Mill House Podcast

Mill House Podcast is an outdoor storytelling show with fishing at its center and golf never far from the conversation. The format is simple. A named guest sits down for a long, loose exchange about a life spent around water, competition, travel, gear, and the strange pull of chasing fish. Recent episodes move through Anthony Hsieh’s early runs down Baja in a 17-foot whaler, Jack Nicklaus’s memories of Arnold Palmer, and Tim Choate’s place in the offshore billfish world. Other installments bring in figures such as Capt. Jonathan "Stump" Hamilton, Capt. Nick LaBadie, Erik Compton, and George Anderson. The show is not built like a clean tips-and-tricks program. It is more personal than that. Stories spill from docks, river shops, golf ranges, fish houses, boats, and old trips where lines, hooks, rods, plans, and tempers could all fail at once. The conversations often start with fishing technique or biography, then widen into friendship, aging, rivalry, family succession, and the kind of stubborn appetite that keeps people heading back outside. There is a strong old-school sensibility in the pacing. Guests are given room to remember. The questions tend to honor reputation, experience, and the small details that longtime anglers would notice. A listener might hear about Mag Bay, Cabo, yellowfin tuna, striped marlin, tarpon, circle hooks, billfish influence, or a shop story that stretches across decades. The golf episodes carry the same outdoorsman’s eye, treating competition as another form of self-command rather than a separate world. Mill House Podcast can be blunt, repetitive in its recurring intro material, and occasionally rowdy. That texture is part of its identity. The appeal is not polish; it is access to people who have actually lived the stories being told. For serious anglers, outdoor obsessives, and golf fans drawn to character as much as achievement, it offers a deep bench of lived experience.
