Living the Outdoors is a field-minded Wisconsin outdoor show with a radio-call-in backbone. It starts where the season starts. Turkey opener is near. The ice has pushed off Lake Winnebago. A blizzard has just come through. UTVs need service, duck hunters are thinking about weather, and somebody has a story that sounds funny until the lesson lands. Marc Drewek anchors it with a relaxed, familiar style that leaves room for guests to wander into memory, advice, and local detail. The conversations are not built for quick takes. They breathe. A segment on UTVs can move from service intervals and oil changes into the plain reality of taking machines deep into the Northwoods. A turkey discussion can linger on youth hunts, missed shots, tight patterns, and the strange problem of a bird coming in too close. The show has a steady belief that outdoor experience changes people. That belief shows up most clearly in stories about taking people outdoors, accessible hunting, and getting younger people away from screens and into the woods. One episode remembers helping Tim, a blind individual who had hunted before, take a turkey through a careful setup with a phone scope, a red dot, and patient teamwork. Another episode treats the Armistice Day storm as both history and warning, using old boats, poor clothing, and sudden weather to talk honestly about risk. Regular features such as Ask a Game Warden and the Randy Brockdrop Show give it structure without making it stiff. The tone stays warm, practical, and sometimes dry. It is gear talk, weather talk, hunting talk, and responsibility talk in the same hour. More than anything, Living the Outdoors treats the outdoors as a shared inheritance: something learned from others, passed along carefully, and remembered long after the season ends.
Made for: Built for hunters, outdoor families, and Wisconsin listeners who like practical field conversation with local weather, regulations, gear, and seasonal context. It also suits newer outdoorspeople who want stories and mentorship more than glossy instruction.
What sets it apart: The show stands apart through its mix of local radio texture, recurring outdoor guests, and plain emotional stakes. It treats a UTV service question, a turkey miss, a game warden visit, and a life-changing hunt as parts of the same outdoor culture.
