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.

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

Always a great listen. Thank you for these feature stories.

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

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!

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy listening to you guys! I am always looking forward to the next one! Keep up the great work guys.

I like the History better than many history podcasts

Excellent podcast Brent!

Keep em coming This country life! Love it Y’all some great people! Wilderness pod was super boring!

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.

I’m giving this podcast a five star rating only because I can’t give it six. The topics and format are great. And not to mention This Country Life 👍🏼👍🏼

I cut my teeth on Meateater. Absolutely enjoy listening. Through Meateater I discovered Bear Grease. It is now my favorite podcast of all time. I also enjoy This Country Life. I was able to meet Brent when he stopped in my knife shop at Pickles Gap which I am no longer associated with. Y’all are awesome. Keep it up. The intro theme songs are like an old friend now.

My family and I enjoy every Bear Grease podcast, Render, and Country Life episode. We discovered this late and have been listening from the beginning for the past several months whenever in the car. My wife loves Misty and the other ladies on the Render and we all love the content and style of all your podcasts. It’s great to have a wholesome, compelling podcast we all enjoy. Keep it up!

These Arkansans provide hours of great entertainment for me every week. I don’t hunt or fish, but these personalities are selling me a way of life that I enjoy listening to and strive to be a part of.

I love this podcast. They all put a lot of heart into it! I especially can't wait for Friday mornings to listen to the new This Country life! Thank you for everything you all do!

Brent, from an old boy in southern Idaho keep up the good news! I’m about your age and love to hear your experiences in life. Even though you and I grew up across the country from one another I can’t help but feel a “ kinship” with ya! Keep up the great , fun and interesting podcast! Paul- Idaho

Whether it is Clay Newcomb taking a deep and empathetic dive into some great American story, or a few minutes of life lessons and emotional stories on Brent Reaves’ “This Country Life”, Bear Grease is a show I will instantly pop in the headphones and listen. One of the best shows on the web. Thank you Clay and Brent!

Best podcast. Period.

Always very interesting. Great listen!

I started listening to the show back in June and have finally listened to every podcast to present. I enjoy listening to the history of the country as well as the story’s told on all the shows, especially the ones on this country life with Brent (render boy). Great show keep up it up.

Can’t wait to see where Clay and Brent go next!!

Clay is an amazing host who tells incredibly interesting stories.

I love this country life

I know exactly what that boy meant by he never knew what they be eatin over there . My neighbor ate all kinds of critters I never ate anything over there especially when they all say here try this .

The Ozarks are 1.6 billion years old?😂 I used to like Clay because I understood he was a Christian and man of character. I guess I was wrong and he’s an Darwinian just like the rest of these clowns in the outdoor space. BG is no longer my go-to podcast. Sorry you just lost a big fan.

One of the most informative and well organized conservation news and history programs available. Thank you for what you do!

I’m a little bias as I was born in Arkansas, but I enjoy this show and like to drive and listen

Keep them coming

Absolutely love the content, bear grease, the render, and this country life. All of yall do such a great job and enjoy every one. Clays articulation, Gary “the believer “ and his blunt realism, land bridge, Brent reaves whenever he is there, and many more do such a wonderful job discussing the great content that you are making and researching. All that being said, Misty’s laugh could bring a smile to a hobo on his darkest of days and always has an insightful outlook. Me and my wife love you all and hope to meet up with y’all one day. Gunna try to make the squirrel cook off one year. Y’all all smile the people I could talk with for hour around a camp fire. Keep it going. Keep the wild places wild. Two thumbs up!

Hunting, fishing and outdoor activities. Great stories from very interesting individuals.

Do the research there are plenty of NPS lands that allow hunting; from subsistence hunting in Alaska national parks to NPS lands in the East and in between. Smack my head on this one

Fresh chilled goats milk is great but leave it in the fridge for a couple days and it starts getting goatee taste. Wish we could trot line in WI. God bless

Great stories well researched and told. Thoroughly enjoy it and thankful that I can enjoy it with my kids.

I grew up in the woods in Ohio and have traveled to a lot of states but i think i have learned more listening to the podcast then i have from any other source.

I've been listening since the first episode. Made my first trot line with Brent's voice guiding my hand. Just wish the show was longer. I suppose the saying "leave them wanting more" applies here - cause I want more. Thanks from nea

Im german. And a big meat eater can we make a podcast known as „Fleisch in Germany“

I never saw myself listening to no podcast. I was driving down 1-30 and heard an advertisement on the radio about The Bear Grease Podcast. My first thought was this is probably a bunch of yuppies from some big city making fun of country folks. I had no interest in trying to figure out how to even look for a podcast. A few weeks later I was at Taco Villa in Russellville (amazing food by the way) I saw a ol’ boy wearing a Bear Grease shirt. I thought that feller looks country, and if he’s sporting their shirt I orta figure out how to listen to it. I did. I was born and raised in Arkansas, traveled most of it. From the Ozarks, The Ouachitas, and The Delta areas. I’ve learned a lot about Arkansas through this podcast. This podcast makes me reminisce older folks that have since passed on, the way I was raised and it takes me back to a time that only lives on through stories. Both Bear Grease and This Country Life are outstanding!! It took some time, I’ve finally listened to every episode. Both Clay and Brent have a way of telling a story that you have no choice but to be captivated by their words. Keep up the amazing work gentlemen, and maybe one day our paths will cross.

This has quickly become my favorite podcast… hands down! Just regular bubbas doing what we truly enjoy, and throwing in great info, & some belly laughs along the way. I find myself waiting impatiently for the next installment. Keep it up gentlemen, this brings a smile to MANY.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast, and country life ! Very interesting stories

Beargrease is the most anticipated podcast that I subscribe to. Clay Newcomb is a down to earth woodsman with a nose for great stories who doesn’t get in the way of the people and places he’s learning from. Clay puts in the time to produce these podcasts , respecting his listeners in the process. So we get to enjoy the ride and learn a thing or two at the same time. Beargrease and Meatester have raised the bar for everyone else. Hit follow and join the fun. This Country Life is the icing on the Beargrease cake. Always a good way to end the week. 👍

I’ve been listening to Bear Grease for the last year and I look forward to each and every episode every week! Bear Grease and This Country Life have made me a better person and better outdoorsman! Keep doing what you do!

I have listened to this podcast from day 1 and am finally giving a review. Thank you so much for the work you guys put in to this show. The delivery is as if we are friends and your conversationally telling me a about a certain topic. I look forward to Wednesdays to hear what Bear Grease has in store. Keep up that commitment to excellence Clay!!

I agree clay residents should have propriety over non residents I live in Ohio and we are over ram with out of state deer hunters a large amount of our local hunting spots are being lease up and the locals are losing ground to hunt I know people will say pull out your wallet and lease it then but our local economy won’t support lease cost and living cost both

Never have enough of the Meateater pod and started listening to this sometimes. Huge fan of the topics and well spoken hosts.

Love the new episode about the Russian snag, but Clay, Oklahoma is not the Midwest!

This is by far the best podcast out there! I appreciate all the hard work Clay, Brent and the whole bunch put into these podcasts. They are one of the biggest highlights of my weeks! I’ve listened to a ton of great outdoor related podcasts but this is the only one where I find myself replaying episodes multiple times. This show (both Bear Grease, and TCL) is good hearted, educational, entertaining, and has a way of bringing me back down to earth when work has my life beyond busy. This Country Life is my absolute favorite! I’ve heard it said that Brent has a way of making you feel like you are there in person with him and that’s so true! I could listen to that dude read labels off of soup cans. 😂 Bear Grease is unmatched by any other show in the quality of the conversation and topics discussed! Clay is an old soul but also obviously ahead of his time! I can’t tell y'all how much I love this podcast. Thank you guys for all that you do! -Julih Reckner

I haven’t hunted lions or bobcats but it is obvious these people will be attacking all hunting. I sent the link to this podcast to 10 people who I know hunt in Colorado but don’t live there. I told them all that I donated to help with “our” fight. Praying for success in this battle.

Clay, I was introduced to Bear Grease several months back by my uncle Lee who sent me the Genuine Outlaw’s episodes. I must say I was hooked from the start. I travel for work as a lineman and get to see a lot of the country side. I reside in southern WVa and have been described as country as cornbread. I decided to back up to episode 1 and as I travel to and fro Im listening to your podcast. Im currently on episode 163 with ole Brent, I feel that I actually know y’all. I’ve always had a love for law abiding hunting and fishing (taught by my late dad Jerry) but work has kept me out of the woods and streams for several years. This podcast has definitely rekindled the fire in me to take time for my son Gage 21 and my grandson Greyson 2 to get them out and teach them as much as I can about nature. Love the fact that I can listen to y’all with my family in the vehicle and never worry about the content. Give everyone a big howdy from Southern WVa!! And keep it up man, what you’re doing is awesome! Sincerely, Jason Rayburn

It’s time to split Bear Grease and This Country Life. TCL is a true gem of a show and wholesome good listening for folks of all ages. Contrasted with that petty little man, Clay, and Bear Grease, which is a complete waste of time. I find myself so horribly disappointed when my feed updates and there is a new episode of BG. I can’t mark as played quick enough just to make this little bridge troll go away.

Best outdoor related content anywhere. Informative and wholesome.
