Gun Dudes: A Podcast for the Masses
Posted by: | CommentsDo you have a group of guys that you sit around with, and talk guns, crack jokes, and quote action movies? If so, you’ll feel right at home with the Gun Dudes podcast.
A lighthearted, actually fun approach to discussing firearms, the Gun Dudes are a group of guys that cover topics from concealed carry to IDPA shooting with a liberal helping of humor thrown in to keep the conversation interesting.
While each show will have some specific topics (also known as toe-picks), the Dudes also start each program with a bit of news that highlights citizens using firearms to defend themselves and their families. A regular segment, the Misfire Award, discusses a criminal act that stands out from the crowd due to its over-achieving level of stupidity.

Posted by: | Comments
Long time gun writer and TV personality Michael Bane publishes a weekly podcast called Down Range Radio. The show is a general firearms program that covers Second Amendment issues, product reviews, shooting, competition, Bane’s TV programs, and other bits of random things that may relate to music, outdoors, extreme sports, or even gang-bangers in Tampa, FL.
Each program is about an hour, and comes out on Wednesdays.
Podcasts, if you aren’t aware, are audio or video recordings published on the Internet in a fashion similar to syndicated radio or TV shows. Most podcasts are free, and many are produced by the average guy or by a small business. If you have a computer with an Internet connection, you can download and listen to podcasts. Read More→
Ruger SR-556: More Information and Interview
Posted by: | CommentsEric Shelton at the Handgun Podcast (Shelton….) has a great interview with Todd Wilkinson, the Chief Engineer for Rifles at Ruger. The interview covers the new Ruger SR-556 that was introduced last week at the NRA Meeting in Arizona.
For those just hearing about it, the Ruger SR-556 is Ruger’s new AR-style rifle that uses a two-stage piston rather than direct impingement, which promises greater reliability. In the interview, Wilkinson states that they have been running one of the SR-556’s without cleaning or lube for 15,000 trouble-free rounds. Read More→
The Survival Podcast
Posted by: | CommentsHi. My name is Richard and I am a podcast addict.
Two years ago, my wife bought me an iPod and I discovered podcasts. Gun podcasts to start with, followed by tech and humor podcasts. Then I discovered Glenn Beck’s show is available as a podcast. I could find almost anything I wanted as a podcast. Recently I discovered The Survival Podcast.
The Survival Podcast is not strictly a firearms podcast. However, the podcast does cover a lot of topics of concern to gun owners and has frequent shows about firearms.
The concept of the Survival Podcast is “Helping you live the life you want if times get tough, or even if they don’t.” To that end, topics on independent living through getting rid of debt, alternative energy, understanding the economy, gardening, hunting, firearms, and emergency preparedness are all covered.
Unlike some surivalist-types that are hunkered down in a bunker waiting for “the big one,” the podcaster, Jack, is a real guy with a real job who has set out to provide a better life for his family by becoming more independent and taking responsibility for their safety and survival.
The podcast is published almost every weekday, as it is recorded in the car during a long commute. There is background noise, but it is not awful. Jack is very animated and keeps listeners engaged. Frankly, some of the topics he has covered I never would have listened to if it had not been for his style and mannerisms drawing me into the conversation.
The Survival Podcast also has a very active forums section that is really worth checking out. There are a lot of great ideas and conversations going on.
The Survival Podcast is completely free and worth checking out.
Gun Rights Radio Network: Podcasts for Every Type of Gun Owner
Posted by: | Comments
Two years ago, my wife bought me my first iPod. I soon discovered ‘podcasting’ and the wide variety of free programming offered through iTunes. One of the first programs I discovered was the Gun Rights Advocate podcast hosted by Mark Vanderberg.
Podcasts, for those that don’t know, are audio (and in some cases video) files that you can download to listen to on your computer or iPod. Podcasts are most-often given away for free and follow a format similar to talk radio. Unlike traditional talk-radio, podcasts are pre-recorded.
Vanderberg began hosting a second podcast, Gun Rights News, and started forming alliances with other gun podcasters like Kenn Blanchard of The Urban Shooter. Vanderberg’s continuing efforts have brought us the Gun Rights Radio Network.
The Gun Rights Radio Network (GRRN) is a group of nine podcasters who work together to bring the public high-quality programing on a wide variety of firearms topics. From gun reviews by Massad Ayoob and John Strayer on the ProArms Podcast to Doc Wesson’s insights into the Mosin Nagant rifles at The Shot Show, there is something for everyone over at GRRN.
