Beyond the Bow Podcast Sample
For an example of this podcast, hit the play button on the one below. It features an interview with the guys from The Hunting Public, a small group of hunters who have a large Youtube and social media following that focuses primarily on those who pursue whitetails and turkeys on public land and small tracts of private land, as well as those who don’t always have the money to purchase the highest end archery equipment. The Hunting Public hosts have an important message to share on how to appeal to new hunters and customers.
