A hunting & outdoors podcast
Hunting Podcast
Real stories from everyday hunters, anglers, and conservationists — coast to coast.
About the podcast
East to West Hunting Podcast was born from a simple belief: the most important voices in the outdoor community aren't the celebrities or the sponsors — they're the regular people out there doing the work. Hunters, anglers, land stewards, and conservationists living it day to day.
From 2018 to 2021, host Todd Waldron traveled — in spirit and story — from the eastern hardwoods to the wide-open western prairies, connecting a community that shares more common ground than it often realizes.
What we stand for
Outdoor spaces are shared spaces. East to West worked to bridge regional divides and remind listeners that hunters and anglers across the country are stronger together than apart.
Public lands, clean water, and healthy wildlife populations don't protect themselves. The podcast gave voice to the conservation issues that matter most to everyday outdoor people.
Not influencers. Not industry figures. Real people with real stories — the kind that remind you why you got into the outdoors in the first place.

I'm a hunter, conservationist, and outdoor enthusiast based in New York. I started East to West because I believed the outdoor community needed a space where regular people could be heard — not just the brands and the professionals. Over three seasons, I had the privilege of talking with dozens of hunters, anglers, and advocates who reminded me every week why these wild spaces are worth protecting. This podcast was their voice as much as mine.

Conservation
Public land hunters have more skin in the conservation game than any other outdoor user group. When habitat degrades, the hunting degrades. When access is restricted, the opportunity disappears. Here's why that feedback loop matters — and what it means for the future of wild places.

The informal mentorship pipeline that sustained hunting culture for generations has broken down. More content, more gear, and more media won't fix it. Here's what actually will — and why experienced hunters bear more responsibility than they realize.

Most podcast content dates quickly. These five episodes from the East to West archive are different — they're about things that don't change. The values behind hunting, the relationships that sustain it, and the land that makes it possible.
