This week on Outdoor Journal Radio's Diaries of a Lodge Owner podcast, I sat down with die-hard angler, chef to the stars, and host of the Eating Wild podcast, Chef Antonio Meleca.

On this week's show, we dig down to Antonio's roots, find out where he came from, get into the life and mind of a professional chef, and share some incredible fishing stories.

So if you love the outdoors, food, and famous people, you don't want to miss getting to know Chef Antonio "Smash" Meleca!

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio's Diaries of a Lodge Owner podcast, Steve finds time during the filming of a Fish'n Canada episode to sit down with co-host Pete Bowman!

On this show, Pete shares some incredible stories, we talk bass fishing in-depth, and he shares some of his favourite "Gordyisms". You definitely don't want to miss this!

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio's Diaries of a Lodge Owner podcast, I discuss muskie fishing in-depth with one of the most outstanding muskie guides in the province, Pat Tryon.

This regular guest of the show and friend of mine has over two decades of muskie fishing experience, and more than half of that as a guide. After thousands of hours on the water hunting down these elusive monsters, he has built, in my opinion, one of the most extensive understandings of these creatures. 

On this show, we dig deep into the where, why, and when of muskie fishing. We talk mechanics, and do our best to hook you up with the fish of 10,000 casts. So if you love big muskie, or just good stories, lock into this one as we talk about this cagey king of the freshwater!

This week on Outdoor Journal Radio's Diaries of a Lodge Owner podcast, I took a walk down memory lane with one of the first muskie guides I brought onto the Chaudiere team, affectionately known as The Legend, Pete Stefanac.

On this show, we're going to focus on storytelling from my early days at Chaudiere. Storytelling, whether it be at the lodge, by the fire, or at work on a lunch break, has been a fundamental exercise used since the beginning of time, and one of the key ways to enjoy time together.

So sit back, relax, and gather 'round the fire. You won't want to miss these stories from Chaudiere Lodge, days gone by!
