Philip Glass On Round The Fire Podcast

[Drywaller44]

Listening to podcast like these is what made me realize that Africa was within my budget if I worked hard enough for it. A podcast is actually how I found out about this site which helped me immensely.

The 3 you listed are all good ones. Others that have some African content are Lone Star Outdoor Show, Backcountry Hunting, Safari Trails, Blood Origins, Australian Hunting Podcast.

There are others out there with just an episode or two about Africa hunting but I find those by searching keywords like an African country with the word (hunt, hunting or safari before or after it.)

Safari Stories is a photography podcast about mostly sightseeing Kruger.

History of South Africa is an interesting listen if you want to learn more about the history of areas you may be hunting.

I really enjoy the History of South Africa podcast and have listened since it started. Thanks for those other suggestions. I've found a few isolated ones through keywords like you say.

The first podcast on Africa hunting I ever found was an early Meateater podcast episode, with Thomas McIntyre.

It's amazing how difficult it is to discover these things. I occasionally search my podcast app for Africa hunting podcasts and never saw this. I also do a DuckDuckGo search about once or twice a year, and only just now found this on there. I could've been listening to Round the Fire since 2020 but had no idea it existed. I thought the only one based in Southern Africa was PH Journals.

Please, prove to me how clueless I am by sending more examples!

(I know about the Big Game Hunting Podcast.)

Anyway I'm really looking forward to listening to this.

Yea there are so few Africa podcasts. Like you I search from time to time.

Me too!

I'm happy that Jono McHugh is back doing his Round the Fire podcast. He was the person who put me in touch with Juan and Lauren Stander of LJ Safaris for my first African hunt.

As things would have it, I listened to his Episode 38 where he explained about his H1B visa and moving to Texas on the last leg of my journey home. He refers to Juan and Lauren near the end of that podcast. I felt like my trip had come full circle.

Small World! Jono is now my neighbor!!! He works in a ranch right next to me now. Wow

 

[Philip Glass]

I’ll be in an episode of the Lone Star Outdoor Show soon. Talking about Africa of course!

 

[Laniarius]

Me too!

I assume you're referring to the History of South Africa podcast?

Of course. I would love that. Maybe when I get back from this Omay safari.

Phillip, it’s exciting to hear about others hunts. Your next Omay visit should be a good one. Please keep us all posted so we can ride along.

Yes I have listened to all of them. Very interesting

In case you didn't know and it others are interested, the same guy, Des Latham, also did a podcast called South African Border Wars. The series is complete, but it should still be available. I found it unbelievably interesting.

 

[Throwback]

I picked up a few podcasts in this thread I did not know of, Thanks! Any more that anyone can recommend are welcome. As some others here, I routinely listen to:

biggamehuntingpodcast
backcountryhunting
dsc campfires
sportingclassics
PH journal
Ron Spomer outdoors
Hornady podcast

Also, FTW ranch had one for awhile. Its not going currently but its out there and some good episodes.

Cheers

Some have mentioned the new This is Africa podcast in other threads, specifically about topics in the thread.

I think it's off to a great start and it's an excellent complement to the other Africa hunting podcasts. In the latest one, Andy Buchanan interviews Buzz Charleton, who revealed that he pays a local guy to add firm rubber soles to his Crocs. I often wondered how long those Crocs lasted given the mileage an elephant hunting PH must put on.
