About the podcast

Built for the everyday outdoorsperson

East to West Hunting Podcast was born from a simple belief: the most important voices in the outdoor community aren't the celebrities or the sponsors — they're the regular people out there doing the work. Hunters, anglers, land stewards, and conservationists living it day to day.

From 2018 to 2021, host Todd Waldron traveled — in spirit and story — from the eastern hardwoods to the wide-open western prairies, connecting a community that shares more common ground than it often realizes.

What we stand for

The three pillars

🤝

Community

Outdoor spaces are shared spaces. East to West worked to bridge regional divides and remind listeners that hunters and anglers across the country are stronger together than apart.

🌿

Conservation

Public lands, clean water, and healthy wildlife populations don't protect themselves. The podcast gave voice to the conservation issues that matter most to everyday outdoor people.

🎙️

Everyday voices

Not influencers. Not industry figures. Real people with real stories — the kind that remind you why you got into the outdoors in the first place.

What you'll hear

Topics from the field
and beyond

Hunt stories & tactics

From whitetail runs in the East to elk country out West — honest accounts of successes, failures, and everything the woods taught along the way.

Conservation & public lands

Habitat loss, water rights, access issues, and the policies shaping the future of wild places — discussed in plain language by people who care.

Culture & identity

What does hunting mean to a family? A community? A region? Episodes that explore the deeper roots of outdoor tradition and why it matters.

Guest interviews

Conversations with wildlife biologists, land managers, conservation advocates, and fellow hunters sharing what they've learned in the field.

Host & Creator · 2018–2021

I'm a hunter, conservationist, and outdoor enthusiast based in New York. I started East to West because I believed the outdoor community needed a space where regular people could be heard — not just the brands and the professionals. Over three seasons, I had the privilege of talking with dozens of hunters, anglers, and advocates who reminded me every week why these wild spaces are worth protecting. This podcast was their voice as much as mine.
