COUNTRY OUTDOORS

Country Outdoors authentically explores the outdoors and the stories of the biggest artists in Country Music. The hosts, Mary O’Neill and Mitch Petrie have quickly caught the attention of notable country artists, their fans and outdoor enthusiasts. Mary O’Neill is originally from South Wales, Australia, and grew up spending much of her weekends at her parents cattle farm venturing around and riding dirtbikes. Along with her passion for the outdoors, Mary has always had an affinity for the entertainment industry and country music. Mary has been trailblazing her own path in entertainment for 11 years, including working with a variety of Film, TV, reality and radio projects. She has since made amazing headway in growing strong relationships with country artists through one of her main expeditions in launching her own digital platform in 2015, “Honey on the Railroad,” which included her hosting filmed interviews of country musicians. Mitch Petrie grew up in Mankato, Minn. and as a child spent his summers on the lake, cultivating his passion for fishing which later grew further into a love for hunting and the outdoors overall. Not only does Mitch have skills in whipping up a fresh rabbit stew, he also has experience working in the outdoor entertainment industry. He was first connected to the production field through a buddy that he met when he was working for a manufacturing company for shooting range products, Steve Puppe. They then became partners with Steve in producing a show called “Wardens” on the Outdoor Channel. Most of his work was behind the scenes in handling the camera or managing the business aspects of the program. Petrie has always been energized both by the outdoors and by the people who write, play and enjoy country music. With his well-rounded interests, experiences, and network he has helped cultivate this engaging podcast that creates a unique avenue for artists to engage their outdoorsmen fan bases, while listeners can encounter their favorite country singers in a more personal, unique way. Artists featured in the first season include Tyler Farr, Jon Langston, Dylan Scott, Craig Campbell, Jordan Davis, Craig Morgan and LOCASH, amongst others.
