• #116: Resolutions 101

    January 14, 2020 /

    Everyone knows that resolutions are a terrible idea – you make some bold proclamation like “I’m gonna lose 150 lbs this year” or “I’m going to summit Kilmanjaro” and you have forgotten it by January 15th! Not to worry, your fearless co-hosts at the Cast and Blast Florida Podcast are here to help you lower your resolution goals, which will in turn help you become so accustomed to making your resolutions stick, which will in turn help you skydive/zipline/shark cage dive/whatever. Plus, we talk sewage management, post-outdoor-excursion breakfasts, Jeopardy Tournament of Champions, snook fishing, decoys, and much, much more! Become a friend of the show OFFICIALLY here!

    January 7, 2020 /

    New Year, same train wreck of a podcast. This year, like so many years before it, we boldly let you know what’s going to happen in the outdoors world in 2020 BEFORE it’s even happened.  Try getting that from Meateater! Plus, we spend a good bit of time recapping Cindy Stites recent recaps of Deer Camp (read the posts here and here and hear us talk about it at 31:10), Ian Nance’s new Outdoor Power Rankings (read it here; we talk about it at 36:25), Backcountry Hunters and Anglers events in both Florida AND Georgia, and whether or not it will ever.  Stop.  #^$&*!%.

    November 5, 2019 /

    The North American Conservation Model. We toss this term around pretty frequently on our show, and we hear it mentioned on other podcasts and platforms on a regular basis . . . but, what does it mean? This week, we take a run at unpacking the model, in a quick hit fashion, to at least bring it to the surface for future conversations. Plus – Our favorite redheads, Nate’s weekly football allegiance update, Emily recommends a curling iron (sorta), and more!

  • #51: Ducks as College Football Teams

    September 4, 2018 /

    Duck season is fast approaching.  College Football Season has already started. How does a wayward outdoors podcast combine the two? Simple – we take the AP Top 10 and assign them duck species that correlate to their various program identities. Oh.  And Emily drafts country music singers.  And maybe rappers. If that sounds like the most ridiculous 40 minutes you’ve ever spent, wait until you click play! PS – if you’re in Florida, and hunt the Kissimmee River Basin, make plans to be at this meeting!
