I had a great time chatting with him.”`
-Janis Putelis  (MeatEater)

“You’ve asked me some fantastic questions. You obviously did your homework and asked me questions nobody else has. And I think that is the value of your podcast – that people are getting information that they are not going to get anywhere else. So, thank you for that!”
~Brad Thor (#1 New York Times Bestselling Author, BradThor.com)

"George is so well prepared for each interview. He asks the same questions that I know the listeners want answers to as well. He’s a star whether the interview is via zoom or live and in front of an audience."
-David Brown (publicist with Simon & Schuster -works w/ Jack Carr, Brad Thor, Don Bentley, Jim Shockey, etc) 

"I'm lucky enough to have some great conversations with really interesting people, but I found myself feeling extra lucky talking with George. He's a great listener, does his homework and makes the conversation feel like one you'd be having around a fire, or maybe whispered in a deer blind."
-Jesse Griffiths

“Not only does my friend George Blitch have the greatest name for a podcast, the content is top notch.
​An easy listen with interesting and informative topics and guests. I highly recommend it.”
~Brent Reaves (host of "This Country Life Podcast", MeatEater)

“I’ve had the pleasure of being on the Son of a Blitch Podcast twice now, and was very impressed with host George Blitch’s thorough preparation for both shows. George read my books and researched my work thoroughly before our interviews and generated some great questions and discussion points for our conversions. As result they were informative, provocative, inspiring and fun and I highly recommend tuning into the Son of a Blitch Podcast for some very diverse, exciting and informative discussions!”
~Lt. John Nores, Ret.  (former Game Warden & author of Hidden War, War In The Woods, Where There Is Smoke)

"George Blitch knows how to keep a conversation real and interesting. He’s got a knack for bringing out topics you wouldn’t hear elsewhere, making his podcast a go-to for anyone who loves good storytelling with a personal touch.  Chatting with George is like sitting down with a friend who you just love to talk to."
-Jason Phelps (Phelps Game Calls, MeatEater)

"I typically find myself more comfortable listening than talking, so podcasts and interviews can be a bit challenging for me. I often worry that I usually just repeat the same stories. However, George stood out as one of the most enthusiastic and engaged interviewers I've encountered. He made the experience enjoyable and asked insightful questions, leading to a natural and unique conversation. I would happily join him again anytime!" 
-Paul Lewis (Founder / Lead Designer | FHF Gear)

"George is a really good host! It's like having a normal conversation with a friend that has known you for a long time.  It was one of my favorite podcast interviews I've ever been a part of."
-Tyler Jones (The Element, MeatEater)

"I opted to come on the Son of a Blitch podcast in person and at George's home. Upon arrival he had hot coffee and wild hog tacos ready to get wrapped in warm fluffy lard tortillas. The man knows his way around the podcast mic and the kitchen. From that morning on, I knew George was my kind of guy! His genuine and authentic interest in his guest's lives and passions can not be faked and is the obvious reason he's found so much success in this form of media."
-Chef Jean-Paul Bourgeois (Duck Camp Dinners)

"George includes a wide variety of subjects and guests on the SOB podcast. From authors and musicians, to hunting and conservation and even other podcast hosts, the SOB podcast goes down many roads and varied conversations. George does the research and is well prepared for each discussion, ready with questions, yet allows the conversation to follow its own path"
-Doug Duren (Sharing The Land founder, MeatEater contributor)

"Can't say enough great things about my experience on the Son of a Blitch podcast. Even though George and I didn't know each other prior to the podcast, I now consider him a friend and can't wait to join the podcast again some time soon. George's interview style is enthusiastic and he pulls you in when you're on the podcast and it makes for a great interview and great overall experience. Catch up with all of  George's podcasts, and enjoy the ride he takes his guests and the audience on!"
-Mark Greene (retired US Navy SEAL, author of "UNSEALED")

"George Blitch. Son of a Blitch! Haha. Man, I remember thinking with a podcast name like this, it HAS TO BE GOOD......... Then George and I started visiting and the conversation felt real and the questions and answers flowed. Like seeing an old friend, George was easy to talk to and the time flew by. I enjoyed the conversation and would jump back on anytime."
-Dirk Durham, aka The Bugler (Phelps Game Calls, MeatEater, co-host of "Cutting The Distance" Podcast)

George is great host! He has detail oriented and insightful questions and the ability to let his guests speak without interruption. I enjoyed my time with him during his podcast as a guest immensely and have enjoyed many other episodes with his great guests. George is serious and entertaining, a fine line to walk.  He provides education and entertainment through his guest selection to his audience. The Son of a Blitch Podcast and his guests provide a podcast that I can learn and gain something from with every episode!
~Matty Nelson (Seekins Precision, Hat Creek Training)

"While I have visited with lots of SOBs over my seventy plus years, George Blitch was one of the most prepared interviewers that I have faced.  He asked me questions that only someone who had known me since high school, would have known to ask.  It was quite obvious that he was one of the few who actually read my book, EYES FRONT and not just looked at the pictures."
               -Gary Roberson, (Host of CARNIVORE, FREQ Calls, Burnham Brothers )

George Blitch knows how to conduct serious interviews. I was honored to have George interview me about my new book The Honorable Hunter: How to Honorably and Persuasively Defend and Promote Hunting. George had read my book in depth. In my interview, George demonstrated his skill to identify small details of the book — the significance of a Socratic dialogue— and his ability to grasp the book’s grand overarching themes, such as how hunting can enrich the moral character of young hunters and make them stronger more competent people. The interview was a delight by every measure, when important issues were discussed with probity and humor.
~Michael Sabbeth

"It's rare for someone to come to a podcast extremely well prepared. George was that and some! The fact that he knew facts about me before I even started down the road of Blood Origins showed he had spent time and did his research. Really appreciated that element of him and it made for a better podcast for sure!"

~Robbie Kroger (Founder of Blood Origins, BloodOrigins.org)

"I was fortunate to be a guest on one of the first Son of a Blitch podcasts and have been a fan of George's ever since. George is a natural conversationalist and makes it seem like each guest is talking with a lifelong buddy. George is a real deal outdoorsman as well. During our talk I mentioned that OSCF was about to film some mentor hunts and George immediately volunteered his help. A few months later George and his wife showed up and helped out with a mentored hog hunt in Texas. Keep up the great work George!"
~Jim Curcuruto, Executive Director, Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation

I'm flattered whenever podcast hosts invite me onto their show to discuss hunting, fishing, conservation or anything else about the outdoors. I'm even more flattered when it's clear the host comes ready with good, specific questions tailored to my work or issues I should know. George Blitch is that kind of podcast host. Once he starts asking questions, he listens to your answers and tests your depth with follow-up questions, including some I couldn't anticipate. These aren't "gotcha questions." It's all about probing, prodding and not settling for canned answers. That makes for a good conversation. I hope that by making me think, George enables his followers to hear thoughts and info they didn't already know. It's time well spent.
