“God’s Country” with brothers Dan and Reid Isbell is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged,  first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.


God's Country

This week Reid and Dan host multi-platinum artist and female sensation Raelynn out in God's Country. All we can say is buckle up and get ready to one of our wildest episodes of GCP yet. Raelynn is a force to be reckoned with from her stories, to her songwriting, to her insane vocal talent. She talks about touring with Jason Aldean this past year, what it feels like rejoining her label Big Machine Music Group, and balancing it all as a mom in this industry. They discuss how long she would last as an Amish Mom and the episode ends with even Reid and Dan feeling like a redneck woman.

Ep. 102: Bear Hunting, Babies, and When I Write The Song with Jake Worthington

Blood Trails is a new investigative podcast from MeatEater, hosted by writer and journalist Jordan Sillars. Each episode digs into true crime stories from the world of hunting and fishing—cases where the woods and the water became the backdrop for violence and mystery. From missing hunters deep in public land to poachers turned killers and fishing trips gone fatally wrong, Blood Trails uncovers the moments when outdoor life collides with the darkness of the human heart. But this isn't repackaged Wikipedia. Each story features original reporting you won't hear anywhere else, expert insight from detectives and hunters, and first-hand accounts from the people who were actually there. For true crime listeners looking for something new—and outdoorsmen who know the thrill and risk of time afield—Blood Trails exposes the stories left behind in the tracks. If you’re a fan of Dateline, Criminal, or Bear Grease but want your true crime set in the wild places you know, this podcast is for you.
