I have been a MeatEater listener for years and always find the podcast interesting. Recently, the new episodes have become available as either an audio or video download. Not having any interest in video, I kept downloading the audio versions. Ever since this change, the audio version now stops multiple times during playback, and when you resume play, the pod resumes at an earlier portion of the pod than you were at - causing the need to fast forward and rewind as many as eight times per episode. Again, I like the podcast, but this is becoming too frustrating to deal with.
Since I have discovered this podcast I can not stop listening to it. I really enjoy how their discussions vary from hunting to conservation to cooking to authors etc. THE best podcast hands down, I said what I said!!!!
I’ve always enjoyed the meateater podcast for thoughtful discussions about outdoor topics. Lately, my kids have caught onto the meateater kids podcast, and love it. They’re constantly asking me to play it while we’re in the truck. If the first five episodes were on cassette, we’d have thoroughly worn out the tape by now. Keep ‘em coming.
Steve is a legend. The dynamic between him and the team is funny and engaging while reminding everyone about the important parts of hunting. Sure there are ads, but that’s how they pay the bills. The only way around that is to pay for a subscription (I would do to not have ads).
In a recent episode you addressed the issues your listeners are having since adding the video component to you podcasts, something I have complained about, but said that because Apple is promoting your show more you don’t care. So until the issues are fixed I am unsubscribing. Plenty of other hunting podcasts where I won’t constantly have issues with freezing and skipping around or just not downloading. Also the new format of separate interview, news, and trivia shows sucks compared to the old episodes with better titles.
Whenever you boys decided to add video as an option to Apple Podcasts it messed up the ability to download and play these offline. They lag and perform much poorer than previously. I love the show, but now I’ve resorted to using Spotify to listen to these episodes.
