Visit America’s Historic Ranches with Kent and Shannon Rollins and their 1876 Chuck Wagon

DENVER (February 27, 2026) – Fresh off his appearance on NBC’s TODAY Show, Cast Iron Cowboy lead man, “Cowboy” Kent Rollins, is more dedicated to his mission than ever – to feed hearty, regionally inspired meals to America’s hungry cowboys! Don’t miss the “Cast Iron Cowboy” Season 1 Marathon on Saturday night, Feb. 28, from 7:00-11:00 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.

For more than three decades, Cowboy Kent Rollins has been preparing robust meals in ranch country, and today he and wife Shannon have made it their goal to take their culinary skills and 1876 Chuck Wagon to America’s most authentic working ranches. There’s nothing they love more than to serve wholesome grub to hard-working cowboys. The Rollins’ recipes are simple, but the meals are nourishing and reflect the ingredients, cuisine and culinary practices of the region. Now’s the perfect time to catch up on the first season of Cast Iron Cowboy.

During Season 1, Kent and Shannon visit the JA Ranch in the Texas Panhandle; the Stuart Ranch in Oklahoma; the Circle L Ranch in Nebraska; the RA Brown Cattle Company in North Central Texas; the Spanish Ranch in Nevada; the Lazy T Ranch in Ten Sleep, Wyoming; the Benjamin Lee Bison Ranch in Sayre, Oklahoma; and the Diamond A Ranch in Seligman, Arizona. Each of these working ranches offers a living-history lesson and unique challenge for the highly adaptable and determined Cast Iron Cowboy crew.

When the fire is just right, Cowboy Kent goes to work, and in Season 1 the mouthwatering main dishes he cooks up include such classics as Wagon Wheel Steaks, Chicken Fried Steak, Dutch Oven Ribs, Caveman Steaks, Huevos Rancheros, Beef Enchiladas and Ranch Picanha Steak Smoked Stuffed Poblano Peppers, and even Bison Chili; and no, that doesn’t include Cowboy Kent’s unbelievable sides or desserts. Cowboy Kent is fond of saying, you “Can’t get full on fancy,” but he and Shannon hold nothing back when it comes to hospitality.

Don’t miss this Saturday’s “Cast Iron Cowboy” Season 1 Marathon from 7:00-11:00 p.m. ET on the Outdoor Channel.

Travis Tritt and Waddell Discuss What It Takes to Succeed in Today’s Changing World

DENVER (February 25, 2026) – Travis Tritt, immensely accomplished musician, singer-songwriter and member of country music’s vaunted “Class Of ’89,” joins host Michael Waddell on the latest episode of The Michael Waddell Podcast, presented by Spandau Arms and in partnership with Folds of Honor and Cigars International. There’s clearly a Southern theme to this visit between Waddell and country music star Travis Tritt. Surrounded by Tritt’s guitars and various recognitions from his amazing career in country music, the two Georgia-born-and-bred friends share many common experiences from childhood and school days, father-son relationships, thoughts on hunting all sorts of game, but especially doves, quail and turkeys, early work experiences, defining career moments, and of course, there’s a lot to be said about Travis Tritt’s life story and the beginnings of his bluesy rock style of country music.

The Michael Waddell Podcast is produced by Outdoor Sportsman Group and is available widely on Outdoor Channel YouTube, MyOutdoorTV, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and OutdoorChannel.com, to name a few.

In this episode, Travis Tritt talks about his first hunting experiences as a young man, chasing small game, squirrels, doves, and the then ubiquitous quail in that part of Georgia he called home. Later, he discovered big-game hunting and wingshooting, pursuits that his wife Theresa and their entire family shared with him. “There is nothing I like better than hunting, flushing birds behind pointing dogs. It is the most fun I have had.”

While Tritt enjoys the morning sounds of the awakening forest as much as anyone, listen to his stories about the early days of his career and you’ll understand why there was a period in his life when he probably didn’t get out hunting as much as he would have liked. “The first two years, 1990 and 1991, after I had had a little bit of success [after topping the country charts with “Help Me Hold On,” one of his five #1’s], I was doing 250 shows a year,” said Tritt. “The first two years, I remember distinctly, I was off for two weeks in a year and no two days out of that 14 days were ever together. So think about it, if you’re not doing gigs, then you got to be in the studio recording. If you’re not recording, you have to be song-writing. If you’re not writing, you need to be on a press junket… I was on the road constantly and never got a chance to come home.”

While Tritt knows a thing or two about hard work and overcoming challenges, he also has “kids” in their 20s who are trying to find their way and recognizes that things are different for their generation, and he feels for young people who are working extremely hard to make ends meet and don’t know whether they’ll ever be able to own a home. “More than anything, they’re just trying to survive. That’s the dilemma. I sympathize with them,” he said, “I really do. I see where they’re coming from, and the more I think about it, and the more I read about it and hear commentary about it, it makes me understand. Understanding is the key to having empathy…things have changed a lot.”

Nonetheless, Tritt remains a staunch believer in the American Dream. “The United States is still, to me, one of the most amazing things ever,” he said. “I mean there’s no question about it. And I don’t just say this out of pride. I have a tremendous amount of pride, but I say it because it’s a fact. This is the greatest place on the face of the planet. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else… Because I came from nothing. This is the land of the American Dream. If you’re willing to work hard enough and put everything you have into something, you have the opportunity to do whatever you want to do for a living in this country.”

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to sit down with Travis Tritt, and to meet his wife, Theresa, and family,” said Waddell. “I really had to watch myself because there’s about 10 years between Travis and me, and I was listening to a lot of his music as a young man, so I didn’t want to come across as the starry eyed fan that I am!” said Waddell. “Travis is an incredibly gifted singer-songwriter, but the true story of how he made it in Nashville is as unbelievable as it is inspiring, and you can bet I’ll be buying concert tickets as soon as the details come out on his next tour!”

The Michael Waddell Podcast releases new episodes every other week.

Waddell’s story began in the backwoods of Booger Bottom, Georgia, where he grew up surrounded by nature, family, and a love for the outdoors. A self-proclaimed “rowdy redneck,” his passion for hunting and storytelling led him to win a Realtree turkey-calling contest, which launched his career in the outdoor industry. From guiding and filming hunts to creating hit shows like Realtree Road Trips and Bone Collector, Waddell has become a beloved figure in the outdoor world.

Join Dr. Bob Ledda as He Flies to Some of Alaska’s Most Pristine Fishing Destinations

DENVER (February 25, 2026) – If you can fly there in a Super Cub, or some other bush plane, well-known Alaska fishing guide Bob Ledda will get you there! Don’t miss “Dr. Bob’s Wild Diaries,” premiering on Friday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.

Robert Ledda first fell in love with Alaska’s amazing Kenai Peninsula back in 1986, when he spent the summer before medical school working for a commercial salmon fishing operation. During that stay, he and his father and a good friend had a fly-in trip to remote Crescent Lake, and it proved to be the wilderness fishing experience of a lifetime. He knew he had to get back to the Kenai. Years later, after finishing his residency, now “Dr. Bob” leapt at the chance to serve as an ER doctor on the Kenai, which turned into a 25-year career.

In the mid-‘90s, Dr. Bob, also an experienced pilot, began to live his dream of having his own fly-in fishing guide service – All Alaska Outdoors Lodge – near Soldotna, Alaska. Once in private practice, from June to September you’d find Dr. Bob flying and fishing, and sharing the secret spots he has discovered in his over three decades of flying over the Kenai Peninsula.

Now, every Friday night at 8:30 p.m. ET, Dr. Bob is sharing those secret spots on the Outdoor Channel.

Whether it’s river fishing for sockeyes or big silvers (or one of the other salmon species of Southwest Alaska), or for rainbows, dolly varden or char; or lake-fishing for giant northern pike, lake trout and walleye; or heading onto the saltwater for halibut, ling cod and rockfish; or maybe even wingshooting for ducks, grouse or ptarmigan; Dr. Bob promises big fish and bigger adventures.

In the first episode of this season, Dr. Bob treats his family to one of his favorite fishing spots and has his hands full when big brown bears try to crash the party.

Tune in to Dr. Bob’s Wild Diaries every Friday at 8:30 p.m. ET on Outdoor Channel.

DENVER (February 18, 2026) – The latest episode (#23) of Fly Fisherman Loop to Loop podcast features an in-depth conversation with well-known Colorado fishing guide Landon Mayer on “Hunting Trout, River Etiquette, and Picking up 2,500 Pounds of Trash Annually.” Fly Fisherman Editor and Publisher Ross Purnell explores Mayer’s techniques for seeing trout, his angling adventures, and his on-going effort to keep our public lands clean. You can listen to the Fly Fisherman Loop to Loop podcast, in partnership with Patagonia, G. Loomis, Mayfly Outdoors and Cigars International, on Apple Podcast, YouTube, Spotify, and at FlyFisherman.com.

Colorado guide Landon Mayer grew up in Colorado Springs and was mentored by his local fly shop (shout out to Angler’s Covey) and local fly tier John Barr. He became a pro fly tier and one of the leading experts on sight-fishing for trout. In this episode of Loop to Loop Landon explains how to look for telltale trout signs—a hint of color, the noticeable “potato chip” of a brown trout’s pectoral fin, or the giveaway of a ghostly shadow. He also explains why he is crazy about leeches, how he prepares for every day of fishing by tying at least a dozen flies as part of his routine, and how a golden dorado in Argentina changed his life. Ross and Landon also dive into the Clean the Dream project started by Landon and his friend Brandon Kramer 10 years ago. The annual event in 2025 had 300 volunteers that included 100 different families and 75 kids picking up trash from Colorado public lands.

“I’ve fished with Landon a bunch of times,” said Fly Fisherman’s Purnell, “and I can tell you there are very few people in the world who are as dedicated to the sight-fishing game as he is. To consistently catch big trout, you need to be a hunter, and that’s what he is. It was a pleasure to chat with him about his upcoming article ‘Becoming a Hunter’ in the April-May 2026 issue (on sale March 3^rd) and find out exactly what he’s looking for when he’s trying to spot trout.”

Available on Apple Podcast, YouTube, Spotify, and at FlyFisherman.com the latest episode of Fly Fisherman Loop to Loop podcast is a must-listen for fly fisherman of all levels who want to stay informed.
