We're returning to a Bear Grease classic this week and remembering Daniel Boone. Originally released over two years ago in August 2021, the episode remains one of Bear Grease’s most talked about episodes. New York Times best selling authors Steven Rinella and Robert Morgan lead the conversation about Boone's legacy, as Clay Newcomb searches for the real story of the American icon. This is undoubtedly a Bear Grease classic! When you're done listening, be sure to go pre-order the new audio original from Steve and Clay, "MeatEater's American History: The Long Hunters (1761-1775)."
