Does he try to sell his guidebook.? Yes. Who cares. This podcast is full of awesome information and his insight is top notch. I absolutely love Yellowstone and this podcast helped me find and research new areas of the park. Very informative.

Elverta_Steve · Aug 2024

I consider myself pretty well versed in most things Yellowstone. I can’t even count all the times we have been there nor how many miles of back country I have hiked. I purchased the guide book referenced in the podcast just as a polite way of supporting the podcast. Wow! I found two things I never knew about. Plus, the book has a QR code that takes you to the “secret” videos. This podcast is worth your time and the book is a must purchase. Thanks for creating the podcast!

CrisDuncan · Jun 2023

An enjoyable audio presentation HOWEVER, I do not want to keep hearing I need to buy the book for further explanation and greater detail. Either do a great podcast or not. A great podcast teases me to buy the book. Pushing me to buy a book does not. Otherwise a very well voiced podcast and I will listen to more as I prep for my trip to Yellowstone this summer.

Eric J Wynn · May 2022

These podcasts and the guidebook that goes along with them are a total must have for any trip to Yellowstone national park. Not only will teddy get you to the coolest spots in the park (and with the least amount of people), but he also gives you the best Info for lodging, eating, and shopping during your trip. Every place he has sent me both in the park and out have been amazing, I can not recommend it enough, If you what to have a amazing time in Yellowstone make sure you listen and pick up the guidebook.

The host of this podcast has been convicted of illegal activities including violating park closures, trespassing on thermal grounds; violating swimming closures and cliff jumping; creating “hot pots in rivers;” and disturbing wildlife. He encourages other visitors to do the same. He isn’t someone one should take advice for visiting Yellowstone from.

Jen 13244 · Jul 2021

Let me sum up the general message I’m catching on this podcast: “There are two things more awesome than Yellowstone. One is my guidebook about Yellowstone and the other is me.” I have to hope there is good information on this podcast. The 15-20 minutes of the April 2024 update I listened to actually were a bit helpful in understanding BMAs, BUT things were repeated so much, and the self promotion and infomercial for “the best Yellowstone guidebook in the world” just put me to a point of exhaustion. Go check out some others if you’re looking for good info on Yellowstone. There are plenty out there.
