him as a guest on the podcast was epic! I’ve turned a lot of clients onto the podcast over the last few years.

Thanks for all your work and keep it going!

The depth of emotion and incredibly interesting people and events that Clay Newcomb hosts, interviews and relates is extraordinary. I feel richer having listened, and at times my capacity for understanding my country and it’s history and all it has to offer is overwhelming…in a very good way.
