Ep. 262: This Country Life - The Hurricane Oct 18, 2024

Show notes

A work trip to southern Louisiana forced Brent to break a promise he’d made to himself many years ago. After his experiences during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he’d never thought of returning as a tourist. A recent fishing trip helped turn a broken promise into a journey of healing and rediscovery. This one’s a little different but the message has never been more important.

Ep. 261: Osceola - The Black Drink Singer Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

In this episode of the Bear Grease podcast, we begin a dive into the origin, life, and legacy, of The Seminole War leader Osceola. Many people know the name, but few know why. As we continue our pursuit to "explore things forgotten but relevant," listen as light is shed on the significance of a man who stood for what he believed in and it cost him his life. Osceola expert and historian, Dr. Patricia Wickman, describes his early life and culture, Jake Tiger of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma talks about his lineage to Osceola, and Seminole filmmaker, Sterlin Harjo, shares his personal impact from history and lore surrounding the life of Osceola.

Ep. 260: This Country Life - Dog Traders Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

Dog traders can describe people who specialize in selling dogs. The group Brent's talking about deals specifically with coonhounds. There's a lot of history in how selling was done in the past, as opposed to how it's done today. Hear how one community of Arkansas hunters did it and listen to a tale of how a hound made an impact on Brent and his family. Join us for Dog Traders on MeatEater's "This Country Life" podcast.
