Great interviews and a good show.
“It’s just six bucks.” A claim made repeatedly in every single episode. But it’s $6.99, so constant insults from the host. Dude, drop the $.99 or start being honest that it’s seven bucks a month to sponsor. We’re not as dumb as you think we are.
Biggest gobs of BS in Wildland you can find. Idk what happened to this guy
As a former helitack & hotshot and a father of a hotshot this podcast is great for those that want more than just some wildfire updates. Good interviews, good behind the scenes information that typically otherwise wouldn’t be heard .
If you’re hoping to hear right wing bootlicking and “I told you so” for hours, this is the show for you.
