    Best Podcast from the meateater universe
    I love the show currently trying to catch up on episodes. In the early episodes I loved the fixation on OH since that’s where I’m from especially the Tecumseh episodes and the mention of the outdoor drama. A suggestion would be start a Bear Grease book club id love to read some content before the episodes.

    I think I’m going to hit a black bear!
    When your boy hit you up wit the latest hunt story from Brent and clay always gets you going on some interesting and sometimes controversial subjects that make you think about what’s important in life even when you gone!

    Bear Grease
    Episodes 3232, Pablo was a great episode and a great reminder to share the outdoors and outdoors experience. America does have the greatest ever (in my opinion) but we should want others to have that same feelings

    Too many filler episodes
    I love about every other one of the actual bear grease episodes, but I find the render, country life, and occasional main episodes to feel like boring filler. I would rather this podcast only release once or twice a month but have quality well researched interesting episodes instead of 3-4 a week with most being random people telling average at best hunting stories or just random small talk. I find myself starting to skip lots of episodes.

    Awesome
    Pablo episode was great. I personally know Tony Meyers and the other guys. I pastored in that community for 7 years. Tony is not just a good hunter and mentor but he’s a wonderful human being. He and Donna are loving, kind Christian folks. Many have set in his house and learned hunting but more than that life lessons. When I was struggling with Pastoral ministry he would listen and give me good life advice. He’s a wonderful mentor and can out hunt an outwork most men and he does it with one leg, yep lost his leg several years ago.

    Bear. Grease. Podcast.
    Love the heck outta this podcast. Does Clay always sound like he’s solving the puzzle on wheel of fortune? Same with Rinella. Guys, it doesn’t get better with 1.5x either. How do you enunciate so hard. 5 stars.

    Testimony
    Really appreciate Clay, Brent and the team for all the hard efforts to make such a great podcast. Love it even more that they use this platform to share the word of Jesus Christ. Never in your face, but in subtle ways that speak volumes as a Christian. Very encouraging my friends. The Lord has blessed you. Keep bringing us content from His great creation we call and love the outdoors. He is good. Thank you!

    Bobwhite Brigade
    I’m not sure if Clay or anyone in the Meateater sphere will read this, but if y’all do. Please check out the Rolling Plains Bobwhite Brigade Camp that is part of the Texas Brigades organization. Bobwhite brigade is a youth wildlife conservation, leadership camp where kids learn about quail and conservation while also learning leadership, public speaking skills, and critical thinking. It’s a great camp. It’s everything Meateater would be pumped to know about. Also, great podcast Clay. Keep it up.

    Quail
    This podcast reminded me of all the miles I followed my dad quail hunting when I was a child
  • Ddouglas502
    These boys have it figured out!
    All the episodes of Bear Grease, Render, and This Country Life are awesome! The cast is knowledgeable and in line with my morals and ethics. I love history involving the outdoors and Clay picks great topics. Brent is “Papaw for the People”- totally relatable to almost everyone. Great work Bear Grease crew!
  • Óttar
    Tell me a story
    The Bear Grease crew know how to tell stories with both entertainment and educational value. I look forward to new episodes popping up on my feed.
  • R.S.Ford
    Ready for the next one
    My son told me about Bear Grease a few years ago and I’ve listened to every episode since. I really enjoy This Country Life & listening to Brent talk about southern Arkansas. I grew up in SW Arkansas around Millwood Lake & Little River. It brings back memories of the days spent with family & friends hunting & fishing my Pa’s farm in this area. Keep all the shows coming I can’t wait to hear what’s next!
  • Jmmorris79
    Great show
    This is a great show
  • Spa Getty
    Yup!
    I’m a long time fan of the MeatEater. BUT, Bear Grease is hands down the best podcast out there! Now, I don’t care how anyone pronunces acorn, as long as we can all agree that those precious oak nuggets are what make late fall California Black Bears the best dam meat and grease on the planet 😘 love y’all
  • MikeUSMC269
    Great Podcast!
    I just listened to the final episode of the Daniel Boone series. Being a 7th Great Grandson of his, I took this series to heart. Truly appreciate the work that went into it. Thank you!!
  • Bryant Helvey
    The Greatest Podcast
    Thank you Clay. I am grateful for your perspective and humanity in our hunting culture.
  • Snacktivist
    Real talk!
    Fantastic!

    Thoroughly enjoy the storytelling capabilities of Brent Reeves and Clay Newcomb. If there’s anything that I would tweak, it would be keeping all stories confined to one podcast/episode length.
  • MitchyD91
    Bear Grease
    Love his different series. Great manly podcast with a lot of historical input on key characters. The only qualm I have is the assumptions made on evolution and items in that line.
  • Thirdnamedson
    Stopped listening because of ads
    Used to really love this podcast. The content is great, and Clay’s story telling ability is top notch. Really interesting subject matter and obscure stories lost to history brought back and told in a very thoughtful and respectful way. That being said, MeatEater has gotten out of hand with the ads. I don’t much care for any of MeatEaters other media. Not their other podcasts, or the show, just this one. Sorry Clay.
  • BrentStephens
    Love the podcast
    This is my favorite podcast to listen to each week. Brent Reeves and Clay Newcomb are excellent storytellers, and I have yet to find an episode that I didn’t enjoy listening to. If you enjoy hunting and the outdoors, our country’s complicated history, or just people telling a great story, I’d highly recommend this podcast every week.
  • Doublesstew
    Must Listen Podcast
    I’ve been entrenched in this podcast lately. Clay is so well spoken and his points well thought out. What a guy to have elaborated deeply on so many fascinating stories surrounding the outdoors and its history.
  • OlliePK10

  • SD77KY
    Best Podcast Out There
    I ran across this podcast searching for Theodore Roosevelt a few years ago, listened to the whole series and was hooked. I have since listened to every episode. Episode 286: The Night Rider Tobacco Wars of Kentucky & Tennessee got me to finally leave a review. Clay and the Crew never disappoint. Keep up the good work.
  • Wilson the believer
    Can’t brag on this show enough
    My wife and family are probably sick and tired of me talking about this show every week. Back when Clay started appearing on meateater and their podcast I would just want the whole show to be Clay talking. Well ask and you shall receive and now since episode one this has been my favorite podcast. And now with ole Brent Reaves it only gets better. I don’t miss a single episode of TCL or the Bear Grease

    Most of these podcasts hit close to home for me, keep them coming please. Thanks
  • CoachStarr
    Great
    You need to reach out to Jason and Travis Kelce from the New Heights podcast. Jason is interested in attending the World Champion Squirrel Cookoff.

    So rich and engrossing
    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.
  • JR000JR
    Love it!
    Keep it up
  • Jordan Beaupre
    Podcast perfection
    Never thought I could be such a fan of history. But the way it is told here and the topics covered are more often than not enough to get anyone into American history. Though he may not yet know it Clay has firmly established himself a class A American historian.
  • Adhhafjsfkfsksfkf
    Love it
    All your episodes are great

    Enjoyed the Tecumseh and Osceola series, how about doing one on Geronimo? I’ll be waiting for it next year😄 whatever happened with old what’s his name the flashy mule?
  • Annie <:><
    Well said.
    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.
  • Doogman87
    Love it
    My buddy got me listening to Bear Grease. He said I should check it out. Well I do not regret it. Being from TN, it’s great to hear stories and old tales. Even learned a few things. Got more into Bear Grease after I met Clay at the tailgate they had at the TN vs. Al game. Been listening none stop.
  • Kalex707
    Big fan of hunting, learning, and laughing!
    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! Caroline Snow
  • iaff 1784
    Still number one!!
    Always a great listen. Thank you for these feature stories.
  • Kinda lame
    Great podcast, running out of topics
    I loved this podcast. I’ve listened to 98% of the episodes. His topics used to awesome. Poisonous snakes, black panthers…. Feels like now he’s reaching and running out if topics. His episode where he interviews the poacher and kinda glorifies and feels sympathetic I think turned me off the podcast
  • MacDracor
    One of the best there is!
    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!
  • smitty13

    Better than I could’ve imaged
    I have been listening to your podcast for the last months nonstop I’ve almost listened to all of them.. my husband is tired of falling asleep to your voices (but it’s better than the true crime). I've learned so much from your podcast and have been outspoken about wanting learn how to hunt and fish. I’m glad you guys are advocating for your platform and bringing great stories.
