“Longtime lister with an updated review. I don’t recognize who Steve and the MeatEater brand have become. It used to focus almost exclusively on public land advocacy, conservation, your relationship to the food you’re procuring, and the joy of physically grinding away in the backcountry. Now it sounds like a cookie cutter version of every other lame hunting podcast out there pushing crazy-expensive gear, quad runners, hunting private properties and a ton of exotic animals in Texas. Steve used to say he didn’t like sports and now it’s like every other episode is recapping a hunt with some sports celebrity who’s dipping his toe into the hunting scene for the first time. If that’s what the audience wants so be it, but increasingly it looks like he’s pimping out the MeatEater brand to all the hunting/ATV companies for the sake of making more quick money. I stopped subscribing awhile ago and find myself downloading fewer and fewer select episodes. It’s really sad to see someone you used to respect and appreciate so much sell out so bad.”
