Birdshot Podcast

Nick Larson

Booking Overview

This is an interview-focused outdoor hunting podcast centered on upland hunting, bird dogs, shotguns, and wingshooting, with recurring guests who are trainers, guides, authors, shooting-sports professionals, and outdoor-product experts. Agencies could credibly pitch knowledgeable bird-dog trainers, upland hunting authors, professional guides, shotgun instructors, sporting-shooting champions, and relevant gear or conservation experts; booking difficulty is low to medium because demonstrated niche expertise matters more than mainstream celebrity status.
