Team GoWild Sits Down to Chat with Cody Rich

I've been listening to Cody Rich's podcast since early spring, and I keep coming back. He stays on my playlist with the elites because Cody's shows are so well done. This guy is a storyteller. Whether he's interviewing a no-name, average Joe hunter with a passion for the lifestyle, or someone as well-known as Ben O'Brien, Cody weaves pure podcast perfection.

Last night, John and I sat down with Cody and got to tell GoWild's story. Well, OK some of it was just random, like the tale of my great grandfather's wooden leg, and that time John was almost run over by a cow (elk, not the milk ones, but that'd be pretty hilarious, too). But we did talk about GoWild—I swear.

It's amazing to see that in a year GoWild has gone from an idea in my head to being on a show among the ranks of some of the most influential folks in hunting. And we're so grateful for the opportunity. Give the show a listen below, or check it out on Stitcher, iTunes or Cody's website. And do yourself a favor—subscribe to The Rich Outdoors wherever you get your podcasts.
