The Brothers Hunt
“God’s Country” with The Brothers Hunt (brothers Dan and Reid Isbell) is a rollicking weekly podcast that sits at the intersection of country music and the great outdoors. Each episode explores how today’s biggest and most talented country stars and songwriters pull inspiration from rugged, first-hand relationships with the natural world. Nashville songwriters by profession who spent their childhoods getting muddy in the wilds of Tennessee, Dan and Reid draw on their own passion for hunting and fishing to lead a thought-provoking and fun exploration of the fundamental role of outdoor living in country music.
Jo Dee Messina on Running Away, Finding Jesus & Surviving Fame on God's Country Podcast
Jo Dee Messina joins Reid and Dan Isbell, The Brothers Hunt, on God’s Country for one of the most unforgettable conversations they've had. For the first time, Jo Dee tells the wild story of being sent to boarding school at 13, running away, ending up in Mexico, attempting to cross the border alone, and eventually being escorted home by an air marshal — a story she says she’s never told before. But this episode goes far beyond the crazy stories. Jo Dee opens up about her faith, motherhood, raising two boys, cutting toxic people out of her life, the pressure and “crush” of fame, and why she believes stepping away from time with God is never worth the success on the other side. She also shares the heart behind Broom Tree Haven, her vision for creating a safe place where artists, athletes, and people in the public eye can escape the pressure, reconnect with their families, and remember who God created them to be. Plus, Jo Dee talks about her new album Bridges, her journey from a scrappy kid in Massachusetts to one of country music’s most iconic voices, getting her car repossessed so many times she knew the repo guy, and the grassroots hustle that helped launch her career. This one is funny, raw, faith-filled, and full of stories you’ve never heard before.
