The 100th Episode with Kelly Curry

A 100th episode milestone turns into a discussion on why Gundog Nation works, who it reaches, and how one podcast became a real reference library for dog people. Kelly Curry surprises host Kenneth Witt with a heartfelt breakdown of what makes the show resonate - from training and hunt tests to health, youth involvement, women in hunting, and the kind of stories that stick with listeners long after the episode ends.

Kelly also revisits the episodes, guests, and turning points that shaped the show, including early support from Keith and Josh Parvin, the reach of the Drake Project with Kate and Leah, and standout conversations with voices like Steve Snell, Shannon Nardi, Rody and Kristin Best, Wayne Lane, Clark Kennington, Hannah Hall and Abby Skinner, and more. Along the way, Kenneth shares how the podcast started, why he built it around story branding, and how a two-year journey turned into a community that spans coondogs, retrievers, upland hunting, vet science, music, and beyond.

Kelly also digs into the numbers, the sponsorships from Purina Pro Plan, Migra Ammunition, and Ducks Unlimited, and the wild range of places Kenneth has broadcast from - including a bucket-list hunting trip across Montana, South Dakota, Canada, Illinois, and Africa. If you love hunting dogs, dog training, or the people building this community one conversation at a time, this one is packed with insight, encouragement, and a very clear reason to keep listening.
