  • Ep. 186 "Passion or Pastime" | Sam Thrash
    May 6 2024

    The first "solo episode" of Fall Obsession Podcast. For 185 episodes, each and every one has consisted of a conversation between a host and one or more guests. Despite some reservations about recording a one-man podcast, show host Sam Thrash breaks the normal mold and hops behind a microphone by himself. The last thing Sam wanted was to pick a random topic just for the sake of just recording a podcast. He believes an episode like this should carry some weight and be worth the listen. What Sam chose to speak about is raw, authentic, and comes from the heart; talking vulnerably about his personal struggles as a podcast host, a show producer, a business owner and balancing it all with being a family man and a firefighter. In a busy life, and one with multiple passions or "identities" has he references, it is easy for those passions to turn to pastimes. Balance becomes key, drive and work ethic are required, and healthy encouragement and influences go farther than ever before on the path to overcoming and succeeding.

  • Ep. 181 "Saving Wildlife & Hunting" | John Stallone, Mike Costello & Sam Thrash
    Mar 25 2024

    The Wildlife Conservation Battlefield is one not normally occupied, nor perhaps even thought about by the every-day outdoors man and woman. Hunter's rights are constantly being attacked and manipulated by the anti-hunting community, and it may be closer than you realize to impacting you directly. However, organizations like HOWL for Wildlife are making it possible for every outdoor enthusiast and hunters to have their voice heard. Mike Costello and John Stallone are two faces of this organization; and they are dedicated to preserving the future of wildlife and hunting through science-based wildlife management and conservation, and not ballot-box wildlife decisions. Join us for a rich and intense conversation discovering how hunting is slowly and strategically being cut away, what HOWL is currently doing, and how you yourself can better represent your outdoor passions and make your voice known!
