Ryan "O'Cal" Callaghan has one of the best voices for radio and podcasts that you will find yourself immerged into the stories he tells. There is nothing short of greatness with the amount of information Cal delivers to you through the "Cal's Week in Review" podcast. There is outdoor information about different states and laws to stupid people in the news...
You can find yourself ingulfed into countless hours of stories of not only his week but also his beautiful dog Snort's week and progress of growing. I started listening to Cal's podcast and did not stop until I finished every episode from #1 to #158/current. I honestly wish there was more shows I could listen to with just Cal given me the news!!!

Give this podcast a listen and see what everyone is raving about!! Worth the time and effort put into starting it up! Also, if this podcast just isn't enough after you finish them all, jump over to YouTube or The MeatEater website and watch Cals in the Field show!!! Also a wonderful series of information and hunts that make you say... WOW! I wish I was there with them!
Thank you for your time and generosity with the information you share Ryan Callaghan. If no-one else appreciates your hard work on the podcasts and shows just know I do as well as my family! We are your "biggest" fans!!!

Awesome listen!!!
