Running Water Podcast with Jordan Budd

Running Water Podcast with Jordan Budd

The Running Water Podcast with host Jordan Budd was built for the outdoor working class interested in western hunts, guiding clients, the gear we love and the occasional agriculture talk. This podcast is about putting the time in and making things happen. Jordan leverages her experience as an outfitter and guide at Running Water Hunting in Nebraska, along with her years of filming hunts throughout the west for her business Running Water Media. "Running Water" bases back to where it began on her family cattle ranch in Nebraska, where the hunting operation is based.
