“God’s Country” with brothers Dan and Reid Isbell is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.
This week Reid and Dan host international superstar, Dylan Gossett, out in God’s Country. Dylan dives in with one of our most passionate “What Ya Mad At's” in regards to college football. They dive in on the swift life swap that’s occurred for Dylan over the last 18 months and how he’s learned to navigate his new normal of touring, music full time, and everything in between. Dylan plays “Coal” and another tune that you don’t want to miss!

This week Reid and Dan host Grand Ole Opry member, Chris Janson out in God's Country. Chris had just gotten back from East Tennessee where he discusses how people can help the folks affected by Hurricane Helene and what it was like. Reid and Dan have the most petty "What You Mad At" stories to date, but we're pretty sure all our dad listeners can relate. They get the play by play from Chris on his most recent elk hunt in Colorado, talk about deer season prep, and the work he is doing with Bass Pro Shop to encourage conservation across the country. They cover the meaning behind "What Ya See Is What Ya Get" and what it was like working with "The Rock" for the music video. A presidential candidate makes an "appearance" that leaves the guys in disbelief and the episode "Gravorite" is a bit rowdy.
