Running Water Podcast with Jordan Budd

Running Water Podcast with Jordan Budd

The Running Water Podcast with host Jordan Budd was built for the outdoor working class interested in western hunts, guiding clients, the gear we love and the occasional agriculture talk. This podcast is about putting the time in and making things happen. Jordan leverages her experience as an outfitter and guide at Running Water Hunting in Nebraska, along with her years of filming hunts throughout the west for her business Running Water Media. "Running Water" bases back to where it began on her family cattle ranch in Nebraska, where the hunting operation is based.

Wyoming deer and antelope application deadline is May 31. With the terrible 2022/2023 winter in the state, lots of discussion going around about whether to apply or not, so I talked with Jaden Bales about it. Great conversation and key things to think about when building points and putting your applications in!

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
